******* Begin SVJUG Annoucement **********
Meeting….: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)
Time…….: March 20,2007 (THIRD TUESDAY of each month)
Cost…….: Always FREE to all!
Topic……: Closures for JavaSpeaker….: Neal Gafter, Google Inc (http://www.google.com)
Description:We propose to add Closures to the Java Programming Language. Closures simplify the use of APIs that rely on the use of anonymous class instances, such as the concurrency APIs and callbacks. More importantly, closures support control abstractions, which are APIs that act as programmer-defined control constructs. This talk describes the proposed language extension and its design rationale, and shows how it will affect existing and future APIs
Speaker Bio:Neal Gafter is a software engineer and Java evangelist at Google. He was previously a senior staff engineer at Sun Microsystems, where he co-designed and implemented the Java language features in releases 1.4 through 5.0. Neal is coauthor of “Java Puzzlers: Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases” (Addison Wesley, 2005). He was a member of the C++ Standards Committee and led the development of C and C++ compilers at Sun Microsystems, Microtec Research, and Texas Instruments. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Rochester.
