.NET Meet Java (and vice versa)

Here are my notes from this session, which, BTW, is the best talk I’ve seen today. (The best yesterday was Eric Whitley’s.)

Interesting stat: 80% of the Fortune 500 use .NET.

Microsoft is committed to a January 2007 release of Excel Services for the Web, which has interesting implications for ALUI. Perhaps there’s an opportunity here for building ALUI/MS Excel integration the right way. Finally.

The .NET Application Accelerator is coming in a matter of weeks. It will expose any .NET application as a WSRP service that can be consumed by ALI or WLP.

BEAWorld 2006 General Session

Alfred Chuang (the “A” in BEA) said that 20% of BEA’s business comes from AquaLogic. He parlayed this into a nice talk about the realization of SOA. They demo’d Hiper and some other stuff that showed SOA in action using ALI and ALIP/ALBPM along with some very slick Excel integration. This really clarified how important AquaLogic is to BEA’s overall strategy.

My 15 Minutes of Fame

Well, 20 actually. I just gave my talk on taglibs to a nice crowd of about 100 people. It was very well received!

Surf’s Up

I had an excellent surf session at Linda Mar in Pacifica. Conditions were perfect — just as I remember them.

Even my rental car reminded me of Plumtree.

IN-N-OUT

You can’t make a trip to California without stopping at an IN-N-OUT. My order? A 3×3 animal and protein style. If you know what that is, you’re probably Californian!

Sunburn :-(

I spent most of the day today on the beach playing sand soccer with my brother and cousins. Now I look like a boiled lobster. I should know better being raised in California and all.
