  • Episode 15. Java Swing and Performance. It's not slow!

    Taking the performance theme, we move into the dark corners of Java Swing and discover that it is not a lame horse at all! Swing is very fast (with support for directX and OpenGL!), but sometimes is hard to get it to perform right. In this podcast we talk about how to make sure of respecting the EDT, offloading from the EDT, we explain how the EventQueue works, and show THE technique for fast GUI performance. If you know what Swing is, tune in! We will dispell Swing's performance myths!

  • Episode 14. Optimizing for Performance - The tools

    In the second part of optimization, we talk about the tools (or more properly algorithms) that you can use to optimize a piece of code. Ever wonder how to make a piece of code faster? or difference between caching and Divide-and-Conquer? then tune in! You'll become the McGyver of code optimization.

  • Episode 13. Optimizing for Performance

    We all love speed, code speed that is! In this podcast we delve into code optimizations, and what does it mean to optimize for speed. We go over what is the mind-state that you need as you optimize code and offer sneaky shortcuts that allows 10-fold improvement with very little code change (Caching, or pregenerating, or timed-updates). More importantly we go over the process on defining when you have "arrived" at a good optimization point, and hopefully help you optimize what is really important (measuring for performance). If you need to scale up/out and around, listen to this episode!

    If you feel you would like to share your optimization experience, go to https://groups.google.com/group/javapubhouse, and post!

  • Episode 11. New Year's Resolution: Object Thread Safety! + Listener feedback, and the birth of a Google Group!

    In this podcast we air our first question/feedback from our listener and dive a little into it (related to Dependency Injection). We also talk about how to create Thread Safe objects (There is the easy way, and the hard way). And at last! we have a Google group where you can add/post comments and open discussions.

This podcast talks about how to program in Java; not your tipical system.out.println("Hello world"), but more like real issues, such as O/R setups, threading, getting certain components on the screen…
