On Monday 19th November 2012, in the evening, I interviewed for the final episode of the <\/span>Nighthacking<\/strong><\/a> tour by\u00a0<\/span>Stephen Chin<\/strong>, who is an Oracle Evangelist for Java, Chairperson of the JavaOne Program committee, and also a Java Champion a.k.a <\/span>@steveonjava<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We talked about ScalaFX<\/strong><\/a> the open source Domain Specific Language and Scala library framework for JavaFX 2.x. I showed off my version of the JavaOne 2011 demo in Scala. It is called VideoCubeDemo.scala<\/strong><\/a>. We actually started to fix a bug in the demo. We checked into version control a quick fix that helped and pushed that to Mercurial.<\/p>\n

I also talked about my upcoming reference book for JavaEE 7<\/strong>, which will be published by Packt<\/strong><\/a>. I demonstrated some of the example Context Dependency & Injection code that will feature in the book. I showed off JBoss Weld<\/strong>,\u00a0DeltaSpike<\/strong> and Arquillian<\/strong> framework. We discussed some of the other upcoming features of Java EE7 like JAX RS and WebSockets; and also how CDI could be used outside the container in a JavaFX application.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to SkillsMatter<\/strong><\/a> for hosting us, in particular Wendy Devolder<\/strong> and Nick Devolder<\/strong>; and extra special medal goes to Ami Partridge<\/strong> for being very helpful, staying late into the evening to help us get this live stream out to the public with wired ethernet cables, router boxes, WI-FI and tea.<\/p>\n
