The second keynote of the day - this day from Thomas Volmering of SAP. It was announced as one of more practical keynotes with real world examples. How was it really?

Guillaume Laforge is my next stop in the JAX presentation route. He talks about “Practical Domain-Specific Languages with Groovy”. I’m a huge fan and supporter of DSLs believing them to be the next big thing in truly enhancing developer productivity. Since I also believe that we are just scratching on the surface of what we can achieve with DSLs I was curious about what Guillaume would have to show, especially since Groovy seems to be a pretty natural fit for many types of DSLs.

Dr. Klaus Alfter präsentiert eine Keynote zum Thema “Wie gehen wir mit der stark wachsenden Zahl von Cores in Systemen um, die sich gar nicht so leicht in Performance-Zuwächse ummünzen lassen”.

My second presentation on the JAX 2009: Jochen Seemann, CEO of MID, a former employee of Rational and Microsoft (where he worked on the DSL tools), talks about combining agility and model based approaches. I know that MID Innovator is a powerful tool for IT process modeling with UML but have never used it personally. Since my Ph.D. thesis is also concerned with model-based agile approaches I was very curious about hearing what MID is offering and believes to be the future of model-based and agile approaches.

I started my Java career as developer and architect for a project called “Informationssystem Lebensmittelüberwachung” (ILM for short, translated to English as “Information system for food surveillance”). I participated in that project from 1998 to 2000 and the main technology being used were Java Applets in order to implement an extremely feature rich and highly reactive user interface. Since then I somewhat have lost touch with Applets and browser based Java applications so I was very curious to finally get a glimpse of what JavaFX might offer to me during my JAX 2009 visit. So, what did I learn?
