My first conference
Friday, September 26th, 2008Being a developer at my place of work definitely has it perks. I get to spend most of my days surrounded by brilliant and helpful people that truly love what they do and who are enthusiastic about sharing what they know. No matter what question I have, there is always someone I can ask. Who [...]
Mainframed?
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Some weeks ago, one of my co-workers expressed frustration that her attempts at trying to convince a company to send employees to the JAOO conference had failed. The guys there are doing AS/400 mainframe programming and didn’t really have any interest in going to Aarhus for the 3 JAOO days, probably because JAOO doesn’t feature [...]
Trends in the IT field
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008As a member of the Program Committee for JAOO for several years now, I have seen many developments in our field. It always amazes me how some trends burn out quickly as passing fads and some stay, and it is not obvious which lie in which category.
Take Aspect-Oriented Programming, for instance. It was the new [...]

Monday, July 21st, 2008JAOO Rocks. Well, of course I’m going to say that – this is the JAOO Community blog, which has the job of communicating interesting information to those that already know that JAOO rocks, and to those that don’t yet…

Why do I keep coming back as a speaker at JAOO Aarhus?
Tuesday, July 8th, 2008First of all, I love Denmark. I was fortunate to spend a year in this wonderful country from mid-2000 to mid-2001, so I look for any chance to return. JAOO offers a lot, all on its own, however! You wouldn’t think that a conference in a small town in a small country could provide so [...]

Normally you would have to pay to attend JAOO, but as a student you have [...]

JAOO 2008: Format Changes
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Introducing half-day tracks and long-talks
One of the new things in our 2008 conferences (Brisbane, Sydney and Århus) is that we’re modifying the format slightly. For many years we’ve run very stringently in full day tracks, each track having one specific topic and being located in one specific room for the entire day. We [...]
