Multi-Threading Design Patterns

This month's meeting will be TODAY, Tuesday Jan 21st from 7 to 9:30 PM. Our
meeting location for this month will be at the Wyndham Garden Hotel at the
corner of Hammond Drive and Barfield (link to directions at the bottom).
Seating will be limited this month due to other events happening at the
Wyndham so please arrive early. Keep in mind that the bar area before and
after the meeting is an excellent networking opportunity. And if you know of
any open Java development positions please send those to us for broadcasting
at the meeting!

Description:
Java has powerful facilities to manage multi-treading. This power makes it
easy to write programs that perform simultaneous tasks.

This presentation will be on how to design classes to do more than one thing
at a time and at the right time without interfering with each other. The
presentation will be organized as a set of design patterns for controlling
threads using Java thread-management facilities.

Announcements:
Based upon our recent survey results, our priorities in 2003 are design
patterns, web services, J2EE, JDO (O/R), Jakarta & anything open source,
