JavaZone talk: The Elevator Pitch

So I got my talk accepted for JavaZone this year (Norwegian description and link). Scary and exciting. 🙂

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 the elevator pitch. So here goes.

Integration is too complex, and it need not be. Make integration an every day thing by adhering to simple and clear principles. Trying to use technology to buy your way out of it will only add complexity and solve very few of your real problems.

I might try to develop other parts of the talk here too. This is just a draft, I’d love any viewpoints. Thanks. 🙂

Smidig 2009 and my talk

Smidig 2009, Norways very own Agile conference was held on October 22nd and 23rd. I have attended it earlier, and this year I was one of the organizers. The entire experience has been excellent, though a lot of work. Others were working a lot more than me, and I reall have to give them credit for beeing such a positive and active crowd.

Tandberg did an excellent effort of providing us with the video equipment, and enabled us to make the videos available. Even though sometechnical difficulties resulted in loosing some talks (mine included), they did an excellent job, and a big thank you to them.

I held a talk on agile deployment (again), due to some last minute cancellations.

Because my talk was lost I decided to put some details here on how you could get the material if you are interested. So:

My own company, Capgemini had 7 talks, which was a really good effort. To see other videos (Norwegian only) go to http://tcs.java.no .

My Javazone talks

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 some feedback.

Here they are:
