July seems to have been a busy month on many fronts in the world of mobile, then again, isn’t every month? Some hardware news that tickled my fancy: The continued hubbub around the Dell Streak: you can now sign up for an ‘exclusive’ 24 hour pre-sales period. It was also spotted on engadet running Android 2.1, was slated for a ‘July end’ release; but wait… It is currently on the Dell site for sale “soon”. BlackBerry bought the “BlackPad” domain,…
Chariot’s Ken Rimple and Gordon Dickens are following in the path of several of our architects – they are becoming published authors. Both are working, along with Ben Alex, on a book for Manning, Spring Roo in Action. Here is a video interview with them. They give a brief overview of Roo and discuss why they wanted to write the book. (sorry for the link, but YouTube was giving me trouble with the embedding today.) As they said in the…
June has been a busy month for mobile, primarily because of Apple’s launch of iOS4 and the new iPhone (antenna woes and all). However, presenting an update on that would be too easy; here are a few things you might have missed in all the hubbub. CNET reported that merely weeks after Microsoft launch of Kin, they would be stopping development, and focusing on Windows Phone 7. 1 Android released 2.2 to developers with the notable additions being: Improved performance…
Maven is a build tool. I like Maven because it supports dependency management, consistent builds and a modular code base. But if you are just using Maven without using Nexus, Hudson, Sonar you are really missing out on a lot of goodness. Nexus is a Maven repository manager, Hudson is a CI server, and Sonar is a code metrics server. All three share some commons attributes: They are web-based server applications They have an open source license They are easy…

Coming to the end of our video recaps from our conference. I have had a bit of trouble with uploading from iMovie to YouTube, two of my interviews may be lost. This one is with Oleg Zhirakousky, from Springsource. He discusses Spring and SOA.
Coming to the end of the talks that need to be posted. I am hoping to make my self-imposed deadline of finishing up by the end of the weekend. This latest one is by Chariot’s own, Gordon Dickens. Gordon gave a talk on Spring Roo, a newer tool in the Spring Framework set.
Mark Fisher, a perennial speaker at Philly ETE, gives his recap on his talk. More recaps are on their way once I solve my problem uploading to YouTube from iMovie!
Of course if I had titled this talk, I would have used some other way to describe failure happening.
Hoping to get the rest of this videos up before the end of this weekend! This is much more time intensive than I imagined. Anyway, I will stop complaining. Toby DiPasquale was surprised that his room was packed for his talk on Cassandra. Our other NoSql speaker, Geir Magnusson, also had a full room. This is an area we will continue to emphasize in next year’s lineup.
