Other Stuff


I feel honored to be a MVB (Most Valuable Blogger) at the JAVALOBBY of DZone.

   

Many of these articles are also published at Java Code Geeks, as I am a member of the Java Code Geeks (JCG) Program, too.

Intention

The main reason for this website is my blog, which you can find at the following link:

Blog about Java / Java EE Technologies, SOA, and Cloud Computing


I love to play around with new technologies. Therefore, I often download non-production-ready releases of new frameworks and try out new programming languages. I have got a lot of fun to learn new stuff, talk and discuss with other experts, and to coach other guys by doing workshops and courses. I created this blog to report about my experiences with Java EE technologies, SOA, ESBs, Cloud Computing, Big Data solutions, IT conferences, IT certifications, and other stuff.

Besides technology stuff, there is another important reason for my blog: Unfortunately, almost no vendor-independent information can be found about IT conferences and IT certifications - but you have to pay a lot of money for visiting a conference or doing a certification. So, in the future I will write a blog entry, whenever I do a further education. I will report about conferences such as Jazoon, Java Symposium, JBossWorld, ApacheCon, QCon, and so on - I visit at least three or four conferences each year (as attendee, as speaker and for offering workshops). I will also report about certifications while preparing for them, such as Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP), soaschool.com SOA certifications (SOACP) or PMI in the future.

I hope other guys will post their experiences as "comment" in this blog or in their own blogs, too. Let us share some information! Thus, we can be sure not to spend our budget for further education the wrong way.

Besides, I will post my experiences when I use a new technology in a project, read a new released technical book or if I gain some other IT experiences which are not available already in the world wide web.

Now enjoy my blog or contact me using the below contact information.
Best regards, Kai.
