For instance, there is on Monday, <a title=\"  INTRO TO IOS6 FOR JAVA DEVELOPERS  \" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Intro+to+iOS6+for+Java+Developers\"><em>An Introduction to iOS 6 for Java developers<\/em><\/a>, by Michael Seqhers. I know how to program with Android since Summer 2011, but I for <strong>iOS<\/strong> and <strong>Objective C<\/strong>, I haven&#8217;t the faintest idea, and I think this could be nice start; especially now that I already invested this Summer in a new <a title=\" MacBook Pro w\/ Retina display 15&quot;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/uk\/macbook-pro\/specs-retina\/\">Apple MacBook Pro <\/a>machine.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, there is an <a title=\"SCALA ADVANCED CONCEPTS AND BEST PRACTICES\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Scala+advanced+concepts+and+best+practices\">Advanced Scala talk on concepts and best practices<\/a> by <strong>Bill Venners<\/strong> and <strong>Dick Wall<\/strong> on offer. This should tie me up for the University days, and not forgetting the <a title=\"  JAVAFX BOOTSTRAP \" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/JavaFX+Bootstrap\">JavaFX Bootstrap<\/a> talk with <strong>Jim Weaver<\/strong> and <strong>Gerrit Grundwald<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The conference really starts on Wednesday through until the last half day on Friday, and there are literal lots of interesting talks depending on your personal choice. I have marked a few that I would like to attend in person.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Joe Darcy<\/strong> has a <a title=\"ON THE ROAD TO JDK 8: LAMBDA, PARALLEL LIBRARIES, AND MORE\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/On+the+road+to+JDK+8++Lambda%2C+parallel+libraries%2C+and+more\"><em>Road to JDK 8: Lambda<\/em><\/a> talk; now that Lamba functions will be showcase in the next Java Development Kit release in 2013, version 8.<\/li>\n<li><strong>David Blevins<\/strong> has a <em><a title=\"JAVA EE 7, INFINITE EXTENSIBILITY MEETS INFINITE REUSE\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Java+EE+7%2C+Infinite+Extensibility+meets+Infinite+Reuse\">Java EE 7<\/a><\/em> talk on Context and Dependency Injection, Bean Validation and JAX-RS.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jerome Dochez<\/strong> and <strong>Nicolas Behrens<\/strong> has an <a title=\"EFFECTIVE DEPENDENCY INJECTION\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Effective+Dependency+Injection\"><em>Effective Dependency Injection<\/em><\/a> talk on CDI.<\/li>\n<li>The JavaPosse of <strong>Dick Wall<\/strong>, <strong>Carl Quinn<\/strong> and <strong>Tor Norbye<\/strong> have a now annual live podcast, <em><a title=\"JAVAPOSSE LIVE\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/JavaPosse+LIVE\">Javaposse Episode 400 at Devoxx<\/a><\/em>. I will be there, definitely.<\/li>\n<li>I am very tempted to visit <strong>Jonas Boner<\/strong>&#8216;s <a title=\"UP UP AND OUT: SCALING SOFTWARE WITH AKKA\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Up+up+and+Out++Scaling+software+with+Akka\"><em>Akka<\/em><\/a> talk (again), especially since Akka actors are going to part of Scala 2.10 as recently confirmed by Martin Odersky.<\/li>\n<li>What is this alternative JavaScript language called <strong>Dart<\/strong> about? It is off the beaten track for my usual conference interests, yet I feel <strong>Seth Ladd&#8217;<\/strong>s talk on the <em><a title=\"  PUTTING THE APP BACK INTO WEB APPS : BUILDING THE MODERN WEB WITH DART  \" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Putting+the+App+back+into+Web+Apps+++Building+the+modern+web+with+Dart\">Dart Programming Language for Web Applications<\/a>,<\/em> may be worthy of educational investment.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jasper Potts<\/strong> and <strong>Richard Bair<\/strong> are reprising their JavaOne JavaFX talk for Devoxx, <a title=\"BUILDING AMAZING APPLICATIONS WITH JAVAFX\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Building+Amazing+Applications+with+JavaFX\"><em>Building Amazing Applications<\/em><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adam Bien<\/strong>, the illustrious Java enterprise consultant of note, has a talk on <a title=\"REAL WORLD JAVA EE\" href=\"https:\/\/devoxx.com\/display\/DV12\/Real+World+Java+EE\"><em>Real World Java EE<\/em><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also many other events, like birds-of-feathers, hands-on-labs and tutorials.
