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).
