Zero Turnaround for Java Development
Zero turnaround, the ability to immediately see the results of code changes, is a topic of growing interest and importance in the Java community. First and foremost, it's a productivity issue, in that engineers not waiting for a compile and class load can spend more time coding. It helps an engineer maintain a train of thought to try a new construct and immediately test it in working code. In this podcast, JavaRebel development lead Jevgeni Kabanov discusses the value of zero turnaround to both development and production systems, and how JavaRebel helps achieve this goal.

Stephen Maryka, Chief Technical Officer at ICEsoft
This Tech Talk provides an overview of the ICEfaces framework, which is designed to add AJAX to JSF based on a technology called Direct-to-DOM
Rendering. This approach allows a web application to be rendered entirely on the server side. The browser essentially acts as a remote control
to a server-side rendering of the DOM - making the AJAX capabilities transparent to the developer. Developers can work in a pure JSF programming
model, have no exposure to JavaScript development or any of the low-level intricacies of AJAX and still get the full rich web capability.
