GlassFish @ Silicon Valley Code Camp 2008 - Trip Report

1400 registrations, 112 sessions, free pizza, a barbecue on Saturday night, raffles and lot more - that is Silicon Valley Code Camp. Jitu, Jiandong, Jacob, and I presented on GlassFish at Silicon Valley Code Camp over the weekend. The event had higher attendance (close to 500) than last year and certainly is a great networking event for the local community.

The venue at Foothill College is literally in foot of the hills and the campus is beautiful. The barebecue reception in the evening was certainly a pleasant relief to the attendees who did not get a pizza slice at lunch ;-)

If you could not attend any of our sessions hen you can read through the slides for GlassFish: The Best Open Source Application Server and Rails powered by GlassFish. The demos shown in the talk are available at:

• Develop/Run/Debug Rails application using NetBeans and GlassFish
• Rapid Deployment Technology for Web application using NetBeans and GlassFish
• Tic Tac Toe using Rails and GlassFish
• Embeddable GlassFish in Action
• Deploying OSGi bundles in GlassFish
