Java EE 6 : What's up next (16th December 2008)

I was invited to the YaJUG (Yes Another JUG) in Luxembourg. I gave a talk about what's coming next in Java EE 6. It was a very nice venue with nice people. I offered 3 copies of my book that were given to different attendees.

During the break I had lots of question about Java EE 6 and, of course, the impact it will have on other frameworkd such as Spring. Well, I have a personal point of view on that matter… but only future will tell ;o)

You can see other photos of the event on IT News web site.

Java EE 5 at the Sun Tech Days in Paris (20th March 2007)

During the Sun Tech Days 2007 in Paris there was a GlassFish user group conference. There I made a presentation about Java EE 5. Based on my book I explained how a JSP could talk to an EJB 3 using JSF and JPA. You will a little more details about the event on my blog.

During this event I met the developpez.com team. For those who don't know it developpez.com is a very famous french website for developpers. Vincent Brabant interviewed me and Emmanuel Puybaret who wrote a couple of good book about Java and Swing.

JUnit 4 at Java Polis (14th December 2006)

At Java Polis I made a quicky (a presentation of 15 minutes) about JUnit 4. I've been using JUnit for quite a while. I've also tried TestNG but never really got into it. In summer 2006 I worked with JUnit 4 at a customer. I've used it quite intensively, that's when I decided to write an article about it (Get Acquainted with the New Advanced Features of JUnit 4). I've proposed a quicky to JavaPolis and it was accepted. Checkout the blog I wrote about it.
