Hmmm...
Now, it's finished, so it's time to give a report card, right?
Yep, my overall report card for the conference? B-
Why B- not B+ or A or C?
Well, I like some parts of the conference including Wednesday night live concert at the Treasure Island. I got quite a lot of stuffed animals for my kids, even though I couldn't carry them all :-)
Key note speech was pretty boring, all the same sales-talk,,,, :-(
Hands-on labs were terrible - too little time to do anything, running short of time and ended up being kicked out due to the next session... man!!!
Meal (lunch) was awful - dry sandwiches and some cheap stuff in the box.
A lot of speakers at the conference didn't seem to be so confident about their products - whether they were QA, director of product, or programming managers.
Waiting for the bus to go to Treasure Island was like waiting in eternity. But, I liked the music there. And also I liked the live music during lunch on Thursday. I also liked the schedule - there was 30 min breaks between all sessions so I didn't have to run all day long - it would have been so terrible, otherwise.
Demoground and exhibitions were not so bad. There were free games all day - in particually, I liked the basketball game.
Do I recommend this conference? Maybe. It's better than JavaOne. But, there are lots of room to improve...
