Let's check the conference guide to see where to find a good fish in Zürich, more precisely, where are the best Jazoon'08 presentations for Glassfish users and web-service developers.

From my last conferences experience, I learned to create a conference schedule divided in topics instead of just going there and selecting the topic of the day. I first collect the list of conference's topics and then I prioritize them by day. For every day, I know the two or three presentation I must go, the ones I want to go, and the ones I would like to go. I also include some community slots in my schedule and, of course, some free slots - to give me a chance to checkout something I've never heard about. It is not a scientific method, but at least it gives me a chance to monitor my conference day-by-day, avoiding myself of missing that fantastic session because I was watching an impressive demo in a commercial booth :)

Jazoon'08 Fish Menu: Glassfish and Web-Services Nowadays I am focused in web-services, specially SOAP web services and Glassfish/Metro technologies, so let's check the Jazoon'08 fish menu:

• Monday, 2008-06-23, 09:00 - 15:00, Arena 7

  GlassFish Community Day: six hours fully dedicated to the latest novelties on Glassfish technologies. Commanded by Jerome Dochez - the Glassfish architect - it is one of the unmissable sessions for any glassfisherman.

• Tuesday, 2008-06-24, 15:00 - 15:50, Arena 5

  SAML: Identity Federation in Practice: you know, strange fishes deserve precautions about how they are prepared. Security is the base of comfort when you try something exotic and it is even better if you know the cooker and from where the fished are coming from. Security and person identification is a key concern in interoperability between web-services, and I am definitely interested about that session.

• Wednesday, 2008-06-25, 11:00 - 11:50, Arena 6

  JAX-RS: The Java API for RESTful Web Services: a small and fast fish served flambé, a kind of spiced web-services. If well prepared, it can offer you a surprisingly experience, and be aware you can eventually becomes addictive to it. Why not?

• Wednesday, 2008-06-25, 11:00 - 11:50, Arena 6

• Wednesday, 2008-06-25, 14:00 - 14:50, Arena 9

  Integration Profile for GlassFish v3: in case you swallow a spine of fish, it is better to do a checkup. This session bring us a way to find out where are the dangerous spines of our JEE applications.

• Wednesday, 2008-06-25, 16:30 - 17:20, Arena 6

  Web Services and Transactions: a good dinner ends with bittered bill, and while you taste your wakeup expresso you should pay the bill and finish the transaction. This simple scenario in a restaurant becomes weird if you have the cooker, the waiter and the clients in separate rooms :).

• Thursday, 2008-06-26, 14:00 - 14:50, Arena 9

  Glassfish V2/V3 - the killer appserver for development and production: visit our kitchen - this session introduces a guide tour to the Glassfish server's features. An unmissable session for a new fisherman.

It is just my Glassfish guide for Jazoon'08, I hope we can meet there and share ideas on how to produce better web-services based on Glassfish.
