Hi,

JavaLobby has released the Eclipse in Action presentation of last years JavaPolis.
You can view the presentation of Erich Gamma here.

Unfortunately JavaLobby has decided to resize the presentations so it would fit their layout, which makes Erichs demos a bit small to read.

Until JavaLobby has found a solution for this "cosmetic" problem, you can (with the current setup) view the presentation directly through the following url.

Please visit our [JavaPolis Media] (only for signed-up wiki users) page if you want to see the full list of available JavaPolis presentations.

We're working hard on the JavaPolis DVDs, which will hold EVERY JavaPolis presentation !!

Enjoy,
Stephan

Hi,

Just to let you know that today we've exceeded 4.000 JavaPolis wiki users,
who are enjoying all of the JavaPolis 2004 presentation streams and slides

So next week I'm flying over to Las Vegas to attend (for the 2nd time) The Server Side Symposium.
I'm looking forward to meet different speakers and mingle with other attendees and hopefully learn a few new Java things.
Hopefully Floyd will have a Java wall, so I can draw JavaPolis in big letters on every December month

Another mission to attend TSSS is, of course, to invite some people to speak at this year JavaPolis 2005.

I'll meet with Ted Neward who is actually the first invited speaker (already since December 2004) for JavaPolis 2005.
He's written a book on Effective Enterprise Java (where did he get his inspiration from for his book cover?) that will be an interesting talk.
Ted is also involved in the ServerSide.net and because of that he can really make a nice comparison between J2EE and .NET.
During last years TSSS he moderated a talk on J2EE and .NET and Jo Wyns and I were nicely surprised how well he knew both architectures and APIs.

Other people I want to meet are Jason Hunter (XQuery) and Jason Carreira (XWork) and John Crupi all of them have still yet to speak at JavaPolis

I'm also interested to see how far Geronimo is with their J2EE implementation; Dain Sundstrom is the man to follow.

Anybody else going from Belgium ?
If not, let me know whom I should invite

Hi,

Just to inform you that JavaPolis 2004 sponsors (including JCS ) can send (once a year) a blind email (whatever the content) to the JavaPolis and BeJUG database. This service is part of the sponsoring agreement.

However, if you whish, you can disable these partner emails by adjusting your wiki profile (see right-hand corner).

Cheers,

Stephan
