Devoxx, day 5
December 17, 2008 in reports by Duchess
Today was a short day. I only visited two out of three sessions, as I didn’t see anything interesting in the third slot. The first presentation was on ActionScript for Java Developers by James Ward and Chet Haase, where they showed us how alike ActionScript was to Java and what the differences were. Very well done.
The second presentation was by Simon Ritter who had once again indulged in some woodworks to create a beautiful demo of a multi-touch screen with JavaFX. He easily filled up the entire hour by explaining the steps he had taken to create it, so we could all make one for ourselves.
And then it was time to get some chocolate and head for home again.
A one-line summary of all of Devoxx? If you haven’t been there yet: do so! You’ve really missed out on the wonderful presentations, both educating and entertaining, and also on the wonderful atmosphere.
