Even though JavaOne 2009 officially starts from Tuesday but all the fun begins much earlier with several accompanying events. Here is my wishlist of the talks that I’d like to attend from Sunday through Friday.

And JavaOne is a fun festival, make sure to meet as many people and network with them. Find out how they are using technology to solve their problems and share your story too. May be it’s your next colleague, next boss, next hire, next idea or whatever. This JavaOne is about “YOU” and so make sure you have fun.
Have a Happy JavaOne!
