My Opinion About Java FX
I was interviewed (java.sun.com) about Java FX in the enterprise, Java FX tooling and superfluous GoF patterns.

I was asked to be a part of the MVB (Most Valuable Blogger) program at dzone.com - what I accepted.

In January I gave my first "softskill" session about "Building Dream Teams" at the OOP conference in munich. One of the attendees wrote a German article about it in computerwoche. A short summary in English: "There are only two types of developers, those who enjoy programming, and those who don't"
In the current JavaSpektrum magazine an article about the two different (actually opposite) approaches:
"Service Oriented Architectures vs. Domain Driven Design with EJB 3.X" was published. The magazine will hit the shelfs at 18.01.2008, however the article is already available as a PDF for download.
I will discuss some topics from this article during the sessions "Enterprise Architectures in Practice" and partially in the "Greenfire" at the next OOP-conference in munich as well - so feel free to come for a chat during the conference.
Your feedback (as always) is highly appreciated! Leave a comment, or send me an email.
The book "Java EE 5 Architekturen" is available from amazon.de - so is really out now :-).
The p4j5 community is still growing. Only last week I approved 3 observers - now we are 22. I get many direct questions and suggestions (some really interesting) directly per email regarding patterns, and architectures - please use the p4j5 forum/mailinglist for discussion as well.
The (german) book Java EE 5 Architekturen is definetely out now. My publisher has it already ...and I hope for delivery :-).
The Java EE 5 Architekturen book should be available this week. I'm also going to check-in the remaining projects into p4j5. Special thanks to the reviewers:
...until I received today a copy of it. The book SOA-Expertenwissen (actually a bible, it comes with 867 pages) was written by many (about 20-50 its hard to say) recognized experts like Bernd Oestereich, Thilo Frotscher, Gernot Starke, Michael Stal, Stefan Tilkov, Markus Voelter and many, many others. I only wrote (and so read) a short chapter about Java EE 5 last year - and forgot it completely.
It was a nice surprise today, after almost one year, receiving this "bible". Now I have to read the remaining 800 [(867 - (Java EE 5 Chapter)) > 800] pages to learn something from the other authors :-).
The book "Java EE 5 Architekturen" book is completed now. I just have to write the preface. The publisher is going to review all five chapters, after this step I will send a copy to the technical reviewers.
This book describes serviceoriented (actually procedural), as well as objectoriented architectures. Similar to the "Enterprise Architekturen" - I didn't described the technology (EJB 3) and just concentrated on the essential ideas (I hate books with long introductions to the technology, I prefer to read javadoc or the spec instead...:-)). Some ideas were already presented on the OOP, Entwicklertage, JAX and JavaONE conferences - the feedback was positive (actually no negative feedback so far). The book contains independent patterns, ideas and utilities as well as suggestions for the combination or profiles of these. The last chapter describes superpackages, components and subsystems and how they are related to the independent patterns. I mainly described my experience from my projects, without beeing too theoretical. I will provide for every pattern a small sample as netbeans 6 project with glassfish v2 settings.
Some reasons for choosing Netbeans for creating the samples:
