Panel Members: James Velasco, Steven Reynolds, Jim Bethancourt

There were lots of big announcements, fancy demos, and technical sessions at JavaOne this year -- come and hear about the best of them! There were exciting announcements about the next two versions of Java, as well as really impressive demos of the next releases of JavaFX and Enterprise Java. There is also a great deal of work going on to consolidate the different Java ME platforms that will make the development efforts of Java ME developers much easier.

Free t-shirts will be available on a first-come first-served basis. Be sure to come early and get yours!
