ABSTRACT

Java 1.5 (the Tiger release) introduces a number of new features of
varying importance, which will all influence the way we program.
Generic collections have received the most publicity, but the effect
of others will be just as far-reaching. The metadata facilities will
remove much of the burden from boilerplate code, providing inside the
language some of the code generating abilities offered by IDEs and
pre-processors. Neater for-loops save repetitive coding, while the
auto-boxing borrowed from C# removes much of the pain of using
primitive types in an OO language. I'll introduce all these features,
and explore some of the ways they can be used to make software more
robust, and life easier for developers.

SPEAKER

Benedict Heal is an independent trainer and consultant, specialising
in Java and precise software modelling techniques such as Catalysis.
He used to lecture in the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and is
still a registered guide to the city.
