Sun Technology Summit 2007 @ Bangalore

I was in Bangalore last friday for Sun Technology Summit that was attended by 800+ developers. The main attraction of the event was definitely Scott McNealy - Sun Co-Founder & Chairman. The event started at the scheduled time with Scott's keynote session. He touched upon a lot of things viz. Software, Hardware, Services, Open Source, Education etc. The audience really enjoyed his session and later mobbed him for autograph .

His keynote was followed by my session on Java SE: Today and Tomorrow where I took the attendees through the Java timeline and the future roadmap. Some of the things I covered are:

• Java - Overview, Timeline
• New Language Features of Java SE 5, 6 and 7.
• Demos - Java Desktop Integration, Java SE Web Services, Scripting in Java and JConsole.

There were quite a few questions from the audience regarding the new features and they seem to have enjoyed the demos. I had interactions with lot of people throughout the day - Students, Architects, Academia etc.
