Well, this was refreshing. Compared to the whacky motivational speakers Lotus and IBM seem to prefer for their general sessions, Sun does it up with people doing the work and what they are working on and why it's cool.
FUN FACT: Last IBM conf. was Neil Armstrong- neat, but, um, he's not a programmer.
FACT: I already have Armstrong's autograph on my wall.
Down to some Java business. JavaFX will kill your DVR with a blunt object. DVRs will be around in ten years, but not for folks who like to order up their own content- much of it for free with commercials. TVs will just be another net appliance on your home Wifi, running whatever comes after N. Game consoles- you have 5 more years, maybe 7.
FUN FACT: Everyone in the AJAX talk has a laptop on and they just told us to turn off all electronics. Everyone just laughed.
FACT: Chicago Options market runs java applets on hand helds and the whole system logs 300,000 transactions per second peak. 300,000 transactions. Per. Second. Mind blowing.
