Thankfully, the speakers provided breaks otherwise I would have never made it through (kidney stones shrink the bladder, I have no scientific evidence to back that up). So far, the two training modules […]
Yesterday was the first day of the Java In Action Conference presented by TechTarget and TheServerSide.com. Overall, I have been extremely impressed.
First of all, Disney’s Yacht Club is top-of-the-line with respect to convention centers. I fear that future conferences will pale in comparison. Exactly like what you would expect from Disney: water on every table, […]
