We've been gearing up for JavaOne08 for a while now. Advance registration has finally opened. Inside the Java organization it hasn't risen to "madness" yet, but by April everyone will be working 200% on it. The lineup of papers and technical sessions is looking great. Lots of deep SE, EE, FX and mobility sessions. While not many in the JavaOne crowd do realtime, the realtime group's demos tend to be the best crowd pleasers (if only because they have the greatest chance to maim). They've got a plan this year that won't have the same capacity to maim as last years, but if Greg can get so many stepper motors and sensors to sync, it'll be mesmerizing.

There's a nice discount for early registration. Come join the fun!
