I attended yesterday the JavaDeus in St. Pölten, Lower Austria, and I have to say I was quite surprised; very professional, interesting, and quite a fun. I met old friends and talked with a lot of interesting people about the upcoming JavaFX and the Open Source Strategy. For me the most interesting sessions were Suns Open Source Strategy by Reggie Hutcherson, the Technology Demos by the US Team, and Sun Spots by Manfred Bortenschlager.
After talking with the Sun people I am really looking forward to the JavaFX SDK preview release in July. Hopefully, the mobility SDK will follow soon. I have to admit I am getting excited about JavaFX …
Some interesting facts:
| Locations: | FH St. Pölten (quite a nice location) |
| Hosts: | FH St. Pölten, Sun Microsystems Austria, and Partners |
| Conferees: | nearly 600 (expected 150!) |
| Sessions: | 20 |
Like I wrote in previous blog entries I also was at the JAX this year. I got the feeling that the JAX was all about Marketing, Business, and Enterprise xxx (enter what you want here). JavaDeus was the opposite. Talking about (new) technologies, Java, the concerns, and expectations, and so forth. This was really refreshing compared to the Jax advertising.
Thanks again to the hosts, I am definetley coming again next year. Btw. slides will be available soon!
