Spring Roo and 2011 Planning Meeting
Wednesday August 25th, 2010
6:00 - 9:00 PM
Come and learn about Spring Roo, the new and exciting Java code generation framework! Our presenter this month is Ryan Stewart, who is driving in all the way from San Antonio for the day to present at our meeting.
We'll also be having a planning meeting for the 2011 calendar year once Ryan's presentation is over. If you'd like to help decide what goes into the calendar for next year, this will be a great opportunity to provide input.
A big thank you to Whitaker IT for sponsoring our meeting and PROS Pricing for providing meeting space!
Speaker: Ryan Stewart
I grew up tinkering with a Commodore 64. My first programming job was developing Java webapps in the Air Force, where I also got my degree in Computer Science. I was waiting in line for pilot training at Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, when I decided I couldn't just leave computers behind, so I got out and landed a job at Rackspace, where I'm developing RESTful web services aimed at providing server and web monitoring to all customers via a uniform interface.

Company Overview
WhitakerIT is a National IT staffing firm that specializes in providing project support, staff augmentation and direct hire services for today's highest-demand IT markets: ERP, CRM, Custom Applications and Infrastructure.
Since 1993, we have become specialists in Oracle, Peoplesoft and SAP recruiting and placement. We have synthesized a unique and successful methodology that is working for our clients and candidates alike.
- By focusing on a narrow segment of the market, we effectively recruit ahead of our clients' requirements, identifying the experts rather than simply the unemployed. Our first question is not "Who's available?" but "Who's the best?"
- We focus on the high-end, high-demand markets for ERP, CRM and Custom applications.
- Far beyond simply matching clients and candidates, we immerse ourselves in their market to become intimately familiar with their technology and its most talented practitioners.
- Unlike traditional staff augmentation, we leverage extensive search methodologies normally employed in a permanent placement search and apply them to the contract marketplace.
