JavaEdge 2008

Last Thursday (18.12.2008) 6 months of hard work resulted wit the JavaEdge 2008 event which took place in Israel. JavaEdge is a yearly Java seminar conducted by AlphaCSP, which I proudly work for. This year we had more than 500 participants, 2 assembly speeches by Stephen Colebourne (keynote) and Frederic Simon, 3 tracks with 5 sessions each. Sessions where presented by AlphaCSP workers and guests including Alef Arendsen from SpringSource and Dmitry Jemerov from JetBrains. Sessions covered topics such as OSGi, Android, JavaFX, Java for the cloud, Comet, DSLs and more.

During his keynote speech, Stephen presented 10 possible language changes for JDK7, and asked the audience to vote on them. More than 300 people cast their votes. The detailed results are presented in Stephen's blog.
