This Saturday we’ve (the Software Craftsmanship in Cracow guys) organized a Code Retreat, right after AgileCE. We’ve invited Corey Haines to join us and facilitate this meetup, and later on even Alexandru Bolboaca AND Maria Diaconu joined us in facilitating the event and so it got even better :-) Before we start, just a quick reminder [...]

This conference review will be a little different from what I’m usually posting. The thing is that ACE was really most about the networking and exchanging ideas with other interesting people. It really felt “open” (no, I won’t be overusing the word “agile” here – don’t worry ;-)). The speaches where also on a very [...]

Yup, I’m now an happy owner of an Amazon Kindle. In case you don’t know what it is (…how’s that even possible…?) it’s an ebook reader. One of that kind we’ve been waiting for a loooong time now – with an e-ink display and free internet access etc etc… Here’s an super quick review of [...]

As this years WARSJawa looked very interesting since it’s been annouced. I immediatly decided to go there – and tried to convince some friends to go with me. In the end, 2 friends came with me: Andrzej Grzesik (from PolishJUG) and Temporal – a LISP/Erlang hacker from my university ;-) We had to ride out [...]

After I came back to Poland this week I had an bazillion of things to do… Now it’s just getting even more but I’ll try survive this. One additional time-taker this week was this years Java Developers’ Day. In fact, it should have been renamed and I’m very wondered that it wasn’t to: “Java Developer [...]

At last I was able to attend one of the NOSQL Summer meetings. It’s topic yesterday was “Paxos made simple” (this paper by Leslie Lamport (wikipedia entry about him)). We also found this document from Google Labs very interesting and usefull during the discussion – Paxos Made Live – An Engineering Perspective (Tushar Chandra, Robert [...]

Yup, last Saturday we’ve had yet another JavaCamp in Cracow. It was in my opinion the best yet – mostly due to our awesome speakers. One could call this “JavaCamp” an “ScalaCamp” if you think about it – as most of the topics (3/4) where mostly about scala (AKKA is avaiable as both Java and [...]

So the long awaited GeeCON 2010 has come to an end yesterday. Of course I was there, and had quite an amazing time there yet again. Here’s, as usually, a small review/roundup of al the three days GeeCON lasted. It’s been really fun, as I was not only attending all the sessions but hanging around [...]

Amazing days and awesome people It’s been some amazing days for me during (and before) the NBPTraining. As you probably know already – I’ve been the “one-man-army” behind the organization and basically everything around this training. I got lots of help from various people, such as Dr Jarosław Wąs (from KN Glider) – it wouldn’t [...]

10 Kwietnia 2010, odbył się trzeci już, organizowany przez PJUG na terenie AGH, JavaCamp. Niestety tego samego dnia, około godziny 9:00 doszło do katastrofy polskiego samolutu z b. ważnymi osobami rządowymi i nie tylko Polski… Trudno jest sprawę opisać słowami i chyba każdy wie o czym mowa, także podobnie jak na JavaCampie, pozostawiam to w chwili ciszy [...]
