Tuesday - DemoJam at #PBTechWave

A PowerBuilder app (ChartBase) is one of the 7 finalists for DemoJam. The competition looks rather fierce, including InnoBoard.

Ronnie Po (the ChartBase app) did well (and was quite humorous). Took second, and it was a close call between 1st and 2nd. InnoBoard ended up taking first.

Tuesday - Sessions at #PBTechWave

My first session was my own on creating and consuming web services. Well attended and I thought it went real well. Stayed on schedule (finished about 5 minutes early) though I forgot to do my last demo. Realized that they didn't provide any downtime between sessions, so the next guys (Peter Conn and his dockable window session) were setting up immediately after I told the audience the session was over but I would stick around for questions.

Tuesday - Lunch at #PBTechWave

Lunch? What lunch? Couldn't find it in the little time I spent looking for it. I was speaking right after lunch so I didn't really want to eat a whole lot anyway. Hit the exhibit hall instead. Rather impressive, seeing folks like MicroSoft, Oracle, Dell, Citrix, HP, Intel, Amazon, Cisco, EMC, IBM, Red Hat, SUSE, Teradata, etc. here.

Tuesday - Development Tools Plenary at #PBTechWave

Sue Dunnell gave an overview of progress in the latest version.

Tuesday - General Session at #PBTechWave

First thing this morning is the SAP General Session. You really feel how swamped Sybase is here. (There are 6500+ attendees of which only about 600 are TechWave attendees.) Sybase TechWave is isolated to a few smaller meeting rooms on the lowest level of the conference center. The next 3 or 4 levels are larger conference rooms for the SAP sessions.

Monday at #PBTechWave

The main thing going on today was pre-conference training sessions. For me and most of the other TeamSybase members, it involved an all-day meeting where we discussed the status of many of the products as well as how we might be able to better share technical information with Sybase customers.

Left Los Angeles about 24 hours behind schedule due to some conflicting obligations.
