About Me
My name is Dave Landers. You probably already figured that out.
I work for Oracle (formerly BEA Systems), where I am an Architect for the WebLogic Portal. Work is in Boulder, Colorado and I live in Longmont.
I have been working with Java since the early days (1.0 and before) and have been doing J2EE since before J2EE existed. My first “J2EE” project was using pre-release versions (0.9 something) of EJB and JSP with Beta versions of WebLogic and TopLink.
Before Java, I worked on a product doing numerical analysis and visualization in C, C++, Java, and other languages. And before that, I did a lot of FORTRAN in my previous life as an Antenna Design Engineer (my MSEE is in Electromagnetics).
In recent years, I have spoken on various Java-related topics at the Colorado Software Summit. That is great fun and always a challenge, as the audience is highly technical and really on top of things. There have been several times when my audience has included inventors of, or contributors to, the technology I’m speaking about. But the conference is highly interactive and everyone is quite friendly.
I like to spend time outdoors, exploring hiking trails and camping in Colorado. I volunteer with the Boy Scouts (I am an Assistant Scoutmaster). And if I had any free time left over from all of that, I’d spend it in my basement wood shop.
