Pratik Patel
CTO TripLingo & Code Hacker
Pratik Patel is the CTO of Atlanta based TripLingo (http://www.triplingo.com/). He wrote the first book on 'enterprise Java' in 1996, "Java Database Programming with JDBC." He has also spoken at various conferences and participates in several local tech groups and startup groups. He's in the startup world now and hacks iOS, Android, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Rails, and ..... well everything except Perl.
Pratik's specialty is in large-scale applications for mission-critical and mobile applications use. He has designed and built applications in the retail, health care, financial services, and telecoms sectors.

Presentations
Virtualization for development
We've all heard about virtualization for deploying applications. How about leveraging virtualization for development? In this session, we'll look at some time saving tips and build a virtual VM for development and testing.
Developer can make creative use of virtualization software like VMWare for development. In this session, we'll discuss how to create a virtual development environment and the benefits of doing so. We'll also look at several great ways to use virtualization for other development and testing tasks. Driven by demos and live usage of virtualization, the attendee will gain insight into virtualization and how it can be applied to make development tasks easier.
Easy mobile development (IPhone, Android, Palm Pre, Blackberry) without native code
So you have a great idea for an IPhone app, you've tried learning Objective-C, but it's just too hard. What about those other new platforms like Palm Pre and Android? Who wants to write the same app three times? Four times if you count Blackberry! Fear not, there is a much easier way for you to develop on the IPhone. Using a development style called "hybrid mobile applications" you can write apps for IPhone and other platforms using stuff you already know: HTML, CSS and Javascript. In this course, we'll go over the basics for hybrid development
This course outlines the basics of hybrid development. We'll cover the pro's and con's of this approach over writing native code for each specific mobile phone platform. Then we'll build an app and deploy it to an IPhone, all in the course of 90 mins - using simple technologies you already know: HTML, CSS, Javascript and JQuery. This isn't a webapp per se - it looks and feels and deploys just like a native app. You publish it to the App Store and people have to download & install it just like any other app.

Java Database Programming with JDBC by Pratik Patel and Karl Moss is an updated edition of the authors' guide to the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) standard for database programming under Java. While the original edition was perhaps geared more to those developers who needed to write their own JDBC database drivers, a fairly arduous task, this new edition provides more background information on database connectivity issues in Java and so will be even more useful to the casual or intermediate programmer. After a general introduction to JDBC and Structured Query Language (SQL), useful even to beginning programmers, the authors start by building a simple database-aware applet. New chapters on "servlets," Java components that run on the server-side and manage database operations, as well as a general discussion of middleware technologies are particularly good. Database access for JavaBean components (from Sun Microsystems JDK 1.1) is also discussed, including working code for two database-aware beans. This book also includes a quick introduction to the Java language (which will only be helpful if you already know C/C++), a detailed reference for the JDBC API, and a working example of a text-based JDBC driver. Though this book is still oriented toward the JDBC driver developer, the authors now provide enough general discussion of JDBC architectural issues to make it worthwhile to any programmer who needs to ramp up on what JDBC is and what capabilities it offers.
