At Javarforum in Malmö yesterday, I gave a presentation about JavaOne 2008. Please see under Resources if you are interested in downloading the presentation.

The content of the presentation is:

  • Java + YOU
  • Upcoming Java Language Features (abstract from TS -5581 and TS-6185)
  • Future of Java (from TS-5581)
  • Boldness (abstract from TS-6213)

Java+You is the theme of JavaOne 2008. No question about it! The feeling I have after day 1 of this year’s JavaOne is that the focus is on the integration with the consumers as well as the developers in all daily-life situations. Rich Green talked a lot about the “Screens of you life” in his keynote today. Whether you read a book, check you bank account statement, chat with friends on you mobile phone or navigate in you car it is all Java… it is the consumer that drives the change…!

This year they even brought Neil Young on the stage to talk about his new interactive blue-ray disc and the way Java technology has enabled him to produce his memorabilia in a format that he feels is what his fans wants – an interactive history of his musical career.

All in all a more or less typical JavaOne day one show. This is my ninth time at JavaOne, so I think I am entitled to say that :)

It has been a long time since last post from me. I have had a lot to do at work lately, but this is in my eyes not an excuse. Guess I have been wondering whether to continue blogging or not. Seems like these traditional blogs are kind of out nowadays. Everybody seem to have moved from blogging via Facebook over to Twitter…

The title of this post has a double meening. Not only am I back in the blogspace, but I am also back in San Francisco. That means it is time for JavaOne again.Watch out for new posts here. Maybe this is just what I need to get me back in the game again…
