Thomas Risberg and myself are giving two presentations in one night at PhillyJUG on March 30'th. Thomas is introducing Spring, focusing on its persistence systems. I am giving a talk on Apache OJB focusing on how to get beer =)

Outline for "Using Apache OJB (to Get Beer)"
=========================
Object persistence from the client (Beer Truck Example)
How does it know what to do (Mapping)?
What about transactions?
How about caching?
When, where, and how should I use OJB?

Outline for "Spring Framework -- DAO and JDBC support":
 ==========================================
- Problems using straight JDBC
- How Spring's JDBC support solves some of these problems
- Overview of Spring Framework
- Introduction to Dependency Injection with Spring
- Spring's JavaBean Configuration for JDBC DataSource
- Beer Distributor Example -- The Spring JDBC solution
- Object Relational Mapping integration support
- Declarative Transaction Management (without EJB)

Will be interesting presenting to this group as a whole lot of people with a whole lot more experience than me will be in the audience. PhillyJUG is a pretty intense JUG and there are a lot of sharp people around the Philly area.
