Oracle speaks at The Server Side Java Symposium (TSSJS): Part One - JSE

My work recently sent me to the The Server Side Java Symposium (TSSJS) 2011, in Las Vegas, NV.  It was a fun three days packed full of information that was both useful and not overly sales-y.  The sales-y stuff was clearly marked on the the agenda, so you knew what to expect before you went in.  Anyways, I'll blog more about the overall experience later.  In this blog post I'd like to focus on a keynote given by the new custodians of Java, Oracle.

The keynote was given by Adam Messinger, VP of Development in the Fusion Middleware Group (basically In charge of JSE), and  Steve Harris, Senior VP of Application Server Development (basically in charge of JEE).  Overall I was very impressed with this keynote.  It was not sales-driven, and the execs seemed to actually care.
