Yup, it’s time for another JavaCamp “review”.
This time I was able to attend the whole thing, and didn’t miss the pizza – well, I just got one slice since we were so busy talking about Google’s Android with other programmers… ;-) The agenda was shorter than last time, but it still “had it’s moments”:

Yeah! It’s time for another great JUG meeting. I’ll have to go quite far this time, as it’ll be in Poznań and that’s about 7h by train from Cracow… but at the very moment I saw who was going to be there, that is: Geertjan Wielenga (whose blog I’ve been reading for a long long [...]

Yup, following my recent trend to spend all the money from birthdays and other occasions where I get my hands on some cash on books/meetings/training, for Christmas I ordered two great (and more or less up to date (it’s about 2.5 and not 1.x as the books that I already have)) books about Java.

This week I went to the “12th Śląsk Java User Group Meeting” in Gliwice (12 Spotkanie Śląskiej Grupy Użytkowników Java) (which is like 90min away from my hometown Cracow), but it was really worth the ride! Sadly I got there 30min late, and thus missed the intro but the rest of the presentation was really [...]
