BBDC: Day 2 Wrap-up

And then The Lord said, “Let there be party”. And there was. And it was good. LOTS of games, including Wii, foosball, pinball, and a big ol’ Rock Band tournament.

You might recognize two of the speakers from the keynote address kicking things off tonight, too.

Wait, what? Bloggers can rock out?

Well, yeah, sort of.

Okay, maybe not really, but still tons o’ fun.

So, day 2 really launched right into things, and the keynote gave us lots of announcements to talk about. Overall consensus among developers was that:

• The Application Center is big for everybody.
• Many of the tools either:
  • Didn’t apply to their product
  • Would only be useful once they actually went public and were sufficiently disseminated
• Sessions were solid and informative
• Everyone uses Eclipse, but that initial BlackBerry plug-in launch was terrible; this first update since May makes a lot of devs happy.

It ain’t over yet! More to come tomorrow!
