The First Day – Jazoon

Posted in java by pedro | Monday, June 25th, 2007 at 3:59 am

I’ve got some problems with my trips. I’ve got a hotel in Basel, and Jazoon is in Zurich, maybe it’s not so big problem, but I don’t like waste money and time. Unfortunately there was some conferences in Zurich other than Jazoon so every hotel in town was fully occupied. When I was accepted my Basel hotel, I gave one chance, very small hotel without WIFI and others stuff. So I’ve found it. It’s in center of Zurich downtown, great place to stay and sightseeing Zurich.

I am in love in Switzerland and Zurich, and of course I was informed my wife that we move to Switzerland as soon as possible.

The keynote by Ted Neward was about languages build on top of JVM. I was very surprised because on December 2006 I’ve got similar seminary in my company. There are so many such languages and what Ted suggested to everyone is to try build your own language because it’s now very easy to do. The key features are
• Virtualization which make we can worry about memory management and others low-level stuff.
• Tools which helps us build parsers, AST, provide us opportunity to modify byte code.
I certainly try write my own language.

Now waiting for Aaron Digulla speech about what wrong with java.

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.
