The Java Collections Framework is indispensable to nearly every Java developer. Yet, you may often find yourself searching for a collection type, implementation, or utility that's nowhere to be found. In this session, you'll learn how the open-source Google Collections Library builds on the excellent foundation of java.util, to provide more of the building blocks you need to do your job. You'll see many examples of how your code can become simpler, safer, more flexible, and more powerful by adopting classes like ReferenceMap, Multimap, our immutable collections and many others.
During the networking hour, we invite our members that develop applications using Google Technology to do brief demos of 5 minutes or less. Please contact Van Riper to indicate your interest to demo your stuff. Time permitting, we will include as many demos as possible before the main event.
Although this is a free event, we will be limiting attendance to a maximum of 200 attendees. For last minute updates on this event, please refer to the main meeting announcement on the Silicon Valley GTUG site.
Kevin Bourrillion is the lead engineer for Google's core Java libraries, more of which will be open-sourced in the future. He is a primary author of the Google Collections Library, and of Google's Java dependency injection framework, Guice. He came to Google in 2004 after seven years of fighting for life at a string of Hot Silicon Valley Start-Ups.
We would like to thank Google for providing the venue and the refreshments for this meeting. In particular, we would like to thank Stephanie Liu for serving as our primary meeting support contact at Google.
Please join our Google Group in order to get announcements of future events.
