Sun Studio preso at annual OSDevCon
The annual OpenSolaris Developer Conference (OSDevCon)  was held this year in the heart of the Czech republic- Prague, between June 25 - 27th (2008). The first day of tutorials included a free Tutorial by our own Roman Shaposhnick on "OpenSolaris- an Ultimate Development Platform ?" Roman talked about Sun Studio of course and how Sun Studio and OpenSolaris collaborate to form a stable development platform.  Heres a video of his tutorial/presentation( a complete 1hr+ preso)
Roman had two guest presenters: Adrian De Groot of KDE and Dennis Chernaivanov from Docarema. KDE uses Sun Studio for development and is very happy with the state of the tool (I had blogged about it earlier here). Docarema uses both Linux and Solaris servers as their backend

Dave Stewart, our Intel partner guy, was also there and in this blog comments on his take on Roman's presentation here. Dave provides an interesting summary of events related to Roman's tutorial and the views of the KDE and t-Bricks  developers on the strengths and concerns about using Sun Studio for development.

Seems like it was a successful conference all around!
