Whoa! Web 2.0!

I pinged an alias here at Sun asking who was going to the Web 2.0 Conference here in San Francisco, and started discussing with Sharat Chander about getting my sample app onto the Sun booth, and was surprised to be offered a pass to go. Whoa! A nice surprise, thanks, Sharat!

I'm not sure what to expect, but I suspect a lot of marketing and hype, the money's getting behind this game big time these days. I'll try to make sure my Hype Sunglasses are on and functional

When I'm not at sessions, I'll be at the Sun booth demonstrating the app that I wrote for ApacheCon where you can run an calendaring application offline in a browser and then synch with Google Calendar when you get back online. We'll also be showcasing some of the other great things Sun is doing around Web 2.0, such as jMaki, the Phobos project, Sun Java Studio Creator's support for AJAX, and Portal Server 7's Web 2.0 features.

I am sure there will be a lot of folks covering this event, but f I see or hear anything I find particularly compelling or interesting, I'll let you know.
