Jazoon – Day 2

Posted in java by pedro | Wednesday, June 27th, 2007 at 12:11 am

Yesterday talks were amazing. The most interesting talk was about glassfish architecture by Jerome Doches from Sun Microsystems. He talks a lot about low level architecture of glassfish v3, and what can be interested glassfish starts in 2-3 seconds, and …. Supports rail, phobos and some others application which are no java application, and it happens automatically. Another talk was about Hibernate Search and I write more about it later because it very advance topic and I want know more about it.

JMaki also made impression on me. It is very nice framework and if I must compare it to something you know, I would choose spring framework. jMaki is something as spring but for javaScript libraries. And of course jMaki topic lands on my to-know list ;)

Others talks was also very interesting about lucene, java db and performance (it faster than MySQL !!!) and the last one was about Java Benchmarking Tool build on JUnit. If I find some time I will look closer to this topic.

The best part was BOF sessions, and I choose a two session with Neal Gafter. He is responsible for java closures specification, we are talking about it nearly two hours, and now I 100% convinced to closures in java, next topic was about java puzzlers and Neal learn us a lot. After four hours (I didn’t recognize that) I take a walk to home, that was raining but Zurich is the beautiful city I ever seen, I make some photos and go sleep. Today social event day ;)
And now I am waiting for Erich Gamma speak.

about me

My name is Sebastian Pietrowski. I've finished Warsaw University as Master degree. I started my journey with Java 1.1 with Thread and JDBC programing in 1998 as I worked for merlin.pl. In 1999 I've passed Java Programer Certificate for Java 1.2, and was solution architect of merlin.pl infrastructure when we was moving from pl/sql to J2EE. It was great performance optimization with 10 times more req/sec than in requirements and 85 times faster as original solution.

Currently I work as Expert Software Development Java at F.Hoffmann-La Roche. The company was founded in 1896 and today, Roche employs over 80.000 people. After work I'm involved in activities related to Scala/Lift, Ruby/Rails/Merb, Python/Django. This is because I try to be pragmatic also I'm focused on application performance and tuning with success in my daily work.
