It has already been over week since I got back from Seattle, where I attended the Open Source Summit NA in the beautiful convention centre. In the same trip I also presented at the Data Engineer Things group’s inaugural meeting in Bellevue. Both events were very successful for Starburst as sponsor of my trip, Trino as the open source SQL query engine I talk about, and myself as a learning participant in many talks and great conversations.
(more…)Today I am pleased to announce that I have been working with O’Reilly to launch a training course about using Presto for beginners. Your first opportunity to join me in Presto First Steps is coming your way in November 2020.
(more…)I have been watching the FLOSS Weekly video podcast on and off for many years now. It was a special treat to be a guest of Randal yesterday. Together with Dain Sundstrom we talked about Presto and tried to answer the questions from Randal, co-host Simon Phipps and the audience on the live chat. It was great to be a guest and spread the word about Presto and our book Presto: The Definitive Guide.
Check out the recording on TWIT now!
Talking to them made me think of the open source efforts for Java and my attendance of Java One and chatting with Simon then. Time flies!
Just a quick heads up that I will be presenting about Apache Maven usage for Android development in an updated version from my Vancouver presentation at the Google Technology User Group in Barcelona, Spain on the 10th of September. I look forward to the event and will let you know here how things went 😉

I just came back from the presentation and uploaded the presentation file now (Maven Android Introduction GTUG Barcelona). The rest of the resources is available as part of the Maven Android Plugin Samples and the Roboguice project. The meeting itself was fun. There were over 30 other geeks in attendance and the presentation was regularly interrupted with laughter and questions, so I assume it was well received. I hope everyone learned a bit and will give Maven and Android a spin and send us some feedback.
After attending Maven 201 recently and really enjoying it, I am attending Maven 101 from Sonatype today. Lets see if all my base r belong to me 😉

So yesterday I went over to Vancouver to present about Apache Maven and how it can be used for Android application development. There were about 20 people in the audience with a very wide range of exposure to Android development and Apache Maven. From my impression and the feedback on the meeting site everybody has learned something and had a good time. Just in case you missed it the Apache Maven and Android Development presentation slides are now available in PDF format. There is definitely a desire to introduce more power in the build process for Android application development and Maven is able to deliver that to many users.:
I am pretty happy with feedback like
At the upcoming April 2010 meeting of the Vancouver Island Java User Group I will present about the Android operating system from the Open Handset Alliance. By now everybody with some technology interest has probably heard about that Google phone and Android, but there are still lots of open questions like…
