Shaka Devoxx

I'm back from the annual Devoxx conference, a fun and thoroughly exhausting week in Antwerp spent presenting, attending, and generally hanging out. It's always a great time, despite the weather and the overall grayscale cityscape.



This picture from the show was taken during one of my sessions when I was either talking about a GUI frame or saying hello to my Hawaiian friends.





I presented in several sessions, including 4 sessions with Romain Guy about Android and UI programming and one on topics from my book, Flex 4 Fun. I spent most of the week either on stage or writing slides and demos to present on stage. There's nothing like procrastination to keep you busy at the last minute.



For anyone that missed the presentations, see below about their availability on parleys.com. We may also post the slides someday, although it's always better to get the full deal (slides+audio+video). Also, I intend to post a couple of the demos I showed in the Android talks (the Flex demos are already available on the book site).



The sessions this year were, as always, recorded and will be released on parleys.com, an excellent site for viewing presentations with lots of content from previous years as well as other developer forums. The talks are released incrementally during the year for free, or you can buy a subscription to view them all for 79 Euros. In fact, parleys just announced that the 2009 recordings are now all available and all free. The talks and the recordings are of very high quality, so you should check out the site..



Anyway, thanks to Stephan Janssen for another great conference. Shaka!

Austerity-A Fancy Word for Destitute.

The reason for this post is not for the folks who have been caught in the first wave of personal economic hard reality, but the next wave. Regardless of the optimism espoused by grinning leaders and sycophant press, we are entering the final stage of global economic collapse. It began in 2008 and was forestalled for five years with fudge putty, but the weight of global indebtedness cannot be propped any longer and the final crunch is imminent. Austerity measures herald the final throes.  Indications of coming austerity.   Austerity measures are the final last ditch effort, futile or not! Back in the day many of us old-timers went through periods of "hard-times". In retrospect I realize there is no comparison to yesteryear hard times and today's version. Back then, expectations were never very high for the working class, there were no sophisticated systems or conveniences anyway. In fact the difference between being "set" or not was about having treats or not. Si...
