All, I posted a comment a while back that some may find it easier to justify a trip to the upcoming JavaOne conference than WWDC. It is being held directly before WOWODC in SF. Like WWDC it's unlikely it will contain much, if any, WO related material. It will, however, have a wealth of Java related information on a variety of app servers, frameworks, IDE's, etc. In case anyone is interested, the early bird registration ends in a couple of days. They just sent me an email with 10 reasons one might decide to attend. See below...
BTW: Although it may sound like it, I'm not promoting JavaOne. I'll be attending WWDC. I just think the JavaOne timing and location could possibly help someone justify attending WOWODC this year. http://java.sun.com/javaone 10 MORE REASONS TO REGISTER If you register before April 22, you can take advantage of the Early Bird discount. But we all know it isn?t just about saving money - it's also about getting the value you need and expect.
