I’ve got lot’s to say but structuring it all is hard, so I’m reading up on an article about presenting that I got from my brother. One of the first things it says to to is define [...]

XP2010

Published by under Development

So last week I was lucky enough to attend XP2010 in Trondheim. It was an intense week with great people and great content. It’s kind of hard to process all this content, but it’s time to try.
After listening to the excellent advice of Ole Christian I attended the workshop of Chris Matts on Feature Injection [...]

Hibernate performance and optimization

Published by under Development,Java

Since I started working way back in the summer of 2004 I’ve been working with ORM technologies. First TopLink, and then Hibernate. I like ORM technology, but I also see the associated problems. They are incredibly complex products, and not having some resources that really understands what is happening will get you into serious trouble. [...]

The cost and benefits of cleaning up code

Published by under Development

My Javazone talks

Published by under Development,Java

My JavaZone talks are available. Sorry, only in Norwegian. I’ve scanned through them and I’m fairly satisfied with the performance. Looks like the Rules engine talk doesn’t have video of us up on the stage. Not sure what happened.
I’ll have to go through them for a little retrospective later. Let me know if you have [...]

JavaZone 2009 over

Published by under Development,Java

So the big event for Java geeks in Oslo, JavaZone, is over. I had a blast as always, and a little less people. Moving the overflow area helped a lot. The less people was a conscious choice I’ve been told, and I wouldn’t really mind even fewer. But hey, I guess there’s some economics that [...]

I have a new post on this. Go here: http://blog.f12.no/wp/2010/08/06/redommended-android-applications/
I have had my HTC Magic for a little over a month eight months now. I’m still satisfied, though I’m contemplating getting a Google Nexus One next year. I’ve updated my apps list below. Not all of them are necessary for handsets like Hero, but I’m [...]

Java migrations tools

Wow, it’s been a while. If you’re interested in good links follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/anderssv . I usually update there these days.
My talk on “Agile deployment” got accepted for JavaZone this year! I’m extremely happy, but a bit scared too. I’ll be talking about rolling out changes in a controlled manner, and [...]
