Presentation of the day: 'Gradle: Bringing Engineering Back to
Builds'. Gradle seems to be the cool build tool this year. I'm
always lagging a couple of years behind as I'm finally getting
comfortable with Maven.
Brian Sletten's HTML5 presentation was also pretty good.
HTML5 is here, although technically the spec is not final yet.
Ken Sipe's Continuous Delivery presentation was also good,
though in my case he was preaching to the choir. The
importance of repeatable builds, automating every step of the
process, etc.
Matthew McCullough did an interesting and thought-provoking
presentation on game theory and economics. Not about coding
so much as about managing your career or your business.
Again, IntelliJ IDEA not in sight anywhere. I think it's because
none of the presenters is actually working in the Java language
these days. Tim Berglund was using The One True Editor (Emacs),
though he mentioned that STS (what I use) has support for Gradle.
Some frustration today with multiple presentations I would have
liked to attend scheduled at the same time. It was helpful that I
could cross several presentations off due to having already seen
them at Denver JUG.
