So you've probably heard enough about the hype surrounding "Web 2.0", "Web 2.1" or even "Web3.0"! You've probably even got the branded mug, t-shirt, and glowing pen?!
Well, just as SOA was once seemingly just a marketing slogan, come discuss with me in a free online webcast, developer-to-developer, about the practical ways that Sun can help you to "Web 2.0".
Sun has spent billions of dollars every year on Research & Development to create the technologies that power the internet. But these innovations don't just relate to hardware, they also include world-leading open software, simple but powerful development tools and some pretty darn exciting technologies! Just a few highlights are, Ruby, Phobos & scripting tools, .NET interfacing, drag-and-drop AJAX components, Identity and SOA/BPEL simplified, and much, much more!

A guy called Michael, one called Simon, one called Steve and little ol'me got together and kicked-off the JavaUK developer community event, that happened in March 2006. See here.
We provided 6-tracks packed-full of sharing, and we were completely astounded at the 1000 full-to-capacity turn-out. We then took the show on the road to Linlithgow, Manchester, London, and if you think we forgot your island :-), we've got one more venue up our sleeve (stay tuned)
Well, we wanted the event to be recurring, and it's happening!!!!
