Triangle Java Users Group Presents:

Introduction to Jython

presented by Frank Wierzbicki

*Monday, July 21, 2008 *
*6:30 PM - 9:00 PM*
<http://www.nortelnetworks.com>
4001 E. Chapel Hill-Nelson Highway
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

Abstract:
The purpose of this talk is to introduce Jython, and show off some 
interesting ways that Jython can be put to use. Python frameworks, 
interesting integration with Java frameworks, and introspection of Java 
will be demoed.

The target audience is Java developers who wish to learn more about 
using Jython for various tasks such as using Jython for exploration and 
integration with existing Java code, using a mix of Java frameworks and 
Python frameworks, etc.

Potential topics to be covered (I say potential because I may find more 
interesting things to demo by the time of the talk -- I feel like I 
over-specified my JavaOne talk...)

Django on Glassfish. Possibly with JMX integration? (So we can observe 
transactions, other mgmt stats, from a standard JMX console.) Outline 
how Django will be deployed going forward.

Help System in Jython including integration with Javadoc.

Integration with Java demo with Swing and cool Java graphics libraries 
like Alice (https://alice.dev.java.net/) Mapping recursive generators to 
the Java 7 Fork-Join framework (something another Jython committer, Jim 
Baker, is working on)

About the Speaker:
Frank Wierzbicki is the Jython Project Lead. He is employed by Sun 
Microsystems where he works on Jython full-time. He has been a Java and 
a Python developer about a decade. Frank has a B.S. in Biochemistry from 
Old Dominion University and an All-But-Dissertation in Neuroscience from 
Baylor College of Medicine.
