Luca Guidi

Subsonica is one of my favourite band. It's a Torino based pop electronic quintet, that just turned 10 years of activity.

They just posted a video of their recent dig in Rome. I was there, near the stage. Great experience!!

In the last week-end I was at the Pop Art! exposition.

More than 50 artists (including Warhol, Lichtenstein and Rauschenberg) 100 works, from 1956 and 1968, for trace the history of the pop art movement.

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.

Everything is ready for the Rome JavaDay 2007: 4 parallel sessions, 24 talks and more than 1000+ subscripters.
See you there.

I'll be at the Rome JavaDay 07 as speaker, with a presentation on JRuby and DSL.

See you at the conference!!

Sunday I went to a Stanley Kubrik exhibition in Rome. He is one of my favourite directors.

The exhibition is full of screenplays, shots and things regarding his movies. It was very exciting!!

If you are in Rome you can visit Palazzo delle Esposizioni until the Jan 6th, 2008.

Massimo Silenzio is an artistic installation composed by 10k colored lights. It was created for La Notte Bianca (The White Night) in Rome, at Circo Massimo by Giancarlo Neri and Zètema Progetto Cultura.

Il BarCamp è una (non) conferenza sul web 2.0, blog, reti sociali e i modelli di business. Sarà un'occasione per interagire con gente simpatica e appassionata di nuove tecnologie.
Soprattutto partecipare, una delle regole fondamentali dei BarCamp è che non ci sono spettatori, ognuno deve contribuire all'evento.
Il BarCamp si terrà a domani, 20 Gennaio, al Linux Club di Roma. Io ci sarò e seguirò l'evento, aggiornarnando in diretta il blog.

Gli aggiornamenti dal saranno raggiungibili presso l'apposita pagina.
