Home from JavaPolis: Major Chet Lag

I was in Belgium at JavaPolis last week, doing presentations with Romain Guy and Richard Bair, and hanging out with Hans Muller and various other folks in the Java and web development community. Excellent conference, great presentations, lovely gray weather. Just like home, except for the language, the food, the location, the weather, the people, the eyeglasses , and the odd expectation that everyone really wants mayonnaise on everything.

Richard, Romain and I did a full "University" day (6 hours of non-stop Desktop Java; Whoo-hooo!) where we talked about everything from Java SE 6 features to UI design to SwingLabs to Graphics for GUI GEEKs to Deployment to future Desktop feature thoughts to (of course) cool Swing demos.

Romain and I also did a session on "Filthy Rich Clients"; this one covered some core useful Graphics for FRC, an overview of the timing framework in its latest incarnation, plus some stuff about an upcoming extension called "AnimTrans", plus some cool Effects by Romain (of course!).  There will be a better version of the presentation available sometime soon (see the Parleys blurb below), but in the meantime here is the PDF of our talk.

One of the great things they do for this conference is that they post complete video/audio-sync'd versions of the talks after that fact.  This year, they will do this on the Parleys website.  Keep checking up on that site, or I'll try to remember to post a link once the presentations are live.
