With the economy still challenging development pros to produce mission-critical software quickly, the Java community continues to seek the most effective ways to accelerate the production of software that can have an immediate impact on an organization’s bottom line. Infrastructure projects and strategic initiatives such as content management are out. Far fewer of us are working on packaged apps such as SAP and Oracle, which are also more strategic in nature. This means that veteran developers are being taken from known technologies and thrust into quick-hitting projects that can involve unfamiliar architectures and technologies, making the need to get up to speed on these technologies fast.

All this coupled with ongoing change — especially with the acquisition of Sun by Oracle and SpringSource by VMware — means that an air of uncertainty is felt over the industry as a whole. Change can be good but rumors and unanswered questions still abound.

That's why we're thrilled to announce that the opening keynote is to be presented by the father of Java himself, James Gosling, along with keynotes from Rod Johnson, Reza Rahman, Bob McWhirter, Cameron Purdy and David Shaffer.

TheServerSide Java Symposium is guaranteed to give you expert answers from the world’s most recognized Java pundits in a relaxed, intimate environment packed with your peers — but where you have plenty of time to interact face-to-face with all our speakers. You won’t be treated like just another face in the crowd, mixed in with a bunch of newbies looking for free vendor trinkets or to get hired by a competitor. Access to our experts and the ability to interact with those facing the same challenges that you’re up against (share success stories and lessons learned!) makes TheServerSide Java Symposium the most effective resource available today for acquiring the critical skills needed to complete development jobs on time and under budget. All this while keeping your skill set — and career — moving forward. We stand by our commitment to this and to you or your money back. Guaranteed. No questions asked.
