Felipe Gaucho's BlogThanks Netbeans Day 2007Posted by felipegaucho on May 08, 2007 at 12:44 PM | Comments (2)Gregg Sporar lead a technical session about the new Netbeans 6.0, together with a set of SUN engineers. It was not a flat presentation, in fact it was more deep into little details about how the new Netbeans works, including some live coding presentation - I can't imagine the kind of bargain Gregg used to convince a guy to code live on the stage to hundred of other developers :). The presentation was a complete overview of the new IDE features of the IDE, but the main attraction was the integrated profiler. Scripting and debugging completes the show together with some usability hints and tricks. The full presentation will be available somewhere in the oficial conference page, but mine first impressions are enumerated below:
You can check more about the new feature at this link: http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/NewAndNoteWorthyMilestone5. The Netbeans day happy hourAfter wonderful presentations and a lot of social and professional network, everyone went to the Closing General Session with that mission accomplished feeling to listen James Gosling and the Netbeans crew. Mr. Gosling introduced the final session of the day using the calm words reserved only to the core guys of any technology. To support the creator words, a team of engineers presented a summary of the Netbeans presentations and some novelties and future perspectives about the Netbeans platform. The presentation started with the Netbeans TV - a captivating video about guys trying to deliver Netbeans CDs and other gifts to Palestinian developers at Middle East. Some interesting reference to all people far away who are still using and loving Netbeans despite any difficulties. The smiles of that guys receiving simple gifts was quite amazing - a real life reference and a happiness sharing moment. The show then continued with Tim Boudreau and Henry Story talking about Web 3.0 and URL oriented databases: the web is the database. They commented the growing feeling that semantic web is becoming reality - including some demonstration of RDF documents being imported into Netbeans through a simple copy/paste operation. An interesting Netbeans plugin that allows movie player to be embedded into any JSE application was shown running over UBUNTU. The funny part was James Gosling commenting he doesn't has any windows running anywhere - the crowd loved it. Then we got a presentation of a man trying to train his dog using the SUN Spot device, adapting a DOG transporting box to be a remote controlled device to release dog food from computer commands. The lecturer was quite a character - a special moment to relax and enjoy a very friendly speaking and some nice movies with the dog interacting with the box - a kind of digital Pavlov experience :). One of the slides presented the sentence the geek shall inherit the earth and I guess this is a perfect way to describe the style of that presentation. Before the end of the day, Bruno de Souza spoke about the Netbeans Dream Team - a group of volunteers that contributes for the enhancements of the Netbeans quality through book publishing, tutorials, demos and a lot of feedback from real world experiences using Netbeans. Some of the dream team was on the stage showing the face of the growing Netbeans community. Time is up, the day finished with some special gifts distributions and beers. After the conference day, the JUG leaders had a unofficial dinner at a Chinese restaurant, but that is another history. Bookmark blog post:  del.icio.us  Digg  DZone  Furl  Reddit
