Thanks for your reply, Clinton.
You read my mind about wanting to catch Gregor's talk. So I guess I'll get to catch that one, and miss James Strachan's SOA talk. Oh well.
Be thankful you haven't been booked in the same time slot as Rod Johnson.

Hi John,
Thanks for your enthusiasm around iBATIS. If you're an iBATIS user already, I'd suggest just going to one of the other talks. It's pretty tough competition....Gregor Hohpe of Google, talking about SOA? Like how many hot buzzwords is that in one presentation? ;-)
That's where I'd be if I weren't speaking.
So I'd recommend you go to the Agile talk if you're thinking of, already doing of have tried and failed with an Agile Methodology.
Cheers,
Clinton

I've been a very happy iBATIS user for more than a year now, on several projects. It really is a most beautiful and neat framework. I hope to attend at least one of Clinton's talks, although I am annoyed that there are other talks at the same times that I am also interested in.Can you give any information about the level of your "Hands-On" iBATIS talk? Is it geared towards absolute beginners, or does it perhaps cover advanced details or upcoming features? The abstract sounds great.In any case, I would love to meet any iBATIS developer given the opportunity, and would be delighted to buy anyone involved in the project a beer.Thanks again for a wonderful framework. (Sorry if I'm gushing too much, but iBATIS really is one of my favourites.)RegardsJohn HurstWellington, New Zealand
