Post JavaZone

Well, JavaZone came and went, but it was the best so far. Lots of good presentations, and I espacially enjoyed some of them:

• Bruce Tate scared us by showing what can be accomplished with very few loc in Ruby and other dynamic languages.
  
• The methodology presentation fra the Telenor Mobile COS Team. They have really gone agile.
• Spring WebFlow by Keith Donald. Say goodbye to obscure code for directing the user to next page (I have seen lots of code not is NOT maintainable). This will probably be the replacement for Struts in Webapps with complex flows.
• Ted Newards SOA presentation was about what works and not. He left no doubt wa he believes is the way things should be done. Mostly common sense, but amusing.
  

Back in the office I feel like a hypocrite drinking coffe from the nice Java coffe cup (offered by Sun), while developing solutions in, god forbid, .Net.

Between sessions there where lot's of activity on the stands, and I think one of the main activity's was the game of changing jobs.
