What I’m into right now

I thought I’d post updates on what I’m interested in, to give a glimpse of what I’m looking into and have moved away from. Perhaps I’ll have enough data to create a graph someday 🙂

Up and coming

• Neo4J – A graph store – no more ORMappings
• Qi4J – A composite development framework, a new way of writing Java applications, a way of life
• Groovy GRAILS – Excellent for prototyping Java stuff
• Mercurial – When thinking different, why not Version Control as well?
• Swing Appframework, Java6u10 – Propably the next big thing in Rich Internet Applications
• Visualization of graphs – Am looking for a nice, easy API for creating several hierarchical trees that I can drag and manipulate
• Amazon EC2 – Java enabled servers on demand!
• Twitter, Blog, IRC -New (and revisited) ways of communicating intra-project/company
• javaBin, JavaZone – Working with the JavaZone conference for a year was damn fun!
