JFugue at JavaOne 2007

I presented JFugue at JavaOne 2007, in Technical Session TS-1130, "JFugue: Making Music with Java MIDI and Illustrating API Usability".

• I presented with Geertjan Wielenga, whose JFugue Music NotePad is built using JFugue.
• Slides and videos of the presentation are available online, although I've noticed the video seems choppy. I don't really speak that oddly.
• Geertjan Wielenga and Michael Nascimento Santos both wrote extraordinary reviews of the session: Geertjan's review, Michael's review.
• In addition to showing off JFugue's musical capabilities, I talked about API Usability.
• Geertjan and I both received JavaOne Conference Rock Star awards for this session.

JFugue is featured in the following books:

• Wicked Cool Java, by Brian D. Eubanks
• Groovy in Action, by Koening, et al.
  • JFugue is used in an example on loading and using third-party libraries. It's a testament to JFugue that it's one of the few libraries that lets you do something interesting is as little as one or two lines of code!
