what do I know

Well, looks like I made it through the April Adogo meeting with both my presentations on BlazeDS. I put quite a bit of work into the presentations, so thanks to all of those who attended the presentation. We’ve updated the Meetings page with links to the recordings if anyone is interested. I have to apologize for the quality of the sound, however; I think I accidentally messed up the white noise calibration. In any case, thanks to the Adogo for having me as always.

Well I’ve finally put the finishing touches on my Adogo presentation for tomorrow night on the “Mechanics of BlazeDS” and “Remoting and Messaging with BlazeDS”. I originally called the 2nd presentation “RPC and Messaging with BlazeDS”, but I didn’t have an opportunity to integrate SOAP/REST into the picture, so I’m renaming it. In any case, I was able to throw together a pretty cool little sample app that should allow for some audience participation (pending my laptop can spare the memory). Hopefully some of my former co-workers from CFI can make it out. Sebastian and I will be driving out right after work, so see you all there.

Also, there will be food this time around thanks to TekSystems, so worst case, come out, be fed, and ridicule my meager presentations.

It’s been a while since I’ve presented at the Adogo, so I figure I owe the group a couple of presentations. Based on the feedback we’ve been getting from the mailing list, I’m going to take a little bit of a different approach to this month’s meeting. We’re going to do 2, 30 minute presentations, one focusing on the conceptual and one focusing on the practical. The topics this month will be “The Mechanics of BlazeDS” (conceptual) and “RPC and Messaging Using BlazeDS” (practical). For those of you who are interested in seeing how Java will integrate with Flex, I will be showing off how to integrate POJO’s for use with RPC.

Hopefully I can keep the presentations short and the content simple and interesting. If anyone decides to stop by, make sure to hold me to that goal during the meeting. Primers should be posted soon. See you on April 1st, same time and place as always.
