The 3rd IndicThreads.com Conference On Java Technology will be held at the Hotel Sun n Sand in Pune, India on 5-27 Nov 2008. In a novel initiative, the conference this year includes a code lab on Google technologies, known in geek terminology as a Hackathon. The Hackathon includes sessions on Google technologies like Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and OpenSocial.
