I’m wasted and having a bad headache. Not from drinking and partying but from spending the whole weekend, including Friday afternoon, at the No Fluff Just Stuff Java symposium. It was really tough to absorb so much information in such a short time. But it was totally worth it.
My favourite presenter is Venkat Subramaniam. If you want to have a good laugh, get some free candy and learn cool things about software development at the same time, I strongly recommend his talk to you.
A couple of things I learned after this weekend. First, Groovy is definitely worth checking out. Second, Spring/Hibernate/AOP is the future of Java. Third, IntelliJ IDEA looks pretty cool.
By the way, MacBook/Pro is the most popular laptop at the symposium. Yeah, baby!
