6:00 PM JavaFX through the Java looking glass by Eric Wendelin
JavaFX is the next step in the JVM's evolution in the RIA space. Its integration with Java coupled with its ability to deploy on a wide array of devices give Java developers enormous power.
Eric will show Java developers how to get started with JavaFX and use its new language features to build rich, cross-platform applications.

7:30 Database Refactoring With Liquibase
You're good at building applications, and you impress DBAs with your relational database designs. Your schemas are flexible, expressive, and performant—but not even you get it right on launch day. If you don't have a way to manage changes to your database, it will soon become mummified, cursing your application with declining performance and ugly hacks for the rest of its life.
About Tim Berglund
Tim Berglund runs the August Technology Group, a software consulting firm which provides training and development services to customers building web applications on the JVM. With his keen sense of timing, Tim spent his early career writing firmware, then switched to the Internet just as soon as the dotcom boom was coming to an end. He loves open-source software and the rapidly diversifying world of the Java platform. He has been writing software since he was a boy, but only started brewing his own beer a few years ago. He lives in Littleton with his wife and three children who, despite being the homeschooled children of a programmer father, don't write as much code as you might think.
