filo so fi cool

I'm having loads of fun being a bum. I get to spend all day reading geeky books, playing with J2EE/J2ME platforms and listening to webinars. Yesterday I built and deployed (to my Nokia 3650 and boy's SE T616) a "Hello World" midlet. Today I'm digging into the Javapolis 2004 presentations.

A couple of weeks ago I watched a Hibernate presentation by Gavin King and heard his Australian accent, I had the same surprise today listening to Rod Johnson - Sydneyite creator of the Spring Framework and author of the two Expert One-on-one books that I own.

The buzz term "Dependency Injection" for Spring's container basically describes the homegrown framework I was working with at my last job. It's awesome to compare a design I understand with the open source version - with the advantage of the books and the community opinion for Spring.
