Well it’s been another full on week and I see there are a few interesting things that have been posted. I have been really busy working away on the Java project that I am assigned to. This is making use of the Java ADF and the Enterprise ADF as well. It has been a learning curve as things are different but it has been good. Some annoying things but you find ways to work around it. I guess it really comes down to understanding the whole concept of how the Java ADF works. I think I have a good handle now on how things are ment to work so that is helping. We are still making use of IBM’s RAD...

Ok I can see from reading James’s post: http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2007/03/23/the-webadf-licensing-issue-revisited/, he is not happy with about the fact that the ADF has to be licensed if you want to run it on another machine. I know quite a few people are unhappy about this and as I mentioned in yesterdays post it is a highly debated topic. I also mentioned I cannot really comment on this issue but I can provide some help for people out there that are being affected by it. Rather than complaining now about the issue, I think you have to tackle issue on a project specific basis. I think...

It’s good to see a few other people blogging and talking about what’s happening at the Developer Summit. I thought I would write up about some of the updates from day one at the Developer Summit.
