Hello World! The "Java Posse Hello World Tour 2007" is about to kick off :-) Carl, Dick and I are heading to Norway next week for JavaZone, where we'll do a live session as well as hopefully get some great interviews and just have fun. I'm also doing a talk on Ruby Tooling.
Joe can't make it - he works on the web store at Apple, and apparently they're busy selling stuff! We're also going to JavaPolis in Belgium in December. I'm not sure if I'll be able to go yet, but the other three guys are confirmed.
If any of you will be at JavaZone next week, please say hi!
Here's our world tour poster, courtesy of Oliver Widder:
New Demo Screencasts Available
NetBeans.tv was recently launched. It's a community site where you can view, upload and rate videos related to NetBeans, such as demos and tutorials, interviews, and so on.
Cindy Church has recorded and edited together three demos where I show NetBeans and the Ruby support.
-
The JavaOne Demo (9 minutes). This is roughly the same outline I followed for the demo in James Gosling's keynote at JavaOne this year. It's a demo which shows both Java and Ruby editing capabilities as I create some JPA entity classes in Java, and then proceed to access these from a Rails application using JRuby.
- You can download a higher resolution version of the video here (120Mb).
- The demo script is available here.
- Code completion (2 minutes). In this brief demo I show some simple code completion scenarios for Ruby. You can also download a higher resolution version (27 Mb) of the video. I was winging this demo (without a script) so I didn't spend much time on the various types of code completion, but take a look at this blog entry where I get into a bit more detail. Also note that the code completion documentation has some additional smarts to it above what rdoc gives you, described here.
- Quick Fixes (3½ minutes). In this demo I show some of the quick fixes available for Ruby. Some additional hints were added after the demos were recorded - take a look at this wiki page for an up to date list. You can also download a higher resolution version (44 Mb) of the video.
Seeing myself on the video screen makes me super happy that Java Posse is an audio-only podcast!
A big thanks to Cindy Church and Mike Quillman who did all the hard work on these demos.
