This evening, the London java meetup went extremely well, thanks to all the tech-heads that turned up. I'll put some pictures up on the main page, all taken by Mr. Purdy, who delighted the crowd with his coherence after many beers. (isn't it a crime to blog from the pub Mr.P?)
Unfortunately because we hit double figures in attendance, I found myself timeslicing between most conversations and won't have my usual splurdge for you, but this is what I did pick up...
Pratik - (Raible's) AppFuse, and how he's gonna take it to the next level.
Richard - JFreeChart is really very, very useful.
Charles - SLEE is interesting to look at... (JAIN related, I'll google for this stuff later)
Sam - Has an irresistable urge to share anything he learns with the world.
Max - is going to have a look at blogmento, yay a potential user, now for the rest of ya...
The debate between web frameworks hotted up, with struts and webwork2 slugging it out, no idea who's winning... Has anyone out there actually used both, and can give an objective overview of the differences, mostly in regard to the code creation and ongoing code maintainence of these two?
I can't remember much more, but I had such a good time that it doesn't matter.
Cheers for turning up lads, maybe we'll do lunch sometime...
