Sun Tech Days 2008, Sao Paolo - Day 1

Sun
Tech Days kick started yesterday in the beautiful city of href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sao_Paulo">Sao Paolo,
Brazil. Over 1000 attendees, completely charged, willing to
discuss their issues, amazing amount of energy and all there to learn
about different Sun
technologies - just a superb recipe to succeed and outpace everybody
else in the world!



The GlassFish
session was packed with 400 attendees and there were attendees all over
the floor :) The slides are available href="http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/resource/confs/glassfish-techdays-saopaolo.pdf">here.
