The conference

It was a great conference, with more than 1200+ people, 24 talks, distributed in 5 parallels sessions:

  • Core Java, what's hot
  • Next generation Web
  • Java enterprise
  • Open Source
  • (Plus)

Impressions

The first impression was.. Wow!! The college was full of students, developers, managers, sponsors and whatever.. Surely, the tons of mails has worked.

My speech was about JRuby and DSLs. I talked of the theory of the Domain Specific Language with some Ruby examples.

Of course, I'm proud to be a speaker of the biggest italian IT conference, but it was hard to talk to an audience made up, for an half, of people that never worked, and for the 95% never heard about Ruby and Rails. Anyway, I received positive feedbacks, and a lot of guys asked to me and Paolo Donà (speaker of the following talk) some questions about the language and the framework.
You can find my presentation on my slideshare page.

Thanks

Thanks to all guys. See you at the next event.
