As part of Sun's university relations, seven Sun engineers- Vadiraj, Varun, Blessen, Lawrence, Nirmal, Gautham and yours truly
went to Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore during the past
weekend for a multi-track technology talks on Java ME, GlassFish,
MySQL, JavaFX, Open Solaris Virtualization technologies.
There were three parallel tracks:
There were three parallel tracks:
- J2ME, GlassFish, MySQL- which form a nice combination of Client, Middleware and Database technologies and our (Vadiraj, Varun and Me) idea was to give hints here and there to the students how to bring all the three technolgies to develop applications and how each fits into the holistic idea. My MySQL slides are available here.
- JavaFX
- Open Solaris Virtualization technologies
It was a hot Sunday, thought not enough keep the ever enhusiastic students in their dorm rooms, ofcourse. All the sessions were well attended and I am sure this Sun Tech Day at VIT will lead to more awareness and adoption of the technologies among Students 
It was great to meet folks like Rohit (whom I had 'met a day earlier via Twitter), Aditya Kochar, Ram and few others. These students ensured everything was set up for the day.
It was a nic trip, especially amusing being the fact that there is a functional public railway track which runs through the campus of VIT, Vellore.
