JavaOne every year seems to have one prominent topic that overshadows everything else. 2008 seems to belong to JavaFX and Java on mobile and consumer devices. There's been no talk of SOA and minimal talk on enterprises. Rich Internet Applications (RIA) is definitely Sun's focus this year. The other talk from Sun dealt with Java for movies, Java for DVDs and on other consumer electronics. So like one speaker said, Java has gone full circle, it began with consumer devices and is now returning to the same.

 CommunityOne, the conference for free and open software was held on the 5th May 08. Most sessions were introductions to various free and open software. The event covered a wide range of topics from the Linux, Scripting and open software world yet it did not seem to have attracted many non-Java developers. |

 James Gosling recently wrote "JavaOne coolness is getting over the top. A fair number of hotels are already sold out. For the past several years we've been back on a track of annual serious escalation." So it looks like JavaOne 08 will be bigger and better than in previous years.

 Next generation clustered JEE applications will run in a Grid environment - essentially, the deployed applications will tap into the resources of the Grid to scale on demand dynamically. At peak loads, the deployment could scale to hundreds of Grid nodes. The scalability characteristics of applications often are limited by how quickly or well the data can be shared across such a Grid environment.

Web2.0 brought forth a significant shift in how one sees the Internet. From being passive users and consumers of information, now users more actively participate in the content generation and collaborate with other users to form communities and user networks.The relevance of the user participation and social aspects to the enterprise though has been a little elusive. Unlike building richer user interface and mashups, that is more obvious and widely adopted, the participatory web, collaboration and social networking are much lesser considered aspects. |
