From radlickk at gr-jug.org Wed Jan 4 12:56:33 2006 From: radlickk at gr-jug.org (Ken Radlick) Date: Wed Jan 4 12:30:01 2006 Subject: [GR-Jug] Welcome to a new year at GR-JUG Message-ID: <43BC0C51.2070800@gr-jug.org> Hello again and Happy (belated) New Year. I hope that your New Year is off to good start. Personally I think this will be a big year for me and I hope that the GR-JUG and all of it's members are a part of this. One resolution that I actually started last year that I plan to keep up in 2006 is updating the GR-JUG homepage with current information including the next meeting topic, date, time and location. In addition, it will be the place to keep track of upcoming meeting topics. My goal is to keep four (4) months of upcoming topics. This is being done by adding a new topic at each meeting but if you can't make the meeting drop me a line or post a topic suggestion to the mailing list (especially if you are willing to present this topic). In case it's been a while since you were at our page on the web it is at http://gr-jug.org and it doesn't look flashy but I hoping to ensure that it has current information. As always your thoughts/ideas and your help to make the GR-JUG better are always appreciated. Looking forward to seeing everyone in January (if you need to know when the meeting is go to http://gr-jug.org) Ken -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At our last meeting, Jeremy shared JSF and what I thought was a pretty cool tool for creating JSF based apps. With the Superbowl coming up which is being hosted in our great state, I thought we could get in the spirit of the event and also recognize one of our members who has done much to further our knowledge. I would like to present the GR-JUG MVP (most valuable programmer) for 2005/2006 to Jeremy G. Jeremy has presented twice in past three months and is on the schedule for two more presentations in the next four months. On behalf of myself and GR-JUG we would like to say thank you for being willing to share new or old knowledge with us. Our next meeting is February 16 where Carlus will be sharing Appfuse which from what I've read can really jump start a development project. Below is the calendar for the next 4 months. If you have ideas for future presentations please send me an e-mail (radlickk@gr-jug.org).You do not have to be an expert on a topic to give a presentation. For one of my presentations, I read the Hibernate Developer's Notebook and based my presentation it.. Unfortunately I will not personally be at the next meeting (however Carlus said he will share his notes with me), so I will see all of you in March. Before then I encourage you to e-mail me (radlickk@gr-jug.org) and utilize our mailing list . Ken. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It is with sadness that I must tell you that I need to resign as the leader of the GR-JUG. Right now I have a several great challenges in my life and I do not feel that I have time to be able to lead the JUG. Right now I may not be able to attend the meetings either, which I something I won't be able to do tonight (3/16), but hopefully will be able to do at some point.

I'm pretty sure that North Hall 253 (at Calvin College) is open every night of the week starting as early as 4:30pm. And even if it is in use, we'll find some other room. Calvin has few evening classes. As for time and day, I would be more inclined to go if the meetings were earlier in the evening, and any night works fine for me. If Tuesday is appealing, I'd suggest avoiding the fourth Tuesday of the month since XP West Michigan meets that night. jdf -- * Jeremy D.

However, only 5 of them are actually digesting the messages. This may be the result that the jug mailing list is confusing. I did not know that I was not subscribed to the mailing list until recently. Maybe we need to post up a message on the yahoo group so that people will know how to get the mailing from the jug mailing list.....which brings me to the next concern. Why do we have two different mailing lists? We have one at yahoo and we have one at the http://gr-jug.org. I still receive emails from the yahoo group. It is actually the one that did the announcment that I was supposed to be speaking tonight. Not only that, but past coworkers have contacted me to tell me that they are looking forward to my presentation.....:) We should consolidate to using one tool. If anyone has any thoughts....any of the 5 Digesting members that is, please let me know Overall, let's get this thing moving and be one of the successful JUG's around. I have complete confidence in the group that we can pull this thing together. Thanks Carlus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

