OOP2011, entwicklerTAGE2011, EclipseCon2011, JAX2011

sometimes I have the feeling it’s always conference season

one week ago I had much fun to present a workshop at (german) OOP 2011 about ‘Business UI modeldriven‘. this was a real challenge for a one-day-only workshop:

• I gave an overview about development of Business UI for enterprise apps
• jonas explained EMF. most from audience never used EMF before – so this was different to sessions at eclipse conferences
• flo talked about the architecture of redView
• max demonstrated how to use the  EMFStore
• and the 2nd part of the day I did live hacking code:
  • developing a RCP app using Riena Toolbox
  • creating a business UI with redView from scratch
  • generating a prototype of business UI from EMF domain model to (redView) views with tabfolders, mockup data and more using red-open (Xpand/Xtend, MWE)

next 2 weeks or so we’ll publish this workshop (250 slides have to be translated in english) and we’ll add some videos so everyone can try it out. of course there will also be the example projects available together with the solutions so you can compare if you did all lessons well.

end of february I’ll have a 2-day workshop about ‘Enterprise goes mobile: Push Services to mobile devices’ covering BlackBerry and Android where I’ll also present my Equinox OSGI Server as the heart of the communication-lifecycle. …will report about this solution later…

march is always the month with my favorite conference: the eclipseCON where I’ll present all news from redView project: Dynamic Views for Business Apps.

but much more important is to meet you all face-to-face.

I’m also working on a BlackBerry Conference App for EclipseCON 2011 - stay tuned… development will start soon

in may I’m speaking at the (german) jax 2011 conference.

last year I moderated the Enterprise Eclipse Day – this year I have the pleasure to be part of two Eclipse Days moderated by Lars Vogel and Kai Tödter.

• Enterprise to go – mobile business apps and Eclipse RT – as part of the Eclipse Runtime day moderated by Kai Tödter
• EGit/JGit and Mercurial: DVCS at Eclipse – as part of the Eclipse Tools day moderated by Lars Vogel

in june will follow the Eclipse Democamps celebrating the Indigo Release

unfortunately between all these great events there must be done some work on customer projects

see you all at EclipseCON – and if you’re in the region of Munich:

Eclipse Stammtisch 2011-02-22 in Munich

• where: Unions Bräu
• when: 7pm

Eclipse Democamps, Stammtisch and Conference

Democamps

This year’s November Democamps I managed the Democamp Munich (together with Max and Jonas from EMFStore) and also had a talk at Democamp Dortmund.

It’s always great to meet other Eclipse developers and every time I’m learning something new: – at Democamp Dortmund first time I got a “Hövels“:

thanks Karsten Thoms mentioning this. (@caniszczyk: if you ever plan a trip to Dortmund you should try some Hövels fortunately I had booked a hotel for that night…

Stammtisch

Because of great success of Eclipse Democamp Munich with 100+ registered attendees, Max, Jonas an I are planning an “Eclipse Stammtisch” in Munich: 2011-02-07 – please reserve the date in your calendar, we’re planning this Stammtisch at a cool location:

Unionsbräu Munich – Haidhausen – a small local brewery. (and yes: Ralph Müller will also attend

Karsten, you’re invited to try this one

To be serious: Eclipse Democamps are not only about drinking beer: you always learn from other developers experiences. I talked about Mobile and Enterprise Development using Eclipse – esp. about my experiences to develop BlackBerry Java Apps.

Christkindl Market

This december I’m enjoying the “Rosenheim Christkindl Market“: the location is directly below our living room and my home-office – so there are only some stairs to get the next “Glühwein”

Conference

December is also an important month, because the EclipseCon Program Committee is selecting the sessions and I’m sure EclipseCon will again be a great event for the Eclipse Community.

There are some proposals from me:

• Enterprise and Mobile Development
  • “Enterprise to go” – put your mobile business apps into your pocket (Standard Talk)
  • Mobile Software Development for BlackBerry using Eclipse: Lessons learned (Extended Talk)
  • “The Pusher – How do you deal with Push Services from Enterprise to mobile Devices” (Extended Tutorial)
• Modeling and More
  • Dynamic Views for Business Apps and more (Standard Talk)
  • stop writing boring (business app) unit tests (Standard Talk)
• DVCS (Distributed Version Control Systems)
  • distributed version control without the commandline (Standard Talk)

There’s also a video from EclipseCon Audit Session in Ignite format: http://www.vimeo.com/16990998
