PaniPuri and Presentation Tips

Guy Kawasaki announced the result of World's Best Presentation Contest Winners. The contest ran from Mar 23 to Apr 23 2007. 2805 votes were received for the 443 entries. The blog very clearly identifies three crucial qualities of a good presentation: big fonts, big graphics and a "storytelling" orientation. The main message from the deck is clear, even in the absence of presenter.

And my favorite is about PaniPuri - IMHO the best appetizer, even a full meal to me

Here are some more resources, with consistent message, on creating effective presentations:

• Top Ten Slide Tips (Garr Reynolds)
• Build a Presentation (Presentation Pointers)
• Presenters University with lots of FREE stuff to add Wow! in your presentations.
• Screencasting Tips for Beginners
• The Other side of Presenter Skills
• Three Laptop Tricks for Better Presentation

Tango at Venetian, Las Vegas

I'll be speaking on "JAX-WS and WSIT Tangoing with .NET" at The Server Side Java Symposium, The Venetian, Las Vegas on Mar 22, 2007 from 10:10-11:10am.

WSIT provides first-class interoperability between the Web services stack in GlassFish and .NET 3.0 framework. This talk will show how Web services interoperability is baked into GlassFish and show how easy it is to create a reliable interoperable Web service using WSIT plug-in and NetBeans IDE.

The complete conference schedule is available here. If you want to attend, and convince your boss, here are top 10 reasons.

Thanks to ServerSide for sponsoring my hotel and flight. You are going to have fun learning, after all Las Vegas is the entertainment capital of the world

Sun @ Ajax World

Sun Microsystems is a silver sponsor of AJAX World Conference and Expo East 2007, Mar 19-21, New York City. Ajax Architect Greg Murray, Struts creator Craig McClanahan, and Jean Francois Arcand of Grizzly fame, all from Sun, will be speaking. Here are the topics:

• Greg is talking on Enterprise Ajax on Java
• Craig's topic is Encapsulating AJAX Functionality in JavaServer Faces Components
• Jean Francois Arcand is talking on Real-World Web 2.0 Comet-Based Applications

It seems the conference planners really like Greg a lot since they've not only featured him on their main page but given his brief bio thrice  

And his last name is "Murray", not "Murry".

All of them are great speakers. So if you are planning to attend Ajax World, I highly recommend their talk. You'll see/feel the passion.

You can get a flavor of these sessions and labs at Sun Tech Days. 

You can also view a collection of samples (run or download them) put together by Sun's Web 2.0 team. You can also look for a collection of jMaki samples here. All of these samples can be run on GlassFish.

Here are some important jMaki links:

• Value proposition
• Overall framework architecture and features
• Basic Application Structure

JavaOne 2006 Keynote WSIT Demo

A new sample is added to WSIT samples that shows an enterprise Web service enabling integration both within and across boundaries. This sample demonstrates a price quotation service that provides list price to clients based on the product identifiers. The client makes a request to a Retail Quote Service (RQS)  which then communicates with multiple Wholesale Quote Service (WQS) to get the best price and returns that to the client. In the first version of this sample, the client and all the service endpoints (RQS + 2 WQS) are built and deployed using WSIT. A later version of the sample will replace one of the WQS to be built and deployed using Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and also have a WCF client, in addition to WSIT client, invoking the RQS.

The sample demonstrates secure reliable communication between RQS and two WQS. It also demonstrates secure MTOM between the client and RQS. A picture is worth a thousand pictures and so this graphical representation should help visualize.

This sample was demonstrated in JavaOne 2006 keynote and used as the basis of my JavaOne 2006 technical session (TS-5540). In case, you need more technical details, the StarOffice version of slide has speaker notes and animation.

Instructions to check out the sample

This sample can be checked out using the instructions given here. These instructions will retrieve WSIT sources along with the sample sources as both are required to build, run and deploy the sample. The sample exists in wsit/wsit/samples/pricequote directory. Once checked out, follow the instructions in readme.html in the pricequote directory to build and deploy the sample on GlassFish.
