j1-2k8-pre02: Community Leaders Weekend: Purpose of java.net
In a candid discussion from the java.net Community Leaders Weekend 2008, a group of community leaders and infrastructure team members take a "big picture" look at the purpose and goals of java.net. May. 5, 2008

j1-2k8-pre01: Best of Community Corner 2007
Once again, java.net will be hosting a series of 20-minute mini-talks in its JavaOne booth (Pavilion booth #101). In this introductory podcast of the 2008 series, java.net editor Chris Adamson previews this year's talk and takes a look back with excerpts from five of 2007's best mini-talks. May. 2, 2008

j1-2k7-mtH02: Interview with Brian Behlendorf
In an interview from the JavaOne 2007 java.net Community Corner, java.net editor Chris Adamson interviews Brian Behlendorf about his early involvement with the Apache project, the creation and development of the Apache Foundation and CollabNet, his perspectives on the open-source community, and what his next big project could be. Jul. 4, 2007

j1-2k7-mtT14: Keaton: Calling QTKit from Java
Want to play audio, video, or multimedia in a Java application? QuickTime for Java opened the door to Apple's extensive QuickTime library, but times are changing and QTJ seems headed for deprecation. In fact, Apple is pushing Mac developers away from the old procedural-C QuickTime API altogether. In its place is a new object-oriented, Cocoa-aligned framework called QTKit. Great for Objective-C programmers, but what about the Java crowd? The Keaton project, something of a successor to Lloyd, will create a one-to-one mapping of Java objects to Obj-C objects, so you can work with QTMovies and QTMovieViews directly in Java code. Come see this talk to see how it works and how you can use it in your Mac Java application. May. 31, 2007

j1-2k7-mtT09: Teaching Java: from High School Student to Professional Developer
It goes without saying that programming is the key skill for software development professionals. It is also, traditionally, very hard to teach and learn. This talk by Ian Utting will introduce a set of free tools designed to introduce students to OO programming via Java in High Schools (Greenfoot), at the start of the University careers (BlueJ), and as they progress towards using full-scale professional IDEs (NetBeans/BlueJ Edition). May. 8, 2007

j1-2k7-mtW01: Music Programming with Java (for dummies)
In this session, you'll learn about a project that brings music composition down to the absolute 'dummy' music programmer. Basically, the project, which is open sourced on dev.java.net, provides a visual designer on top of the JFugue API, which is a simplified MIDI API. Come see how simple it can be to compose music and, if you like, join the project and extend the designer. May. 8, 2007

JavaOne 2007 Community Corner Podcasts: Project Darkstar Interview
Project Darkstar is a collection of technologies around providing high-performance, high-uptime, low-latency servers for massively-multiplayer online games and other applications. A Darkstar Community has recently been approved for java.net and in this interview, Darkstar founder Jeff Kesselman talks with java.net editor Chris Adamson about the project, what it does, and what people are doing with it. May. 7, 2007

java.net Success Story: OpenSymphony
OpenSymphony is a collection of projects that share common goals: good design, real-world applicability, and loose coupling. The coupling is so loose, in fact, that many developers don't even realize that subprojects like SiteMesh and OSCache share a common parent. This java.net success story looks at the project's history and accomplishments, based on an interview with project leaders Hani Suleiman and Patrick Lightbody. Feb. 25, 2005

java.net Success Story: JOGL
High-performance 2D and 3D graphics are available to Java programmers thanks to JOGL, a java.net project that exposes the industry-leading OpenGL graphics API to Java. This java.net success story looks at how the project came together and how it's paying off for games and other Java applications. Oct. 15, 2004

Jumping into JOGL
This article will help you get up and running with JOGL, the Java bindings to Open GL. You'll configure your environment and compile and run a set of 2D graphics calls. Sep. 11, 2003
