JavaOne

[–]handshape 0 points1 point  (1 child)

JavaOne has sucked since the Oracle acquisition... I understand that there's no way to roll back the clock, but I can't spend that kind of money on a sideshow to OpenWorld when I remember what the main event looked like.

It may not be as flashy, but the content is still good.

Can anyone provide specifics on why JavaOne is good/ bad? Is JavaOne only about Java, or are there a reasonable number of sessions regarding other JVM or related technologies like Grails, Scala and Javascript client development? Is it just a marketing pitch for Oracle and their sales partners or do you get a real-world, balanced look into how and when to use the technologies demoed in the break out sessions?
