by Terence Parr
Terence likes to hear himself talk. He also has a few favorite things about Java he wants to share with you. Come learn more than you ever wanted to know about JITs, interpreters, and on-the-fly compilers like HotSpot. But wait! There's more. Act now, and you'll also discover how Arnold Schwarzenegger is related to interfaces and how you should think about these strange critters. As an added bonus, we'll even throw in a brief discussion of the Java progenitors, reflection, threads, and garbage collection. You'll hear all this and some irrelevant stories. He's wacky; he's highly-caffeinated, he's the Lead Mage at MageLang Institute.
Terence Parr is the president and co-founder of the MageLang Institute--founded to promote the growth of Java by providing excellent Java education and by acting as an independent resource. He received a Ph.D. in computer engineering from Purdue University, Lafayette, IN (1993) and completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the Army High Performance Computing Research Center at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Parr is the primary author of the public-domain PCCTS language toolkit, which is used extensively throughout the research and industrial community to develop compilers, translators and interpreters. He has published a book on PCCTS and a variety of technical papers on the application of language theory. By day, Terence is a wild-eyed highly-caffeinated Java evangelist. By night, Terence plays blues piano and works on the 2.xx version of ANTLR, a complete rewrite of PCCTS in Java to generate Java. You may contact him at parrt@MageLang.com.
