Today is the second day of the java No Fluff Just Stuff conference. I have to complement Jay for putting on a good conference so far. Right now I'm waiting for the second session to start with Craig Walls talk on the Spring Security. This is the topic that I have been waiting for.
Yesterday I went to the
JSF talk by David
Geary. I liked that presentation and it gave a good overview of
JSF. I don't know If I subscribe to
JSF yet but at least I know more about it then I did a week ago. The next session that attended was the
RIA talk from Richard
Moson-
Haefel. I commend Richard for being very enthusiastic about the
RIA concepts but I just
don't agree with some of his theories about pushing most of the computation to the client side because the industry will move back to client only apps. I think that some
RIA is a good idea but just us it in the right place.
The last presentation that I attended yesterday was the talk from Craig Walls on Spring Web Services. I don't have any current plans to use
WS yet but I love the ideas in Spring and if I need to implement
WS I'll look at Spring
WS in more detail. Thanks again Craig.
After that we had dinner and then the Keynote from Neal Ford: Ancient Philosophers & Blowhard Jamborees. This was truly the best of the day. Definitely a wake up call for all US programmers, developers and architects. The talk had humor, history and a look at what is going on in our industry.
I can't wait for the rest of this weekend. Keep posted for my next entry
