JavaScript at JavaOne 
March 15th, 2007
Dave’s giving his first JavaOne talk this year and we’re stoked! There’s no page on the Sun site that I could easily link to so I just put it all below here:

| Session ID: | TS-9624 |
| Session Title: | Practical Parallels: From Development on the Java Platform to Development with the JavaScript Programming Language |
| Session Abstract: | This presentation touches on several key areas of JavaScript technology and Ajax development that are also important topics for Java EE. With greater emphasis placed on rich, Ajax-enabled web applications, enterprise developers are having to learn new ways of testing, debugging, and documenting them. Attendees gain familiarity with some powerful new JavaScript technology development tools-including JSDoc, Selenium, and Venkman-and will understand how they can be put to use in enterprise application development.The session begins with a look at how test-driven development applies to JavaScript technology and how Selenium can be used to easily create automated tests of user interface components. Next it takes the audience through an in-depth debugging tutorial with Venkman for Mozilla, including use of the Call stack, using watches and breakpoints, and how to inspect variables and the DOM.
Finally, the session demonstrates how JSDoc can be used to easily produce JavaDoc tool-like API documentation using a simple code-comment syntax. The presentation includes a live demonstration of writing and generating some very basic documentation, highlighting some key use cases such as public and private accessors, inheritance, and switches. The speaker is an author of “Enterprise AJAX,�? from Prentice Hall, and CTO of Nitobi, a Vancouver, BC-based vendor of an enterprise-class framework and toolset. He specializes in designing and building high-performance Ajax components and applications for a host of Fortune 500 clients. He has also written for numerous journals and magazines, including JavaWorld.com and XML.com. |

We’ll be going for beers right after so track us down! We’ll both be in town for couple days around the event if you want to hook up.
I might help him out a bit, but this is definitely Dave’s area of expertise. I had the honour of being on the JavaOne selection committee this year for the tools and languages track, which was very interesting and challenging! I’ll write more about this later.
