Rational Developer Conference 2007

I recently attended the Rational Developer Conference 2007 in Bangalore.Man Oh Man was it a Bang.Truth be told,this is my first conference and it was interesting,especially for the goodies that they gave way :) made me happy to be part of the Conference.Hmmm...Jokes aside,they did talk about a lot of technical stuff,which made my head tizzy.

Rational has lined a lot of new version of all its product with version 7.1.0 to be released in the first quarter in the next year.They products being released are CC,CQ,BuildForge,RAM and a lot of other stuff also.Pretty amazing as what they are doing with Software!!.They explained the case studies as how they use CC in house to main the CC code itself.

They have this new CC Multisite Global Monitoring SW,which is like a God given gift for a CC Multisite administrator.This tools at present allows the administrator to Monitor the sync up,status of the scheduled jobs and every thing that a local admin can do remotely.Moving on to the future,they will be supporting even remote changes,that could make the job really easier for the admin and also reduce the admin task,so that the admins can focus on other really important issues,rather then remote login and try to debug the outputs.

BuildForge,it is really a tool to be used.If you have like 100 builds a day with each build on different platform and each teamlead hanging on your head with a reaper's blade,then BuildForge is the tool for you.It has the dependencies,distributed make and all the other stuff packed to the rim.It makes a real big bang with its introduction....

The Two day conference was a technical hurricane,with a lot of info but very hard digest in the short span of time....

Hoping to attend the future conferences toooo.

If you want any info regarding this conference,contact me....

One more thing,had a chance to visti Leela palace,which was the location for this conference :)
