NightHacking
NightHacking Worldwide Event with Brian Goetz
On January 16th, I will be holding a worldwide hack day with Brian Goetz and Stuart Marks on Java 8 lambdas. This will be a 3 hour lab on Java 8 lambdas kicked off with a live streamed presentation from Brian Goetz. Brian and Stuart will stay for the duration to answer questions and help with the lab, and we will have other surprises in store for the live stream.
J-Fall Videos and NightHacking at Devoxx
Next week at the Devoxx conference I will be live streaming from the pavilion with an all-star cast of Devoxx speakers.
NightHacking on Devices, Bytecodes, and Kids!
At the upcoming J-Fall event I will be live streaming from the balcony with 3 different special guests. Gerrit will be showing some of his latest hacking with JavaFX on the Raspberry Pi, Jan Kees will give us some "real" hacking with Java on bytecodes, and we will close out with Saskia on the Devoxx4Kids Netherlands event she helped to run last week.
Devoxx 4 Kids Netherlands
I was invited to speak at the Devoxx 4 Kids Netherlands event, so I dropped in right after my Gosling interview. This was literally right after Hawaii. I had only 24 hours at home between events, which was just enough time to put the finishing touches on Lego Duke version 6.1 (the replacement for the one stolen in San Francisco).
NightHacking Gosling Recording Wrap-up
Finished the live stream with James Gosling this morning, and have posted it in all the usual places including the new NightHacking website and the Java Youtube channel. I ended up editing out a few small portions due to feedback in the audio recording, but overall it came out pretty good.
NightHacking Photos of Robots, Boats, and the Father of Java
I got quite a lot of great photos the past couple days while hanging out with James Gosling and the rest of the Liquid Robotics staff in Hawaii. Some of these will make it in to the live video stream a few hours from now, but it is interesting to see the aquatic robots up close.
NightHacking with Gosling on the Big Island
Jfokus Stage Live Stream
Jfokus is the premiere Java conference in Northern Europe, and the final destination on the Nordic NightHacking Tour. I will be live streaming the activities on the Jfokus stage all day next Tuesday (Feb 5th) and Wednesday (Feb 6th).
Top 5 Reasons to Hack in Iceland
I had a great team hacking with the JUGICE members in Iceland last night as the first stop on the Nordic NightHacking Tour. They created some pretty cool projects in JavaFX for the Raspberry Pi within only a few hours (many of whom had never tried JavaFX before):
Nordic NightHacking Tour Schedule
With the trip coming up in a week, I figured it was about time to put the full event itinerary in one place. For this I created a public Nordic NightHacking Google Calendar containing all of the events along with links to sign-up.
NightHacking Nordic Tour
My last NightHacking tour through Europe was a huge success, but I missed a big part of Europe. The farthest North I was able to go was the United Kingdom, which means I missed all the Scandinavian countries, Iceland, and Finland.
The NightHacking Tour Concludes – What is Next?
I just finished my NightHacking Tour across Europe. In 3 weeks, I hit 2 conferences, 5 user groups, and did over 30 interviews with NightHackers in 7 different countries.
NightHacking at Devoxx Schedule
In addition to the sessions I am giving at Devoxx, I also lined up an all-star set of speakers to have interviews with at Devoxx. I will be running these Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning (CET).
What You Have Been Missing on the NightHacking Tour...
If you haven't been watching the live stream of the NightHacking Tour, you have been missing out on a lot of geeky fun.
NightHacking Munich JUG Event
I just finished up a live session with the Munich JUG that was organized by Toni Epple. We started out with group introductions, and did an overview of JavaFX on the desktop and embedded platforms. There were lots of good questions about JavaFX support on mobile platforms, deployment of JavaFX, and real-world companies using JavaFX (but to find the answers you will have to watch the live stream):
NightHacking with James Gosling
James Gosling, the original Java NightHacker (see his great blog at http://nighthacks.org/), will be joining me this Wednesday to kick off the NightHacking Tour on a live video stream. This is a chance to watch James live and interact with him via the social stream (via UStream or by tweeting with #nighthacking) as we chat, hack, and discover some of the things he has been working on in his new gig at Liquid Robotics.
NightHacking Tour - The Road to Devoxx
From October 28th through November 11th I am going to be traveling by motorcycle across Europe and live-streaming events and interviews along the way. This includes the J-Fall and Devoxx conferences as well as an all-star line-up of interviews, including the following geeks:
