I’ll be presenting a 3 hour tutorial at the upcoming Agile Practices Conference in December on .NET and Java, the interop gap and various solutions to interoperate between them. Grasshopper will also be introduced as well as other solutions such as Codemesh. Here’s the abstract:

Java and .NET - Bridging the Interop Gap

Many development shops have huge investments in Java, .NET, or both. When it’s time to get programs in one language talking with programs in another, or even being fully deployed in a foreign environment, what options do you have? How do you make sure your programming language skills, along with the investment that gave you those skills, aren’t  lost when trying to target another platform or re-use existing code instead of rewriting it?  Roy Osherove will present various approaches to interoperability between .NET and Java. These approaches include: cross compilation, single-sourced applications, cross language interoperability, JNI, SOAP and web services, and architectural patterns. Roy will also demonstrate tools such as CodeMesh, Mainsoft Grasshopper, Janet, JNBridge and more.

Also, I’ll be  presenting there on:

• Java EE as a multi-language platform
• Codemesh does Interop with .NET and Java too. How does Grasshopper compare?
• Video: First Steps with Grasshopper and ASP.NET Web Applications
• What this blog is about
• Meet the Grasshoppers
