JAOO - Day 5
This is Day 5 of the JAOO. The conference ended yesterday and there are just two days of tutorials left.
First I chose to see Angelika Langer on “New Features in J2SE 5.0″ (also to support my learning for the SCJP certification). Learned some new things, found out that I had already understood some things right.
The second was “EJB 3 Persistence with OpenJPA” by Patrick Linskey and David Ezzio, which was a very good introduction into JPA (and a little EJB 3) and some additional information on the OpenJPA implementation. Same here: learned some new things, found out that I had already understood some things right. Still a great presentation (they also showed some running code samples).
And another discovery: up to today, I thought I was the only guy on the conference coming from Austria, until I met two guys from Vienna (it felt really strange directly talking to a person in the oh-so-familiar austrian dialect again). So the Austrian-Count is up to 3.
Shot some photos in the center, got the bus (Yes again!) - unfortunately the wrong one (D’oh!). Funny thing was, I noticed this when I got off the bus (at the station where I thought I would have to) and the place just didn’t look as I had expected. But I had luck this time: as I looked around I noticed that I was only some hundred meters away from my hotel.
Seems like these kind of things always happen to me when I think about something completely different while trying to do some compilicated task (like getting on the bus).
Well, I’m back in the hotel, so after The Simpsons (with danish subtitles) I might as well have another 7-Euro beer.