How long do you think it would take for you to make the necessary modifications? Ken, Will you please give Dave the necessary information in order to administer the mailmain portion of our server? Logins passwords and all of that good stuff. We still have a lot of people subscribed to the yahoo group. If we are going to move people over to the new gr-jug mailing list, we need to send out a message through the yahoo group to notify them that we will be eliminating the yahoo group and give them instructions on how to join the gr-jug group. Currently, no one has the ability to post messages to the yahoo group except for the moderator.....which I am assuming is you. Will you be able to draft a message posting of this nature? Please be sure to mention that they should change their profile to receive digests from the gr-jug mailing list. Also maybe it would be a good idea to send out an appointment to let them know that we will be closing down the yahoo group. This is to make sure that the people have a timeline of when to switch over to the gr-jug mailing list. Does this sound like an appropriate plan of action? If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know.

It requires little to no maintenance and there will be a limited number of support issues. It would be one less thing that we would be responsible for. I am sure that Dave is more than capable of administering Mailman, but what is going to happen when he graduates and starts to make his millions. He is not going to have time to administer mailman between spending all of his money and sharing it with me.... What's more, is that the yahoo group has bigger potential to grow. We could post pictures, files and all of that good stuff. It gives us a professional look and feel that we do not have to develop. There are just so many benefits to using it, that I am not seeing any drawbacks..... Please share your thoughts on this one.

Spamming is horrible. I have not had that experience with yahoo groups, and I am a member / moderator for a couple. Could it be that it was the way that the group settings were set? If it is based on the setting, then we can address the spamming issue. If it is not based on the setting, then maybe we should entertain the idea of Google Groups or something along those lines. Either way, if we decide to use yahoo, google, or mailman, we need to communicate to the group members. I know that there are many members who rely on the Yahoo Groups as their form of communication for the GRJUG. It was evident when I was told that they were looking forward to my presentation that I was scheduled to give yesterday. I am going to draft an email to let everyone know that we are aware of the confusion between the mailing lists and we are actively working on getting it resolved. What I don't know is how we should move forward in making the decisions about which group to use. I would like to suggest a quick poll. We will collect votes over the weekend, and make a decision by Monday which group mailing we are going to go with. The options are: Google - 0 Yahoo - 1 Mailman - 0 I do not even want to entertain the thought of spending money for this service at this point and time. (Ben, shame on you :) ) Thanks Carlus P.S. My vote is the one for Yahoo.

At one point, GRJUG did use the Yahoo groups. However, the GRJUG moved it's mailing to a site located at http://gr-jug.org If you would like to stay in the know, please visit this site and join the mailing list there. Digest Membership ================= One of the things that I noticed when I recently joined is that there are about 95 members of the group, yet there are only 5 digesting members. If you are not a digesting member then odds are you are not getting the emails that are sent to the gr-jug mailing list. For new members as well as old, please take the time to specify that you would like to receive digests from this mailing list to ensure that you will receive emails from the group. Thanks Carlus Yahoo!

Carlus, are you a digested member? No. Do you recieve emails? Yes. Digest refers to "Would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?" You may want to send out a correction email to the yahoo group again. -- Dave Brondsema Software Developer Cornerstone University -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

There are 97 members listed. Digest users only get one message per day (or ### messages). Everyone else gets all messages one at a time. That is one of the benefits of Mailman.

Send out a "Special Notice" Message to indicate that we are going to be dropping the Yahoo Group from the Grand Rapids Java User Group. 2.) Send out an appointment that indicates when this group will be dismantled. 3.) Determine who will administer the MailMan grjug group. Any other suggestions?

