Some recent presentations

The end of 2009 was fair busy travel wise for me (a mixture of holiday travel and work travel - Singapore, Byron Bay, Brisbane and Coffs Harbour) and I forgot to post some presentations I did recently that were pretty well received.

I attended the Open Source Developers Conference in Brisbane in late November, and did a couple of presentations.

On my own I presented on Complex Event Processing (best left the explanation to the slides):


I also did a (now mandatory) scala presentation with my friend Tom Lee (who I often pepper with questions of an arcane nature about scala or python). We focussed on the good and easy and fun bits of scala, and how it compares to dynamically typed languages.


Both presentations went down quite well, were well attended, and some great discussion happened. The conference was a bit quieter than last year in Sydney, but had a nicely chilled vibe (probably due to being in the bush in Bardon, just west of Brisbane city).
