Don't forget your laptop!
Are you lucky enough to be going to JavaOne 2008? If so, don't forget your laptop!
This year at JavaOne there will be quite a few Hands-on Lab sessions where you will be able to try out cool technologies rather than just hear about them. In many of them you'll be given courseware and the software needed to use the technology on your laptop, other labs will provide machines for you to use.
I will be one of the presenters for the "Plug into GlassFish v3 with JavaServer Faces and jMaki" lab. The lab will show how GlassFish v3 will provide a pluggable platform which enables anyone to extend the functionality provided by the GlassFish v3 administration console. This is done in the context of our JavaServer Faces application with the help of OSGi bundles and our plugin API for our application. If you're already signed up, great! If not, you can try to get in (the lab is already full) or stop by the GlassFish booth #175 in the Pavilion and you can get a copy of the lab to try on your own time. Oh... and if you do create a GlassFish v3 plugin during JavaOne, you're eligible for a chance to win a Canon PowerShot SD1000 Digital Camera! See the contest rules for more details.
Where will you be at JavaOne?
Here's my schedule of events I'm considering:
Ken's JavaOne Calendar
I'm unsure about many of them, but I will definitely be at the GlassFish BOF at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, (Gateway 104). I am speaking at the "Plug into GlassFish v3 with JavaServer Faces and jMaki" Hands-on Lab (Wednesday @ 6:30PM, Hall E 132). I also helped out with a demo that will be shown during the 1:30 PM General Session on Tuesday, so I don't want to miss that. Everything else I'll try to make on a best effort basis.
See you at JavaOne!
