OOPSLA 2006 Day 2

An article by maxdavinci

It’s the time of the year when the big names come together to discuss what’s new in the world of object oriented programming, it’s that time of the year when we get to learn bout cool stuff, it’s time for OOPSLA. The beautiful city of Portland plays host to this years edition, and me put up with my friend who goes to at PDX.

8:00AM – 12:00 PM – Ajax: Introduction and Architecture
12:00-15:00 – I am currently floating as a student volunteer
13:30PM – 17:30PM – Making the Most of Eclipse

Stuart Halloway gave a kickass presentation on AJAX, with code examples, architectural desicions and why we should be using rails and prototype or using dojo and going the JAVA way.

neat stuff!

I’m of to the Eclipse tutorial now……

Update: Olaf Zimmerman gave a super cool presentation on using webservices in J2EE using Eclipse 3.1 and the Web Tools Platform. I forsee a huge market surge in the Java side of web services with IBM pumping money into it. There is a commercial product RAD but then you can use Apache Tomcat and Axis, along with Eclipse and WTP. The future is Web services, the future is SOA…….

Technorati: OOPSLA, AJAX, DOJO, rails.

The Adventures of Tintin 8/10
2012-01-02 04:03

Steven Spielberg take a bow! Tintin is an awesome ride that will hold you spell bound right till the very end. A plot that brings together three comic book stories and weaves them into a journey that one can never forget. Best watched in 3D and news of a sequel is the icing on the cake.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 6/10

Tom cruise is old, the sooner you get that out of your system, the better you can enjoy the movie. Pacy, well edited and action that keeps you at the edge of your seat. The Burj-Dubai sequences are mind blowing, but the India sequence and teh climax slightly disappoints. Anil Kapoor? Who is that?

Zookeeper 5/10
2011-12-13 05:00

Animals can speak, well we've seen that in many movies before. The only difference here is that here the animals break their code to stop zookeeper Kevin james from taking up another position. Few nice jokes and witty lines by the actors voicing the animals make it a fun watch.
