What's Hot
Friday May 09, 2008 Today is the last day of the 2008 JavaOne Conference in San Francisco. It's the world's largest developer's conference and every year it ends with James Gosling showcasing "extreme innovation." The JavaOne 2008 Twitterverse and blog-o-sphere are already buzzing about what the keynote will feature.
(Including the blog authored by my very favorite blogger) The fun begins at 8:30 a.m. pacific today. If you're not at JavaOne, you can watch it on the web.
