Monthly NYC Java Meeting: Learn Java EE 6!

Title: Learn Java EE 6 in a NetBeans-driven session

Abstract:

The Java EE 6 platform allows you to write enterprise Java applications using much lesser code from its earlier versions. It breaks the “one size fits all” approach with Profiles and improves on the Java EE 5 developer productivity features. Several specifications like CDI, JSF 2, JAX-RS, JPA 2, and Servlets 3 make the platform more powerful. It also enables extensibility by embracing open source libraries and frameworks such that they are treated as first class citizens of the platform. NetBeans, Eclipse, and IntelliJ provide extensive tooling for Java EE 6. This slide-free session explain the key Java EE 6 concepts in a live coding sessions.
