Three of the vendors were good because they were open source. Only one felt like a sales pitch

App dynamics

on how to monitor software.  Read like a commercial

Cache resin
on open source servlet container. Will be supporting JEE 7.  Can run PHP on resin

Vaadin
Quick overview of complex widgets in java without requiring browser plugin. Deploys as single jar file. Will be getting “book of Vaadin” at lunch

FuseSource
Sponsors Apache projects including ActiveMQ and Camel (enterprise integration patterns). Covered “why open source rocks”. And
included the word grok in the answer. Noted when you contribute code online it is there forever. Remember forum posts work that way too. Then went on to explain why you should join an open source project – learn a lot, transfer back to work, networking, etc. Dynamic presenter too.

Eek wordpress – from the server side java symposium

Switching to the web interface over the iPad app for live blogging. I’m a bit annoyed the word press iPad app lost my post because I started a second draft. I also noticed the app posted my blog entry twice. While researching this, I learned of other even worse problems.  Using the web interface exclusively now.

Update: turns out word press doesn’t scroll properly in the browser  on iPad. I’m now up to blogging in notes and copy/pasting it in

Update: added the 99 cent HTML editor so I can get to the <> keys more easily and add some formatting as I write

Update: the HTML editor I tried doesn’t wrap text. There is probably a better editor, but I don’t have time to find it during a conference so I am back to Notes.

Update: i finally found out how to scroll in safari. Two fingers in the textarea and drag. Now trying to blog in the wordpress browser ui again.  Stayed with this for the rest of the conference

So apparently the wordpress iPad app only let’s you have one blog post In draft form at the same time and i lost what I wrote earlier. Rewrote this from memory

Highlights

The language

  • wishes more language enhancements got into java 7
  • amazed how many people got stuck at gave 1.4

The Cloud

  • plugged netbeans and glass fish even though doesn’t have to anymore
  • A redeploy of amazon takes a few minutes because restarting clean. “by contrast” netbeans only takes a few seconds [netbeans is local]
  • amazon cloud expensive for baseline use. Suggesting having internal cloud on Eycalptus and using amazon for spillover

The Web

  • Is a social experiment. Which is not about tech

Other things

  • Hudson is now Jennings and owned by Cloudbees
  • Ended with a shout out to the coderanch community being participatory
  • I had never see Gosling speak live, he has a good stage presence
