JavaPolis 2005

I will be speaking at JavaPolis in Belgium in less than two weeks. I hope to see some of you there. I'll be doing a Creator talk from 3:30 to 6:30 on Monday Dec 12th. Wow, three hours... Seems like a lot but I bet time will fly by. It certainly did during my Creator demo at NetBeans day where I only had one hour. Here's the agenda:

NetBeans has a strong presence too.

Media Player

Marco has developed a JSF component which lets you embed a media player in your web pages. Given that it's a media player, not a simple HTML include, you can control the player url etc. from java code in the page bean. See Marco's blog for more - and note that there's an installable component library inside the distribution file (which also contains all the source code).

Here's something you can play with that media player: Sun Developer Network, SDN, has started a monthly developer TV channel featuring interviews and topic segments. The first show aired two weeks ago - but of course you can download and view the video anytime. The first program was directed at college students and talked about how to get into the industry. I'm one of the interview subjects.
