Java One 2009 – Summary
Posted on 07. Jun, 2009 by todd.
Summary
In the blink of an eye the 2009 edition of Java One is over. It was a good conference. Not the best Java One I’ve been to but still very much worth the trip down to San Francisco. The biggest unknown is what impact Oracle’s purchasing of Sun will have on Sun’s direction of Java. [...]

Friday Keynote – The "Toy Show"

Java Store introduced. Strikes me a bit of me too wrt to the Apple App Store. No relevance for Entero.

Java One 2009 – What I’m Looking Forward to
