As some of you may be aware, I recently joined the well-respected US based No Fluff Just Stuff (NFJS) Tour. The NFJS series Lone Star Software Symposium was held July 18 - 20 in Austin, Texas. The Austin show is one of the smaller ones but still was good overall. It is one of the few events of it's kind that take place this part the country so it is extremely important.
I had three talks total over two days, more or less back-to-back. I had decent attendance for all my sessions and had many of the same folks staying for multiple sessions which is always a very good sign. I did talks on Java EE 7/Java EE 8, the Cargo Tracker Java EE Blue Prints and JMS 2. More details, including slide decks and code as well as my NFJS tour schedule, posted on my personal blog.
