David Hussman at Omaha Java Users Group!

October 28th, 2008

Live Broadcast by Ustream.TV

The Omaha Java User’s Group moved their regularly scheduled 3rd Tuesday meeting to Monday, Oct 20th so that David Hussman would be able to pass his wisdom to us. He’s a consultant on agile practices and offered three talks for our approval. “Pragmatic Agility” was the talk that won the general consensus. David is an engaging speaker that spoke from experience. His talk was engaging and witty. The honesty was refreshing in that he was not preaching agility, but rather ask yourself the questions of why you should do it. He explained forcing agility down people’s throats was not the way and neither was being dogmatic. His presentation style was different from what we have seen. The slides had few words and mainly pictures. The agile movement needs more David, his talk came off like a conversation instead of a sales pitch.

We are still working out the kinks on ustream…tried to record this presentation, but it looks like it didn’t record correctly… it did stream well though!

Advanced Erlang at Omaha Dynamic Language Users Group

October 14th, 2008

Sam Tesla gave an awesome talk about Advanced Erlang at tonight’s Dynamic Language Users Group.  He specifically jumped into ejabberd, a popular Jabber server built in Erlang.  Sam also brought a number of his coworkers from the very awesome Engine Yard, a Ruby on Rails hosting company based in San Francisco.

We tried to record the whole thing on ustream.tv, the very awesome online self-published video tool.  Unfortunately it was a bit spotty, and so the talk is broken into a few pieces.
