Steve On Java

JavaOne Latin America in Sao Paulo Brazil just ended.  It was a great event that had a huge community presence, which was responsible for selecting over 50% oft the content, and supported it throughout.

This started off on Sunday with the Geek Bike ride where over 50 geeks donned bike helmets and took over the streets of Sao Paulo.  I took plenty of photos of the event, which you can find on my steveonjava flickr account, and in the geekbikeride photostream:

The event was even bigger than last year with a 50% increase in registrations.  Also, we took advantage of the newly built out wing of the Transamerica Expo Center, which afforded much more room and newer facilities for the event.

I gave my updated presentation on JavaFX and HTML5 this afternoon, including some new updates that Felipe and I made to demonstrate calling back from a JavaScript event handler to Java code.  The full code is now available on GitHub here:

And you can see the presentation I gave in its entirety on slideshare:

This was a great start to our regional JavaOne conferences, which we will have more exciting news on soon!
