Java University at JavaOne




With this post I would like to make some publicity for Java University at JavaOne.

I really think that it is well worth your time and money to attend the Java University sessions.

They are delivered by Sun's best instructors, often in combination with a Sun engineer of the team that has developed the technology presented in the session: a unique opportunity.

The sessions are full day or half day sessions: on Sunday afternoon, on Monday morning and on Monday afternoon. Furthermore there are bonus evening sessions on Sunday and on Monday.

By the way: this year I present such an evening session (see below).

Here is a list of topics that I personally find most interesting (if only because I know the presentors).
