I’m going to be speaking at the No Fluff Just Stuff (NFJS) tour this weekend in Austin, Texas. Here are my sessions: two on concurrency, two on GORM/Grails. This is my first “full load” conference—I’m basically talking all day Sunday! Should be a blast.
I’ve been positioning myself and my career to join the NFJS tour since I saw David Hussman and Venkat Subramaniam present at a Minneapolis symposium. If you take a look at this software symposium’s schedule, you can see why the NFJS tour rocks and why I wanted to join: talks on core Java dev practices and Agile development by great presenters who you know are actually going to teach you something, boundary pushing talks on advanced Java technologies (concurrency, Spring, GWT), and a sprinkling of those truly cutting edge tools that have entered the realm of the practical (Clojure, Scala, SPARQL, iPhone/Java). And the people on the tour really, really know their stuff.
It looks like there are still slots, so you should definitely register if you’re anywhere near Austin. And if you’re going to be around Austin Sunday evening, let me know and we can hang out (I fly out Monday morning).
I’ve attached Jared Richardson’s interview with Jay Zimmerman about the NFJS tour and its surrounding community and brand to the EnfranchisedMind podcast feed: it’s a pretty interesting and open conversation. A second interview can be retrieved on the NFJS Podcast feed. The NFJS Podcast should not be confused with the NFJSOne podcast.
