iBATIS NOT at ApacheCon

[Jeff Butler <je...@gmail.com>]

I've just found out that my iBATIS tutorial was cancelled at ApacheCon -
there were not enough enrollments to make it profitable.  iBATIS is too easy
to use!  Maybe we should introduce some obfuscation so we can create a need
for training :)

So I'll not be going to ApacheCon after all.  I hope those of you that are
going have a great time.  My only regret is that I'll not get to meet some
of the other folks in our community.

Dang, sorry to hear that Jeff. Perhaps you can still do some form of it as a
Podcast and post it on the iBATIS website. I think it would be great to have
that on the site.

Dude that sucks.  I'm sorry to hear it.

Yeah, iBATIS is a tough one to warrant more than an hour's worth of
introduction.  I recently dumped iBATIS.NET into the hands of one of my
development teams with a SUPER tight timeline (6 weeks from vision to
go-live).  They wouldn't have had enought time to write all of the
ADO.NET(read JDBC for what it's worth) code.  I gave them one example,
and they
just ran with it.  They figured iBATIS out as they went -- which is safe
with iBATIS.  Most persistence tools require you read the book first.  :-)

Most questions in the iBATIS community are about "can we do this" as opposed
to "how do we do this".

Anyway...there will be other opportunities.

Cheers,
Clinton
