What a NetBeans Day!

It was good overall, and very well organised. The 3 speakers did a great job -- kudos to the evangelist team of Ashwin Rao, Chuk-Munn Lee and Petr Suchomel. We were also privileged to have James Gosling give an intro at the start of the day.

Today's session gave me a good overview of NetBeans. Lots of power, and the roadmap to NetBeans 6.0 looks great! Some of the sessions that got me excited today revolved around the NetBeans Mobility Pack, Project Matisse, JavaServer Faces, support for Subversion and JMaki.

The Malaysian crowd seemed passive (as always?). Large student crowd, considering that it was a "free" open day. Most seemed only interested in the tea break (good food!), and freebies at the end (t-shirts, CDs, stress balls)

Here are some photos from today. Not the best of shots, but hopefully better stuff from tomorrow's main event.

For once, they got my details right on the name tag:


That's Ashwin (blocked by the rostrum, LOL -- why did I take this?):


Chuk conducted two great sessions -- engaged the audience really well. He's Malaysian by the way!


Chuk showed off lots of his good "terminal" skills:


Petr gave a good overview of the Mobility Pack:


Transitions between various projectors and laptops on stage were done quite well -- kudos to the Sun team! This one shows a Sony Ericsson phone running an app that was created on the fly using the Mobility Pack:

Thanks for the reminder Tsu Lin! I don't think I'll be ruling the world too soon. Don't really want to either. A small subcontinent will do fine =)
