When	Where	Title (click to see the slides)
07/28/09 08/25/09	IEEE Computer, PES, IAS, & Life Member NY Chapters	USL - Evolution since Apollo – Given in two parts (at Con Ed, Irving Place, NYC) so that the topic may be covered in more depth. USL represents a completely different paradigm for systems development, mathematically complete but simple to understand and without the Tower of Babel of languages that plague the industry today. The evolution of USL has gone full circle to its roots, demonstrating the amazing vision of its inventor, and in its current incarnation (001) it incorporates the best features of object and functional programming styles and elegantly supports both agile and spiral methodologies.
06/24/09	IEEE Computer and Communications Society - NJ Coast section	USL - Evolution since Apollo – an updated version of the 05/19/09 talk, given at the Middletown, NJ Library.
05/19/09	IEEE North NJ Computer Chapter	USL For Fun and Profit at the Morristown Library 7PM. From its beginnings at MIT Draper Lab., USL, and its companion Integrated Development Environment, 001, has evolved to be a formidable combination of the best of Object and Functional programming, and continues to be the way to build error free systems (of systems) in a robust and scalable way. This presentation will go over some USL basics, and demonstrate the technology in use to build the kind of application for which one might use Ruby on Rails, and show how much simpler it is, not only conceptually, but to build, extend, and maintain systems defined and built with USL/001. The speaker will also showcase his Universal Schema Tool that leverages the power of USL and 001 to make an easy to use XML editor that round trips both XML and RDBMS Schemas from USL Type Maps.
10/30/07	IEEE North NJ Computer and Engineering Management Chapters	Open Source Software for EE's and Project Managers at the Morristown Library 7PM
04/27/06	CNNNJ	Embedded Linux
04/24/06	IEEE North NJ Computer Chapter	XML Schema: XML is the lingua franca of today's computing milieu. However, XML isn't a language of itself. but merely a syntax. The semantics of the message need to be described, and one way to do this is to use a meta-language such as W3C's XML Schema, a highly complex artifact designed by committee. This talk will unravel the mysteries of XML Schema, explain why it should be used, and how a useful subset can actually make it easy to publish your XML semantics and create/manage XML, with real-world examples. Also RELAX-NG, etc.
03/16/06	ACM/IEEE CS South Jersey Chapters	Linux on the Desktop II - the Time has Come! (Completely revised for the occasion!)
05/31/05	IEEE North NJ Computer Chapter	Linux on the Desktop - the Time has Come!
02/24/04	IEEE North NJ Computer Chapter	Model Driven Architecture (MDA), A Practical Perspective
01/29/04	CNNNJ	Web-Based and E-Mail Marketing
08/21/03	IEEE North NJ Computer Chapter	How to Set Up a Personal/Small Business Web Site at Minimal Cost
03/19/03	CNNNJ	Security and the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) Network
		Broadband – How NLoS, DSL, and Cable Access To the Internet Works and How To Get It
		Web Servers For Imbedded Systems

Training

All courses can be customized for length and content. See News for recent training successes! Courses of less than a day are considered to be presentations and special rates apply; presentations of hour or less are usually complementary. Please email us for course outlines and rates.
