Thanks to all of you who came along to last night's London meetup,
I think the new venue worked out,
apart from being a bit small for all of us.
Other interesting snippets I scribbled in the pub...
- Met some chaps working on dspace.org,
which is a project concerning the preservation of digital information, this stuff
is fascinating to me
- One chap has had great success in a recent Java/WebServices/C++ project
using gsoap and
webmethods glue
- Joe again recommended SableCC to me,
SableCC is a tool to create
an Abstract Syntax Tree from a document parsed using a specified grammer,
and it is definitely worth a look.
- Joe was also showing off streamlets, which
provides the ability for your web client to send and receive messages over JMS.
- Mozilla apparently has a good Javascript debugger (Venkman),
which sounds like a blessing for maintainence of the unobstrusive Javascript that peppers webapps.
- Met a couple of chaps (Philip Milne and other [sorry forgotton your name])
who are working on a subproject of Open Adaptor, called Bhavaya which
provides real-time equivalent of Hibernate.
I met lots of new faces, so apologies if I don't remember everything
from tonight. It was fantastic to see the buzz alive in London.
Please come along next month for more drinking and networking.
Thanks to all.
