And JavaOne starts...

Well, as being an Oracle Fusion Middleware Regional Director I went to JavaOne this year. It's quite impressive: first time for me to see San Francisco and first time to attend a that large Java conference. The keynote from Rich Green was very interesting: a very big hall, a lot of people, a lot of announcements. Java is officially Open Source now, e.g. Very cool: JavaFX. It's a scripting language capability which sits on the standard JDK and allows to do a lot of dynamic graphical stuff. Not only running on the desktop, but on mobile devices, too. We saw an IPhone clone done with JavaFX, really cool.
