As one of my plan for my leave this time, I attended the Java Technology Forum organized by Sun Microsystem at Hotel Nikko, Kuala Lumpur. Although it was a short afternoon session from 1.40pm till 5.40pm, it was a beneficial session, I have no regret in attending it.
It was not a session that I grab some new technical knowledge, but I also managed to meet up many people, including my ex-juniors from MMU (Alex, Ee Boon, Alvin Goh, Billy Yeo), my ex-course mates from MMU (Bobo, Khai Wei), ex-senior from MMU (Tuan), ex-colleague from industrial training company (Chee Woei). Besides, I managed to have a short chat the Chief Operation Officer of a rapidly growing company (in which not convinient for me to expose its name). In fact the company is in the process of recruiting since they just got grant from MDC. If anyone interested, I am willing to pass you the contact of the person in charge.
Anyway, the real gain was on the technical input from the forum. The focus of the forum was on J2SE 5 (code name Tiger), which is the newly released J2SE; the Web Service and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA); and the Mobile Technology. In conclusion I found that the session on Tiger and Mobile Technology were very attractive and interesting. As for the second session on Web Service and SOA, I was a bit disappointed as I was expecting the speaker to speak more about the SOA but the topic was only briefly introduced.
I was a bit regret and felt sorry for my step sister (Shuen Hui) when I found that J2ME MIDP 2.0 supports SMS transaction via Wireless Messaging API (javax.wireless.messaging). I should have recommended J2ME MIDP 2.0 to her during her Final Year Project proposal, instead I made a bad judgement for telling her that SMS transaction is not supported by J2ME yet, which was a really wrong judgement. J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2 has already came with a tool to enable developer to send SMS to the emulator and vice versa, in which she would have used it for her project for at least a proof and concept. Sorry Shuen Hui :(.
Lastly, I found that the new features introduced into Tiger were very powerful and useful, such as autoboxing and unboxing of primitive type, enhanced for loop, static imports, typesafe enumeration, variable argument list, generics and annotation. Besides, also the inclusion of JMX and new platform libraries into Tiger and enhanced JVM implementation strengthen its power.
Java Power!

It's my pleasure! Don't worry, ask as much as you could.
Ha ha.. until now just notice u got a web site store all ur 'technical' information huh?? well, hope i also can come find u to brush up my Java lar~ =)
hh, how many sis u got ah? ur real sis don learn c# wor :P
Hmm, actually to answer your question, I also don't know how many. Those who came across my mine are about 6, including my real younger sister. So far, only one of them, my leng lui kai mui who learn C#.
