Gateway Software Symposium
Well, the conference is under way and I had a great first day speaking. After three back-to-back talks, I’m ready to give my voice a break! But I had a fun time and there were lots of good questions from the audience. There were a couple that stumped me – I’m trying to remember some of them but they’ve all blurred together now. If you had one, please post it here in a comment and I’ll do my best to track down the answer for you.
I was quite negligent in not getting my slides onto the conference materials USB drive, but here you can find the code examples used in all of my talks this weekend:
- Java Collections API – code
- Exploring Terracotta – code
- Cluster Your Cache with Terracotta and Hibernate – code
- Design Patterns Reconsidered – code
Probably my favorite part of the day today was catching up with old friends and colleagues and meeting new people. Good to see you all!

Hi! My name is Alex Miller and I live in St. Louis. I write code for a living and currently work for
Great to see you, Alex… The Collections API talk was a great kickoff for the weekend — it seems like 2 weeks ago now. I’m in the NFJS hangover zone.
Looking forward to the Terracotta presentation at the StL JUG next week.
