Pointy update from Javapolis, Antwerpen
I’m starting to like this pointy-update style; I’m definitely too lazy to write a full post, or complete one of the several draft sleeping in my Wordpress database, so that’s the simplest way to write down what’s happening lately.
- I hit the road last Sunday, in the early morning, for Leiden, where I spent the day visiting and photographing the beautiful town. I’ve posted something here, more to come when I’ll be back home
- On Monday I left Leiden, and rode along the northern coast of the Netherlands, taking the opportunity to try my new Sigma 10-20 (and a Cokin GND filter). The weather was (of course) terrible…. but the results encouraging.
- Arrived in Antwerp Monday afternoon, just in time to see in person the great Kohsuke Kawaguchi of Hudson’s fame
- What’s hot at Javapolis 2007 so far
- Adobe Flex
- JavaFX
- JRuby and Ruby on Rails
- Google stuff: GWT, Guice, but, surprisingly, nothing about Android
- Java SE 6, EJB 3.1, closures, ….
and just in case you are saying “mmm nothing new”, well that’s true, nothing new but
- I have a Flex book in my hands… and I’m interested in reading it
