Clinton will be presenting iBATIS of course, but this time he promises to sex it up with a bit of ...what else but... Ajax. As it turns out, iBATIS is a killer Ajax back end. Of course there will be lots about iBATIS in general and depending on the experience of the audience, we may even talk a bit about iBATIS 3. In addition to these, Clinton will also be presenting on Agile methodologies and a good ol' Java vs. Ruby monkey fight. :-) Visit the No Fluff Just Stuff homepage for more information.
A wise man once said: "PowerPoint is the worst thing ever to happen to
public speaking." So, in this session, Clinton will use only a Java
IDE and real-world examples to demonstrate how iBATIS is used to create
an effective persistence layer for your application. He will risk life
and limb (or at least his reputation) coding before an audience, to build
the back end of a simple Java application using a Test Driven approach.
No code snippets here, the persistence layer will be coded from scratch --
with no safety net! Clinton will also be presenting the
Bottom 10 Reasons Agile Teams Fail.

Clinton will discuss Dealing with Enterprise Database Challenges In Object Oriented Applications.
This presentation will focus on database challenges that object oriented developers often face in an
enterprise environment. Object Relational Mapping (ORM) tools are not ideal for all databases, and
therefore alternatives must be sought. In this discussion, we'll focus on using the iBATIS Data Mapper
to achieve similar advantages as provided by an ORM tool, but without some of the complications that
can arise from an object relational mapping approach. The iBATIS Data Mapping framework is a popular
alternative to ORM tools, while being a complementary addition to any architecture.

Unfortunately I can't attend this conference as I had planned. But you should go anyway! ;-) Super high concentration
of talent. I will be at the Denver show though.

Antony Joseph will be presenting 'Java persistence using iBATIS' at the Detroit
Java User Group meeting. The meeting is free and open to the public.
See http://www.detroitjug.org for more details.
Fabrizio Gianneschi will present iBATIS. The full description of the event is available here:

The Java User Group Sardegna (http://www.jugsardegna.org) will hold a seminar about some of the technologies available nowadays in Java to handle the problem of the persistence. Hosted at University of Cagliari, the event will cover a range of topics like Serialization, JDBC, XML/XMI, iBATIS, JDO, Hibernate and the Eclipse Modeling Framework.
Ted Husted (Struts in Action), Rod Johnson (Spring Framework), Marc Canter (Macromedia blogs.it), Howard Lewis Ship (Tapestry/HiveMind), Matt Raible (Displaytag/StrutsMenu), Clinton Begin (iBatis SQL Maps), Vic Cekvenich (basicPortal).
Object Relational Mapping (ORM) is often perceived as a "silver bullet" of software development. It can save us time, code and even improve performance. Indeed, fantastic tools like Hibernate and TopLink can do the job very well. However, like any other tool or framework there are limitations. Sometimes an ORM just won't work, or is simply not the best solution. SQL Mapping offers a different approach to solving the challenges we face when integrating Relational Data with Objects. SQL Mapping can offer an elegant solution even when dealing with especially difficult data models or object models that are beyond our control. An SQL Mapping framework can also provide much of the same benefits offered by ORM tools, such as improved performance, cleaner APIs and reduced code.
Come hear the real story behind the Pet Store comparisons at Developer Days in Edmonton (Dec 10th) and Calgary (Dec 11th). Clinton will take the marketing out of the Pet Store implementations and show why Java is right choice for serious enterprise development. Online registration is now available at Sun's web site.
