Our merry group of java developers meet in Tucson on the 2nd Tuesday monthly from 6:30-8:30PM. We mingle and do introductions, then at 7PM we have one or two presentation topics - mini (15-20 min), main (45-60 min). The subject matter varies but always provides for interesting discussion at the meetings and on our active mailing list.

- Git-together
- In short, what we have in mind is a jam session to explore Git. What is Git? It's what you should be using instead of CVS or SVN (according to Linus Torvalds). We'll start with a code base that is simple and then cut loose individuals and groups to make changes of various sorts, and use Git to incorporate (or not) the work of others.
- We'll have several laptops available, and you're welcome to bring yours, too. You can join in the fun, or just watch the action, or do little of both.
- If you want to learn a little more about Git before we Git-together, here are some places to start:

Topic Ideas
- I've got an IntelliJ license. Now what?
- A one-year IntelliJ license came with the 2008 NFJS registration. Maybe an IntelliJ fan could offer a quick start on IntelliJ for Eclipse users. Or maybe "10 ways IntelliJ beats Eclipse".
I'll be there: whm, trh, ajb, tam
- Beyond Ant & Maven
- A Look at other solutions
- Introducing Gradle (merely Gant+Ivy?)
I'll be there: trh
-
- Introducing Buildr - (What's Buildr?)
- Using Maven with a DVCS like (Git|Mercurial|Bazaar)
- Using static analysis in your build process: FindBugs, PMD/CPD, etc
- Unit Testing in Groovy
- Distributed Version Control Systems
- Is Mercurial really the James Bond of SCM?
- What caused Canonical to pick Bazaar over Git?
- Database migration with dbDeploy http://dbdeploy.com/
- JRuby
- Another Shoot-out? Like the Script Language Shoot-out 2006
- Rich Internet Application Shoot-out?
I'll be there: ajb
- Web Framework Shoot-out?
I'll be there: ajb
- Tom Hicks volunteered to present in the future on "something interesting"
- Hey, I'm flattered Bill but this entry has been here for over a year....I HAVE done something
(interesting or not) since then. Not to say that I wouldn't be willing to do something else but
it will have to be after the next couple months. --trh
I'll be there: whm
- Code Camp Discussion - group learning via hands-on coding?
- Favorite small tools - four or five 10-15 minute presentations on small, lean,
mean developer tools that you would recommend to colleagues.
