I’ve been playing a bit with SlideShare today and I took the opportunity to upload the slides from my Java.net Community Corner interview with Kevin Farnham at JavaOne 2009. SlideShare has a nice feature that allows you to sync up the audio from an MP3 file with your slides, and since both were available, I [...]

JUG-USA Meeting with James Gosling at #JavaOne
On Wednesday morning, JUG-USA was fortunate enough to get about 45 minutes with the “Father of Java” himself, James Gosling. Each year at JavaOne, Sun distributes registration discount codes to interested JUG’s. The JUG with the most registrations using their code gets this meeting. JUG-USA’s founding allowed us to use a bit of strength in [...]

More connecting at #JavaOne 2009
I happened to catch Guillaume LaForge’s tweet this morning about a “Groovy lunch” at JavaOne today. After our JUG-USA meeting with James Gosling(blog entry on this one to come), I made my way over to the “cafeteria” and found Guillaume, James Williams (of the Griffon team), and John Smart in exactly the location that Guillaume [...]

Reactions from #JavaOne 2009 Opening Keynote
The morning session opened with a HUGE elephant under the rug – “Where is Oracle?” There’s no booth in the Pavilion – super strange. Things kicked off very slowly. Jonathan Schwartz, Sun CEO, for all of his ponytail excellence, wasn’t exactly inspiring a great deal of excitement in the crowd. In fact, the loudest applause [...]

Java™ Technology on Google App Engine: #CommunityOne 2009 Lightning Talk
My second lightning talk at Community One West 2009 revolved around the still relatively recent announcement that Java is now supported on Google’s App Engine. What exactly is Google App Engine? It’s none other than a way that you can run your Java™ technology-based applications on Google’s massive infrastructure. As far as the “Geekxecutive Summary,” [...]

Deploying Grails to Morph AppSpace: #CommunityOne 2009 Lightning Talk
I gave two lightning talks at CommunityOne today, the first of which described deploying Grails applications to Morph AppSpace. For the uninitiated, Grails is a Ruby on Rails inspired full stack web development framework which brings “convention over configuration” and “DRY” into the Java web development arena. Unlike Rails, it is not an effort from [...]

Connecting with people at #JavaOne
So far one of the greatest things about JavaOne for me has been the opportunity to connect face-to-face with so many people that I’ve only communicated with digitally. I’ve also been able to catch up with folks that I’ve run into through other conferences, the JUG, and work: Finally met Aaron Houston and Mark DeHart [...]
