Hi there, Øredev was great success, especially all the people and the organization – a big Thank You to Michael and Emily for making this possible, you rock! Now, it was really awesome to exchange Android games with Mike Jennings fro the Android team, and get him excited over the recent Android port to the [...]

Since the release of the Android SDK 1.0, people (including me) have been complaining about the lack of connectivity for the very convenient Smack API to talk to Googles GTalk servers following http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/12/31/android-just-use-smack-api-for-xmpp/, see here. However, yesterday @Øredev, I met Mike Jennings from the Android team and together we looked into this problem over a [...]

This year at JAOO all 5 keynote speakers were language designers so there was a clear trend talking about new languages, for example Scala, F# and Fortress.

JavaOne 2006 might be only a few months old, but a summer feels a like lot longer than that. What were the trends and are they still hot? JavaOne conferences seem to come in three different flavours – announcement, middle and final. Several “new” technologies made their finale this year; a graduation year. EJB 3, [...]
