The Coolest Thing I Saw at JavaUK06...

The coolest thing I saw on the JavaUK06 conference was the brand new Sun workstation which should be available during this year. It's just so impressive. It has two dual core CPUs (!), up to 16 GB RAM, with many slots for disc raids. Unlike some older workstations it is *not* noisy, actually it's quite silent and I was able to put my hand inside the workstation and even with such CPU power it was cold! The internal design looks just awesome - very clean and functional. And they say it shouldn't be expensive - very exciting. I just can't wait to try Doom 3 or Halflife 2 on this workstation :)

I didn't have much chance to visit sessions except for Martin Brehovsky's mobility session. Next to giving my speech I was mostly at the pod - it was an interesting experience. I found out I do not know so many things about NetBeans - people ask all kinds of questions - the one which got me was: does NetBeans support SNMP? ;) So many things to learn and so few time. And I got lots of feedback on what should be improved in NetBeans.

I hope everyone enjoyed the conference, I certainly did. People love the new T-shirts, when they found out I give away the T-shirts just for an answer on a question about IDEs they were gone quite fast ;) It was funny, I asked: "Which IDE do you use and how are you satisfied with it?" and some developers were quite afraid to say Eclipse, but I told them it's of course fine if they use Eclipse and they got the T-shirt as well (and they got a NetBeans 5.0 CD with it, hehehe). Now it's time to enjoy London a bit and prepare for my next stop: Brazil!

P.S. I didn't take pictures, but James Branam from Creator and Vincent Brabant did so I am sure they'll share them. Vincent, it was very nice to meet you finally and to talk about NetBeans!
