JavaZone 2009 gets underway today in Oslo, Norway. JavaZone is "Scandinavia's biggest meeting place for software developers, and one of Europe's most important." More than 2000 attendees are expected at this year's two-day conference.
peligri posted an introduction and overview to the conference yesterday. The GlassFish and Hudson communities will be represented on the presentation side of things:
In all, the conference will include more than 100 presentations, on topics including Core Java; Java Frameworks; Embedded, Mobile and Gaming; Enterprise Architecture and Integration; Agile and Software Engineering; Alternative Languages; and Green IT.
In addition to the regular sessions, the conference will include about 35 lightning talks, each with a time limit of 10 minutes.
You can see the full agenda on the JavaZone 2009 agenda page. Hopefully Kohsuke and Alexis, and members of the java.net community who are attending the conference, will write about some of the more interesting sessions in upcoming days.
I've just returned from a training at skyguide in Geneva. We where invited there by a group of enthusiastic Java pros who are thinking about porting some of their applications to NetBeans. When teaching the NetBeans Platform some APIs are harder to understand for new users than others - especially the Nodes API, System FileSystem and Lookups. If you've been using these APIs for a while they actually seem very simple. So when it's hard to explain an API which is actually quite elegant and simple, there must be something wrong...
Yep, Time. You can interpret this however you want. Calendars, time in a bottle, cosmic time, space time continuum. Even a totally rockin’ ELO album. Just remember: do something cool in 30 lines or 3000 characters, and no external libs (see the original post for full details).
Even though it's considered bad practice, it's often handy to eval code in JavaScript. And in my case, it was simply necessary, since the JSF specification requires eval of scripts. And it's also necessary to execute those evaluated scripts in the global scope. It's not as easy as it first looks...
Well, religious beliefs apart, I'm not a man of immutable mind. Indeed I believe that you *have to* change your mind when a proof demonstrates that there's something wrong with an idea (hey, I'm not saying that it's *easy* to make me change my mind, but this is another story...)...
I am working out a new pet project, an online system to support PUJ Competitions. It is still a work under progress and I plan to start to blog some technical results here, but until that glorious free time I would give you a glimpse about what is keeping my blog so quiet :) ...
sebete responds Re: Problem with KeyNavigator: "I think that what you can do is to read all events in a proccessEvents in your behavior, and add the influence of the keys, in a Vector, lets say, directionVector. This function will be called in the proccessStimulus() function."
And rjlanc responds Re: Rev 3488: "3491 may fix this but I am unable to test sufficiently since now get a new error. I saw some added models but was not able to right click on any of them to get the menu and properties. I was testing on my laptop with Vista as server and..."
Our current Spotlight is Terrence Barr's annoucement of 4 New Screencasts: LWUIT, JDTF, JSR 290, and JavaCard: "Our documentation team has put together four brand-new screencasts on current subjects. They are 5 minutes each in length and a great way to get introduced quickly to the highlights of each topic. I encourage you to have a look..."
