As some of you may be aware, I recently joined the well-respected US based No Fluff Just Stuff (NFJS) Tour. My first engagement with NFJS was the New York Software Symposium on April 4-5. The show went relatively well. My second engagement was extremely encouraging - the Central Ohio Software Symposium in Columbus, Ohio on June 6-8. Unlike New York, the Columbus show was fully sold out and very vibrant.
I had five talks total over two days, essentially back-to-back. I had a full house for all my sessions and had many of the same folks staying for multiple sessions which is always a very good sign. I did talks on Java EE 7/Java EE 8, the Cargo Tracker Java EE Blue Prints, JMS 2, aligning Java EE 7 with the HTML 5/JavaScript Rich Client landscape and JAX-RS 2. More details, including slide decks and code, posted on my personal blog.
