Kawa at JavaOne

[Per Bothner <per@bothner.com>]

In case anyone is going to JavaOne this year, I'll be giving a
presentation on Monday:

[CON2111]  Writing a 3-D Multiplayer Game with Kawa and JMonkeyEngine
   Developing a modern network game is very expensive. Performance is
   important, so people don’t normally think of using Java, let alone a
   more dynamic language. Fabric is a game that was developed by one
   person with JMonkeyEngine and the Kawa language. It is an immersive
   3-D multiplayer role-playing game with distinctive
   features. JMonkeyEngine is a pure Java scene-graph-based game
   engine. Kawa is a mature Scheme-based language with good Java
   integration and high performance. All Fabric-specific code is in
   Kawa. This session demonstrates unique Fabric features made possible
   by Kawa and JMonkeyEngine and touches on Kawa’s advantages and
   limitations compared to alternatives, especially Clojure and ABCL.

Monday 5:30pm-6:30pm Holiday Inn Golden Gate 6/7/8

I wouldn't object if you encourage your friends and co-workers to go :-)

My "virtual" co-presenter is mikel evins, author of the Fabric game,
which I'll be using for examples and demos.

I'll be around much of Monday through Wednesday (haven't decided
whether to go on Thursday).  One of the perks of *not* working for
Oracle is (unless I'm mistaken) that I get to go to the Treasure Island
event (for the first time); it would be nice to have some company
on the bus and at the event.
