JavaOne Day Two thoughts...

Wow this is a huge event. I thought the folks at Disney/Universal did a great job managing lines. But the folks here at JavaOne are doing a pretty good job. The only problem I have is I am proctoring several lab sessions. As such I got a JavaOne pass. Cool. But it does not afford me to schedule any events. So I find myself getting in the huge lines. Think 2-3 747's at customs. Or 1.5 A380's :)
Now the fun part, once you get to the front of the line you queue to the standby line. Yes, I am flying standby at the JavaOne conference. There is no sweet talking the gate agent. Forget those frequent flyer miles to upgrade. Luckily I gave been able to get into the sessions.
Now for those sessions. SOA has been hugely popular in many forms. JBI was a killer session and finally I see the light at the end of the tunnel. No, that was the JavaOne standby session sign :)
Now I am in the Protoype AJAX session. Yes this room is packed. Scripting has its place at this years JavaOne. Way cool. When the was question how many people are using Protoype I would say that at least 65-75 percent raised there hands. Check out prototype.js.org for more information. Got to get back they are talking script.aculo.us now. Check out RICO as well.
