JavaOne proposal NOT rejected!

May 6th, 2008 JavaOne 2008 is starting in couple of hours. I will be there all four days soaking in all the knowledge, fun and sharing about it in this blog.

April 29th, 2008 I am preparing for attending JavaOne. I will cover JavaOne 2008 live on this blog and on twitter.

May 7th, 2008 Sun revealed the following statistics about Java at JavaOne 2008: 1. 90% of Personal Computers on Internet have Java 2.

March 21st, 2008 I got an invitation for covering JavaOne and received a Press pass for the conference. I am planning to attend the conference from 6-9 May in San Francisco and live blog about the event.

June 1st, 2006 This is the list of top 10 best things about Scott not being the CEO of Sun Microsystems (as said by Scott himself at JavaOne) : 10. He doesn't have to apologize for "stuff I say to Wall Street." 9.

May 7th, 2008 The burning question at JavaOne 2008 on lots of developers and businesses mind was how Sun was ever going to monetize all the cool technologies at JavaOne? If Sun goes down, so does the technologies it championed. I got the opportunity to ask the questions on the Java panel for media, to JavaFX lead and others.

March 22nd, 2009 As many of you know, I was invited to JavaOne 2008 as Press Analyst by Sun Microsystems. I went all the way from India to attend the event.

April 17th, 2006 I just got a call from someone that was high up at sun saying "Do I know what's happening next week at Sun". He told me that scott is leaving his post next week.

May 6th, 2008 All throughout the JavaOne 2008 keynote presentation, I had the same nagging question, how is Sun going to profit from all these diverse technologies? In the end I don't have an answer. Purely from business standpoint it doesn't make sense.

May 14th, 2008 In JavaOne 2008 I noticed something I least expected - an abundance of Mac laptops (Macbook, Macbook Pro & Macbook Air) in not just developers hands but also press / analysts and presenters. I didn't conduct a formal survey but anyone there can attest to the fact that around 60-70% of the laptops were Mac with Dell being a distant second.

May 6th, 2008 The JavaFX Script Programming Language Tutorial by James Weaver at JavaOne 2008 was rather insipid. In my jet-lagged state, it was enough to put me to peaceful slumber.

May 7th, 2008 I was intrigued by the fact that a new scripting language was designed for JavaFX, a new technology based on the Java platform, designed to enable consistent user experiences on desktop, mobile, TV, and other consumer platforms, where existing languages like Javascript or Groovy could be embraced and extended instead. A new language means a learning curve for a developer to get proficient at and also not be able to leverage the developer base of an existing popular language like Javascript or Gorrvy.

February 24th, 2006 Gautam Shah has written an interesting article in Javaworld where he discusses ways to use SOAP over MOM (message oriented middleware) implementations, instead of default HTTP, to build reliable web services. The premise is simple.

May 6th, 2008 JavaFX The keynote was centered around JavaFX, Sun's solution for creating rich interactive internet applications with immersive user interface. Sun's value proposition is ubiquitousness of JavaFX on mobile platform and internet enabled devices.

November 29th, 2005 With the merger of WebWork and Struts now it is crystal clear that our beloved (not to speak bad about the dead) java web framework is no more with us. It's parts will however be salvaged and added to WebWork.
