Here I will try to summarize some of messages I perceived there but if want to get deeper more complete coverage, I can't do better than one of the presenters there, Matt Raible. So go to his blog for his take, transcripts of the keynotes, and everything Raible: <a href="http://raibledesigns.com/">http://raibledesigns.com/</a><div><br /></div><div>The slideshows from the breakout sessions are posted by TheServerSide.com here: <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/javasymposium">http://www.slideshare.net/javasymposium</a> - really *REALLY* good stuff in some of those.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Gosling</b> gave the main keynote and he recommended some sites I totally had not previously paid attention to that are very interesting:</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://openjdk.java.net/">Open source version of java itself </a>with stuff about hacking it and just all sorts of stuff.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://blogs.sun.com/theaquarium/">Open source J2EE 6 stuff</a> which includes Glassfish, WebBeans, JPA 2.0, JSF 2.0 and needless to say lots more. Lots of stuff came together all at once on Dec. 10th 2009 regarding java 6 such as <a href="https://glassfish.dev.java.net/">Glassfish</a> (the open source Enterprise server which implements the Java EE 6 platform) and <a href="http://netbeans.org/">Netbeans </a>(the open source IDE that provides complete support for Java EE 6 and Glassfish).</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://java.sun.com/warehouse/">The Java Developer Warehouse</a> - sorta iTunes for java apps.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Several Presenter</b>s mentioned various technologies that caught my attention: NoSql, BigTable, infinispan, REST-MQ, REST-TX, Speed Tracer, JRebel, javax.script.package, map/reduce. Not necessarily new to me but it made me realize all the glorious architectural alternatives.</div><div><br /></div><div>Map/Reduce was mentioned extensively - keep in mind the conference was called "ServerSide" - and is available in flavors other than the original Google invention such as one from Amazon.</div><div><br /></div><div>The conference had numerous presentations either about ESB or referencing ESB which successfully introduced that technology to my radar.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Flex-GWT smackdown was <b>really </b>great - things I learned there:</div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>gwt does REST flex doesn't</li><li>flex can't do iphone, Android, PalmPre, etc</li><li>flex has no right to left language support</li><li>flex has issues printing from the browser</li></ul>Google Wave seems to be standard among bleeding edge types.</div><div><br /></div><div>The breakout about "<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 23px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hidden Web Services</span>" was very interesting: about the W3C RDFa vs Microformats.</div><div><br /></div><div>And lastly (for this post) I discovered that HTML5 wasn't unusable or incompatible - just look at existing websites and examine their doctype - all the majors are already using HTML5.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's all I have notes about - my main note was to be certain to rewatch all the slideshows including the ones I missed.</div><div><br /></div><div><whew></whew></div><div>owen<br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4320493197837805918-3183912234796473352?l=owenjcorpening.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Owen Corpeninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00530836844194953146noreply@blogger.com1http://owenjcorpening.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-just-returned-from-theserverside-java.html
