Jazoon 08 Day I
Here are some quick notes on the sessions I attended yesterday at Sihlcity. I believe Jazoon will be uploading videos and slides very soon:
First in my lineup was a talk on using Google Web Toolkit for a business application in a typical enterprise environment. This was kind of like a case study. Dmitry Buzdin talked about the experience his company gained and listed the various pros and cons.
Next, I listened in to Bruno Schäffer’s talk together with Christoph Henrici and Daniel Buffet of APG. The talk described the migration of an Oracle Forms application to Java forms for the advertising industry. Main requirement: development and application performance had to remain just as fast as with Oracle Forms. A requirement that the migrated application managed to over-fulfill.
Canoo’s Andreas Hölzl and Christian Stettler presented their Google Android experience report. They showed an application they developed for the Android Developer Challenge called Mobile Zoo. Their baseline: “What’s here looks promising. Let’s see the devices!”
Brian Sletten’s presentation on data-driven applications was very interesting. I particularly liked the analogy between resampling music and data.
