by Ursula Burri (Java User Group Switzerland) 25 Aug '09

25 Aug '09

Dear CHOOSE member The Java User Group switzerland executive board is pleased to invite you to a presentation by Mario Fusco, Ex Machina on 'No More Loops with LambdaJ'. This event is free for all SI-CHOOSE members! With kind regards Ursula Burri, Java User Group Switzerland No More Loops with LambdaJ ========================== <http://www.jugs.ch/html/events/2009/lambdaj.html?by=mailing%20of%20another%…> 15.10.09 Technopark Zurich, Room Newton 1009 Travel instructions: <http://www.technopark.ch/start.cfm?p=90&s=0> SPEAKER ------- Mario Fusco, Ex Machina AGENDA ------ 17:00 - 18:15h: Talk incl. Q/A Afterwards you are invited to a refreshment. ABSTRACT -------- LambdaJ library makes it easy to manipulate collections in a pseudo-functional and statically typed way. To iterate over collections and nested loops is often error prone, particularly when mixed with conditional statements, and it is difficult to read and maintain the resulting code. LambdaJ uses functional programming techniques to address these issues while preserving the advantages of static typing in Java. Through a straightforward DSL, LambdaJ reduces code complexity when writing iterations over collections by allowing you to filter, convert, group, aggregate and sort items with no need to write a single explicit loop. Attend and learn: * When to leverage the LambdaJ library to have better control over language constructs involving loops; * How to eliminate unreadable loops in your code; * How to implement an internal DSL in Java through a smart use of proxy and reflection; * and more. Talk and Slides in English BIOGRAPHY --------- Mario Fusco joined the Java developers community during his studies at the University, and has been a Java enthusiast since. With a long track record of successful projects in several industries ranging from media companies to the financial sector, Mario masters all aspects of software design and development. A clear passion for collaborative software development has led Mario to share his efforts with several communities in mainstream open source software. Current interests include multi-threaded programming and distributed computing, performance optimization, the Scala programming language and functional programming. Mario is the lead developer of LambdaJ and Jamme open source projects, JUG Lugano community leader, and a keen speaker at Java conferences and seminars in Europe and the United States. Mario lives in Lugano, Switzerland, where he works as Head of IT development at Ex Machina. Please register online: <http://www.jugs.ch/html/events/2009/lambdaj.html?by=mailing%20of%20another%…>.