The age old question when is it appropriate to use Java and J2EE vs. PHP, Ruby, Python, or some other interpreted language? Being the vetran developer that I am (tongue in cheeck comment), I am wondering if it makes more sense to use one of the lighter languages for some of the problems that J2EE has been known to solve. There are some incredible time, cost, effort savings that come with a simpler technology. So let's begin... 1.) When is it more appropriate to use Java vs PHP? 2.) What projects have you chosen to use Java instead of PHP? PHP instead of Java? 3.) What were the determining factors that helped you with your decision? Please fill in PHP with your flavor of language (Ruby, Python, Perl....whatever have you). Carlus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Small to medium businesses could probably use PHP/Java/whatever for everything. Other factors: * Existing skillset within IT * The technology used for existing open source and commercial solutions That's just a quick brush at a complex question. Kyle _____ Kyle Adams | Java Developer | Gordon Food Service | 616-717-6162 From Matt.Carpenter at alticor.com Wed May 24 17:17:45 2006 From: Matt.Carpenter at alticor.com (Matt.Carpenter@alticor.com) Date: Wed May 24 15:45:45 2006 Subject: [GR-Jug] [J2EE or PHP] In-Reply-To: <447485300200000700136F30@mail2.gfs.com> Message-ID: The larger the company, the more technologies seem to be in play. Still, there is always a push to simplify and leverage existing skillsets. I would say that the PHP/Java split would be much more doable at a mid-sized company than a large one. That said, I would recommend using Java for the whole kit and cabootle, for large companies, since it gives you JSP's, Servlets, and simply a great deal of library manageability (hierarchical) and automated documentation. Different projects use different technologies, but within "project families", if you will, you're more likely to stick with one unless there is some compelling business reason to combine them. There are many other factors, many of which support this direction, but I have to leave. Have a great one.

I guess it doesn't really matter since you can run PHP on JEE, and it's faster too :) http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=38144 And since support for dynamic languages is being added to Java (http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=292), the need for these other languages becomes moot. Just look at what we already have available - Jython, JRuby, Beanshell, Groovy, etc. They give you the power of Java with the faster development time of these other languages. Hell, you can now (almost) run rails in JRuby (http://headius.blogspot.com/2006/05/and-they-said-jruby-was-dead.html, http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/?p=109). I will say that I like Groovy a lot. Normally if I needed a script to connect to a database and generate a plain text file I might use Perl, but Groovy does it in the same amount of code or less. And I personally think that Grails is going to give Rails a run for it's money.

I am very excited with the possibilities of running a dynamic typed / scripting language like PHP in the JEE environment. I am curious. I would like to hear more about why you think that Groovy is going to rival Ruby on Rails? or even PHP for that matter? Well, I am wondering if you think that the early adoption of Ruby is going to be a roadblock to the adoption of Groovy. Does anyone else have an opinion of Groovy and whether they like it or not? Is anyone using the new scripting languages professionally (PHP, Ruby, Groovy)?

The disclaimer is that I've never used Groovy, but many of the people I've talked to have expressed serious reservations about it. The feeling I got was that a bunch of people jumped on the bandwagon at the beginning, they implemented some whiz-bang features, but no one bothered creating a solid core. Consequently work slowed to a crawl as the whiz-bang aspect faded because no one wanted to take on the boring-but-necessary parts of creating a language. Does anyone know what the current state of the Groovy project is? Is there still a healthy amount of activity and progress towards a final 1.0? I know that Dave Brondsema did an evaluation of various scripting languages in the Java world awhile back, so I'd be curious to hear his perspective... One final word: I'm much more skeptical about running scripting languages inside the JVM. Problems: the overhead of the JVM (primarily memory), lagtime behind the "real" scripting language, minor deviations in functionality, etc. I see scripting in the JVM as a nice tool in the box for existing Java apps, but not as a replacement for the native scripting environments. If I'm writing a Rails app, it's going to be running in native Ruby served up via WebBrick or FastCGI. I don't want the headache of dealing with "well I found instructions for doing it this way, but JRuby hasn't implemented that yet [or: it works differently]." I have enough of that stuff running a Mac (both with PC and Linux software) :-) If I'm evaluating what language to use at the beginning of a project, I'm still going to lean towards scripting languages outside of the JVM for lighterweight work. The primary practical use of scripting within the JVM (as I see it) is in providing easy extension points for app functionality. Example: using Python scripting to extend the functionality of WinCVS.

My closest recollection to that was determining which scripting language to use within a
