JavaLobby Resin 4 Tech Chat Trip Report
I just came back from a trip to the Raleigh, NC area to record a JavaLobby Tech Chat on Resin 4 (last year Emil did a Tech Chat that you might have seen). The Tech Chat went great. Mitch Pronschinske, the Editor-in-Chief of JavaLobby/DZone drove the Chat. Not to give away too much right now but we talked about:
- Past/present/future of Resin
- Defining characteristics of Resin - lightweight, standard and feature-complete
- Resin 4 Java EE 6 Web Profile certification
- Java EE Web Profile leadership
- How it stacks up against Tomcat/JBoss/GlassFish/WebLogic/WebSphere
- Small, dedicated, agile World class engineering team
- CDISource - a vendor-neutral space for all things CDI
- The CDISource Spring/CDI bridge
- Possibilities for Java EE 7/Java EE 8 (open for participation from you!)
- Early Resin WebSocket support
- Resin support for private clouds
Keep your eye on JavaLobby - the Tech Chat should be out there soon!
I chose to drive to NC to avoid the hassle of flying and because NC is quite drivable from my home office in Philly. On the way back, I did CDI demos at both the Research Triangle JUG and the NoVA/Washington, D.C. JUG. Both talks were very well attended. The interest/participation levels were fantastic. The DZone folks gave me a few nice printed copies of the CDI RefCard. Every single copy was taken and people were asking for more! They also asked me for the slide deck and code examples. I’ll send them to the JUG leads to post on the JUG websites. You can also take a look at the slide deck and code examples if you want and send me any follow-up questions. I also wanted to talk at the Maryland and Richmond JUGs but things didn’t quite work out schedule-wise this time around. Both JUGs are working on scheduling me to speak in the Fall instead.
