Stars were glowing at JDC 2010

Since this blog was starting to be full of ghosts, i said that i must break the silence by some quick post.

Last Saturday I attended the JDC 2010 (Java Developer Conference) which is organized by EGJUG , I attended the last JDC which was at 2008 and it was pretty good and after looking at the agenda of 2010, i just couldn’t resist :)

Most of the sessions were quite interesting, i got to know some of the new technologies and made some good contacts with great people in the industry here in Egypt.

I also bought an excellent book “Secrets of the Rock Star Programmers” by Ed Burns who was a speaker at the conference (and he was also a speaker at 2008), and he signed it for me ;) , Thanks Ed.

After the conference we had a quick visit to Google :)

Actually that was at the Google Booth :) , Some of the Google guys were there like AbdelKarim Mardini showing the new Nexus one and some other cool stuff.

A lot of interesting people was there like Sang Shin, Fred Sauer, also from Egypt Mohammed El-Refaey whom i really enjoyed talking to.

So in the end, it was a pretty good day and meeting a lot of my friends added a tasty flavour to the mixture, JAK Shabab.

Time to move on and finish that piles of work to do !
