Soul Power

After I got started holding presentations at conferences at Devoxx last year, this autumn will get really packed with presentation dates. I will kick of the season at GearConf in Düsseldorf. On Thursday Oct. 1st I will speak about increasing developer productivity with Mylyn. During development of Hades Mylyn became an indispensable tool to get work done, to keep a controlling eye on relations between commits, changesets and what got done why. I will continue at GearConf on Friday Oct. 2nd intoducing Sonar, a tool to control and monitor code quality. It’s yet another tool that is really handy developing Hades and all other projects I am involved in and keep their code’s quality on a continued high level.

After that I will kick of Hades autumn tour on October 27th at this year’s The Server Side Java Symposium in Prague, Czech Republic, which I already mentioned here. The tour will be interrupted by the IBM Rational Software Conference 2009 in Düsseldorf where I will present Skyway Builder, a tool to create Spring based web applications in a model driven way. A key focus of this talk will (as the name of the conference suggests) the integration into IBM Rational, esp. UML to Code and vice versa features. We at Synyx are consulting partner of Skyway Software to care for european customers and users of the community edition of Skyway Builder.

The conference autumn will be closed with a talk at a conference I already really enjoyed last year: Devoxx 2009. I was invited to hold a 45 minute session during the “Tools in Action” track at the University day. I really look forward to all of these talks. If you ocassionally attend one of the events, feel free to say hello and discuss thoughts. See you there!
