OO Programming Newsletter #15 from Bruce Eckel

PLEASE NOTE: I AM CHANGING TO A NEW SYSTEM WHICH MAY CAUSE SERVER DISRUPTIONS. 
I HAVE INCLUDED ALL URLs WITH THE IP ADDRESS OF THE NEW SERVER.

* Summer seminar schedule

* Summer seminar schedule

The new summer seminar schedule is finished, and includes a new class on 
Python. Also, there's only one "Hands-On Java" seminar scheduled (this is 
completely updated to reflect the 2nd edition of the book) so don't delay if 
you're interested.

* New "Objects & Patterns" Workshop added

The "Objects & Patterns" Workshop in June sold out so we've added a second 
one, August 28 - Sept 1. It's popular so you should sign up early.

* Marco Cantu on OOP programming with Delphi

I am hosting the legendary author of the "Mastering Delphi" books for a 
two-day intensive seminar right after the Borland Conference in San Diego 
(July 13-14) (it's not an official part of the conference so anyone may 
attend). This intermediate seminar focuses on OO design and programming 
idioms. Marco is one of the smartest people I know, and a great speaker. See

* TIJ2 Book signing at Java One

I will be signing "Thinking in Java, 2nd edition" at Java One on Tuesday, June 
6, noon at the conference bookstore. This will actually be the first 
appearance of the book; it will appear at bookstores later that month. 

= = = = = = = = = = = = 
* Unit Testing in "Thinking in Patterns"

Although I am still not soliciting comments, "Thinking in Patterns" has had 
significant updates and improvements. In particular, I've added my own "unit 
testing" framework, which I think is significantly simpler to understand and 
use than JUnit. The current version is in HTML with all benefits that I've put 
into the HTML forms of the other books.

* No TIJ2 solutions manual yet

Yes, the book lies. The solution manual for TIJ2 is not "available for a small 
fee." I will at least put up a page explaining that I haven't started work on 
it yet :-(
