Roger Brinkley at Just Java 2008

This year Just Java 2008 (a very important Brazilian Java conference) was remarkable, due to the presence of Roger Brinkley (the gentleman playing golf on the stage, below) - who is a Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems and the Mobile & Embedded Community Leader at java.net.

Roger attended our congress to talk about several subjects concerning Java ME development:

• Phone ME project
  
• LWUIT project
  
• Java Mobile, Media & eMbeeded Developer Days

In the picture below Roger attached a Sun Spot device at the end of his club and measured his "swing" in the graphics on the left.

Not only did he brought essential and up to date information to our community, but also interview Brazilian ME project developers, in order to disseminate such initiatives through Java Mobility Podcast.

In this context Diamond Powder was presented to him, and we discussed the project in a interview, released on Java Mobility Podcast.

In the next post I'll show a Time Sheet project, based on Diamond Powder, that was shown to Roger and used as example to present Diamond Powder to the Brazilian Java Community during the congress.

Just Java 2008

From September 10th to 12th, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the congress Just Java 2008 will take place.
This year I'll be presenting two talks with Wagner Santos:

• Java EE 6 / EJB 3.1 and the future of Enterprise Java
• Diamond Powder - Open Source Productivity with Java ME

PSP Adventure

Yesterday one of my students, Diego, brought his PSP (PlayStation Portable) to the class, and we had the opportunity to register Diamond Powder doing its job, through a PSP KVM.

We used the Fuel Control sample application, and the following details came up:

• The responsiveness was very good, particularly in the brands filter screen;

• In the absence of a keyboard this KVM implementation offers a virtual keyboard;

• The LCDUI support takes advantage of the wide screen - the same didn't happen with some Java ME games, restricted to the screen right half.

There is a video capture right below.

Thanks Diego !
