Java Evangelist Sang Shin reports on Houston TechFest Sep 26, 2009: JavaFX, Comet, JDK6, and more...

Sang reports: "....Dan Sline co-leader of the Houston Java Users Group, and, he is a co-organizer of this code-camp style event. Over 1600 folks registered for this event. Approx 1/2 attended throughout the day. --- I gave (3) talks:
  • "JavaFX II: Advanced features (pdf)" --- (One of the attendees had deep knowledge of JavaFX; he had a licensing question regarding the reuse of dtfx.js at his company)
  • Build truly async. Web apps using Comet (pdf forthcoming) --- (There was interest in using a combination of Comet and JavaFX/Javascript; an interesting combination to solve a problem. Some of the Microsoft guys aked if Commet was available in .NET; Yes, ASP.NET has its own Cometd implementation. Talk went pretty well + lots of interested in Comet)
  • JDK7 and Java EE6 (pdf) --- (Very Well Attended! Overall, people seemed to be quite excited about the Modularity feature)
Nonetheless, the conference seems to have some respect from developers due to its deep-down developer focus...". -- Thanks Sang
