Blogging Roller: Triangle Software Symposium

Triangle Software Symposium

I'm attending the Triangle Software Symposium this weekend. So far it has been great. I went to David Geary's talk on JSF, Stuart Halloway's talk on Meta-programming and Bruce Tate's talk on Spring. Geary's talk was excellent, but I probably should have atteneded a different talk because it was essentially the same talk he gave to the Tri-JUG a couple of months ago. Halloway's talk was thought provoking and fun. Tate's presentation was good, but the subject matter was less than impressive. He told us that we would be blown away, but at the end, a show of hands proved that few people were even intrigued by Spring.

Today I'm going to focus on UI, as I have been doing in my day job. I'm going to attend David Geary's advanced JSF talk and Ben Galbraith's talks on SWT/JFace and "How to make Swing sing."

Yep I didn' t like Tate's Presentation on Spring either. I think Tate needs to show a sample first and then explain all the individual parts that make up the spring application. He went about explaining the parts first. He covered them with way too many details before showing us the end of the tunnel...There were so many details in the presentation that in the end most folks were pretty much tired, and people weren't really "blown away"
