Lessons learned on the web layer

I am leaving an intense week behind: first, I just posted my Lessons learned on the web layer slides for Open Java Day.



This has been my first, and it has been an amazing experience. Great conversation during lunch, and some Ribeiro and AlbariƱo drinks on Friday that left some photos I surely will regret when they get online... At the end, I got out with a few contacts and a lot of new friends. Totally worth it.

On related news:

PARTY TIME!!!

LOOM 1.0 IS OUT! (well, it's the first release candidate, but bear with me anyway). I have invested a couple of full-time months getting everything in place before the talk, and though there is still room for improvement you have to cut the release somewhere. So this is it.

I am not suggesting that anybody should _use_ it, not until it grows some community, but I would be grateful for any kind of feedback: what are you missing in it, what may be cut out, and why. If you feel like giving it a try, go to the new demo - which, I must say, does not look like java at all.

P.S.: You cannot possibly imagine how we are living the Euro Cup results here in Spain. It's crazy ^_^

Yeah, congratulations on the Euro Cup winning, it was well deserved. I was in Portugal last Sunday and even the portuguese would cheer for Spain!

Can you imagine 10-year olds shouting on the streets the current score during the breaks? People with flags painted on their faces watching the game in a pub - I mean, they are not even at the field!

It has been crazy, but a reasonable reaction after 44 years of waiting :)
