Pointy-update from Milano

Some burocrazy and family reunions led me back to Italy last Sunday, and I’m spending my first entire week in Italy since months. I took the opportunity for a quick visit to my friends of the Java User Group Milano last night; so, what’s happening down here?

  • I attended the November meeting of Jug Milano; it’s the first after the summer break, we’re definitly getting lazy, but the attendance was, as usual, very good.
  • Learnt the existence of another javascript framework, Spry; it’s a kind of unusal AJAX framework: no fancy effects, no cool widgets, but a certain focus on easy on use (using a sort of templating client side). Worth having a look
  • Spry is open source, but not openly developed
  • This demo photogallery with Spry is so cool. I’d like to add it to my photo gallery (don’t worry, it’ll never happen ;-)
  • Attended for the n-th time Bruno’s presentation on testing enterprise systems. Discovered Selenium Grid for parallel functional testing
  • Stayed at Marcello’s apartment for the night, and had my first experience with the Wii. I know I should’t have played with it ;-)
