Winning at JavaOne with Real-Time

editor — Mon, 22 May 2006 01:48:27 +0000

At JavaOne 2006, one challenge to attendees was to write real-time code using Java RTS to control the cars movement around 200 feet of slot car race track embedded with 200 sensors. By detecting whether or not the car was over a sensor, monitoring the slot car’s position on the track while applying proper voltage to the track, controlling the car’s speed, contestants raced their cars around the track, hoping for the fastest time. The second place winners were a team of German high school students Michael, David, Georg, and Anna who managed to post a time of 27.27 seconds. PodTech’s Catherine Giradeau spoke with them after they were introduced on stage by Dr. Greg Bollella Senior Staff Engineer Real-Time Java for Sun Microsystems.

IBM Eclipse Team Focuses Talk on Process, Not Content

editor — Mon, 22 May 2006 01:33:34 +0000

There’s been a lot of talk about method and tools at the JavaOne developers conference presentations so far, but very little about process. How does a successful development team actually get the job done? Managing workflow was the topic of “Java in the Trenches”, a talk by IBM Rational Software engineers Erich Gamma and John Wiegand. They’re part of IBM’s Eclipse development team, an international team that makes globally-distributed software. During their step-by-step presentation, Erich Gamma said, “If you take anything from this talk, it’s iterate, right?”
