JavaOne Sessions Spotlight; also, Early Bird Registration Ends WednesdayPosted by editor on April 20, 2009 at 7:42 AM PDT
This week's Java.net Spotlight is on the 2009 JavaOne Conference. It's starting to feel like the conference is just around the corner. And, indeed, if you want to take advantage of early bird registartion, time is running very short: Wednesday, April 22, is the last day you can register at the early bird rate. Our Java.net Spotlight note links you to the article Java + You = Innovation, by Janice J. Heiss. According to Janice and other people who have attended past JavaOne conferences, this year's conference promises to be unique: Those of us who have attended past JavaOne conferences are particularly jazzed this year as the JavaFX platform takes off and Sun aspires to appear from behind every cloud computer — to say nothing of Ajax, concurrency, eco-responsibility, and more. Janice highlights some of the JavaOne 2009 sessions that are likely to stir high interest at this years conference, including sessions by JavaOne Rock Stars (developers who have been recognized for outstanding sessions they've given in the past). The rock stars are "returning in abundance" this year. High-interest sessions cited by Janice include:
And that's really just a small sampling of what you'll find at this year's JavaOne. I'll be covering more of what's coming up in future posts. The point right now is: if you're attending the conference but you don't yet have your pass, make sure you register by April 22 to get the early bird rate and save at least $100. The latest Java Mobility Podcast is Java Mobility Podcast 76: Sound of Motion, in which Vladimir Savchenko of Sound of Motion talks about their Java ME application that transforms their cycles into advanced cycling computer. In Java Today, Danny Coward likes the ImageUploader project. He tells us about his discovery in Swing, ImageUploader, Trees: "A cute little newish project you may not have seen is the ImageUploader project over at java.net. Its a cross-platform Swingapplication (screenshot) for selecting images to upload, as the name hints at, complete with drag and drop from native file explorers, roll-over effects, image preview. When the time comes up upload multiple files, it POSTs them over to a URL, complete with reassuring progress indicators..." Stephen Colebourne was curious about the Java Community Process, and came away discovering that The JCP doesn't exist!: "The Java Community Process doesn't exist. At least not in the way you probably think it does. This surprised even me (although it shouldn't have), and I'll explain here just exactly what I mean. The Java Community Process (JCP) is the standards process for Java. The FAQ gives the best summary..." In IO, NIO, It's Off to JavaOne 2009 We Go, Alan Bateman talks about how busy he's going to be at JavaOne: "This year I'm co-presenting on two technical sessions: TS-4222: Asynchronous I/O Tricks and Tips with Jean-Francois Arcand. I'm going to talk about the API, implementation details, and cover some usage guidelines... TS-5052: Hacking the File System with JDKTM Release 7 with Carl Quinn (Netflix)... In addition to the sessions, there is: BOF-5087: All Things I/O with JDK Release 7." In today's Weblogs, Sonya Barry updates the community on the sudden change in the Java.net project wikis upgrade, in Wiki migration - oh, never mind.: "This morning CollabNet announced that they aren't prepared to do the upgrade next weekend as scheduled, which means the wiki move is off the table as well." Arun Gupta is off to Santa Clara, CA, where he'll be talking about GlassFish and NetBeans at MySQL Users Conference 2009: "What is open source, production-quality, supported by a large vibrant community, and comes with full enterprise support ? - GlassFish and MySQL. Did you know that GlassFish ... is the only open-source Java EE 5 compliant Application Server can be used..." And John Ferguson Smart continues his in-depth series on CI Adoption Customer Stories (3/8): Building in the dark: "This case study is the third of an 8-part blog series about why so many developers adopt continuous integration, and originally published on the Atlassian blogs. Ragnar is principle consultant at an Icelandic internet development firm based in Reykjavik. He..." A new java.net Poll was posted over the weekend, asking "Which of the technologies highlighted at JavaOne 2009 is of greatest importance for the future of Java?" The early results are quite interesting, in my view. Voting will be open through Thursday, with a new poll starting on Friday (i.e., we're resuming the historical Java.net poll schedule). So, cast your vote! In last week's poll, a majority of voters agreed that the U.S. Federal Government's embrace of OpenESB for the NHIN implies a brighter future for open source projects, though they agreed with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The final results were: Does the U.S. Federal Government's embrace of OpenESB for the NHIN imply a brighter future for open source projects?
As I talked about above, this week's Spotlight, titled Java + You = Innovation:, reminds us that JavaOne is just around the corner: "It's that time of year again. The 2009 JavaOne conference takes place at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from June 2-5 and is being sponsored by Intel (a Platinum sponsor), JBoss, and Sony Ericsson. This year's technical and Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) sessions are organized around four topics: Rich Media Applications and Interactive Content; Mobility; Services; and Core Technologies. You can view information on all the sessions now and get a $200 discount on early bird registration until April 22."
