Today’s web applications

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

I gave a talk on today’s Java EE and related web applications at yesterday’s London Digital Week event at Skills Matter. I had a full room of geeks keen to find out what I think about web application development. I hope that all attendees learned at least one new thing and that they’ll all find the time to try out Spring, Ruby on Rails or Grails.
To get started, you can download the source code of the talk from http://github.com/janm399/ldw/tree/master; the PDF version of the talk is available at http://github.com/janm399/ldw/raw/master/talk/ldw-pdf.pdf.

I’m looking forward to seeing most of you again at the next Java User Group or Spring User Group event!

Getting Ready to Rumble

Monday, August 24th, 2009

This year I have entered the Rails Rumble. I am entering as a Solo developer and will be competing with over 200 teams of up to 4 people.

Rails Rumble '09 Badge

For those of you who don’t know what the Rails Rumble is, it’s a coding competition that lasts for 48 hours. The aim is to design and build a web application in Ruby and Rails within this 48 hour slot. No digital assets are to produced before the competition.

I have previously entered a web-2.0y-mashup competition for Film 4 and came runner up… so I am feeling optimistic!

The competition is this coming weekend. Wish me luck!
