The Nebraska Code Camp is a collaboration between the Lincoln .NET Users Group and the University of Nebraska Computer chapter of the Association for Computing Machines. Last year’s camp featured 48 sessions, and more than 350 people attended.
Neward works with a variety of clients ranging from Fortune 500 corporations to small 10-person shops. He is an authority in Java and .NET technologies, particularly in the areas of Java/.NET integration (both in-process and via integration tools like Web services), back-end enterprise software systems, and virtual machine/execution engine plumbing.
He is the author or co-author of several books, including “Effective Enterprise Java,” “C# In a Nutshell,” “SSCLI Essentials,” “Server-Based Java Programming,” and has contributed to several technology journals. He also is a Microsoft MVP Architect, BEA Technical Director, INETA speaker, former DevelopMentor instructor, frequent worldwide conference speaker, and a member of various Java JSRs.
Neward’s topic is “Rethinking Enterprise,” which will discuss the big, heavy, transactionally-oriented client/server topology and the era of the lightweight transactionally-oriented client/server topology.
The original Code Camp was a conglomeration of ideas by many different people across the development community. The idea was simple: provide an off-hour forum for the development community to speak and share ideas for them to come and enjoy. According to organizers, the results have been astounding. Code Camps have been held around the world by developers everywhere.
