JAX Conf 2012 RichFaces represented at the “2012 JAX conference”:http://jaxconf.com/2012/ in San Francisco this week. I presented three times on two JSF topics. The conference was overall a great success in my opinion - while not the most highly attended conference at which I’ve presented, those that attended were highly engaged and happy to have such direct access to the speakers. Indeed this was one of my preferred aspects to JAX conf.
I just returned from an excellent trip to the “Red Hat Summit/JBoss World”:http://www.redhat.com/summit/ in Boston. The event was fantastic, kicking off with a great “keynote”:http://www.redhat.com/summit/sessions/keynotes-sessions.html#12345 demoing “Drools”:http://www.jboss.org/drools/ in a Mobile scenario. Following the keynote were a number of great sessions, including one I presented on the topic of “Mobile RichFaces Applications”:http://www.redhat.com/summit/sessions/jboss.html#187. The session was well received, with some good discussion afterwards. In the session I motivated mobile web applications as a must-have in today’s market - users’ will want and expect a functional web application even if your native application is better.
