So this weekend will mark my fifth year attending the Gateway Software Symposium which I’ll be able to mark by also speaking at a conference I’ve admired since the first time I attended it back in 2006. As with previous years, I’ll also try to do some live blogging about the conference to provide some coverage.
Below is a schedule of the sessions I plan on attending.
Friday May 21st
- Hands-on Agile Development
- Encryption on the JVM: Boot Camp
- Decision Making in Software Teams
Saturday May 22nd
- iBeans: The Simplest Service Integrations You’ve Ever Implemented
- DSLs in Scala: Internal and External
- Migrating to Maven 3.0
- Cloud Computing Boot Camp on the Google App Engine
Sunday May 23rd
- Using Test Doubles With Mockito (duh!)
- Enterprise JPA & Spring 3.0 – Tips and Tricks for JEE Persistence
- Code Craft
- Hacking Your Brain for Fun and Profit
There’s lots of good sessions this year (as always) so it’s been hard to make decisions on which sessions I feel I’ll get the most out of. Three fellow OCIers (Michael Easter, Mark Volkmann, and Brian Gilstrap) will also be presenting at the conference, as well as fell St.Lousians Ken Sipe and Dave Klein. I definitely recommend checking their sessions out!
Also, if time allows I’d LOVE to get together with anyone at the conference interested in pair programming with me using jspec on any random code kata.
