I've been to everyone of the JavaOne's since 1996. Marketing?
Yeah, there's a lot of that crap there, but the core is 10
straight hours of serious multiple seminars (9 AM - 7 PM daily,
Mon - Thur; 9 AM - Noon Fri + Java University Sunday before and
Saturday after) + daily continental breakfast, lunch, dinner and
awesome apres parties! And I love the Microsoft bashing Scott
McNally always slips in. This first JavaOne there were (only)
3,000 developers there. It was really nice. I got to personally
meet Mark Andreeson, Scott McNally, Tim Burners-Lee, and James
Gosling. Last year there were 25,000 developers there (fire
marshal's limit for Moscone Center), and it was a zoo - didn't
much like it at all (though the info was still killer). This
year, with all the dotcom failures, I expect attendance to be a
little more reasonable and we will actually be able to cruise the
buildings without having breath on each other. And you always
get really cool stuff - first year was just a backpack (and I got
my picture taken with "Duke"), I think it was '98 that we got the
"Java Ring" and last year we got a free Solaris 386 CD package,
backpack (always), and, for the alumni, some cool shirts and
stuff.
But the greatest party had to be the first JavaOne when Microsoft
was still coming and trying to entice us with their own apres
parties. Sun rented out a portion of the military base on the
west side of the city and had everything from multiple buffets to
laser light show to indoor mountain climbing. Man! What a
blast!!
Oh yeah, and we learned a lot in the seminars, too (at least,
after the hangovers wore off....).
Cheers!
Mark
