Middleware Matters

JAOO, the finest software development conference on the planet, is upon us. The main conference days are Monday through Wednesday of next week. Monday starts with Werner's keynote, which I'm really looking forward to, and then the conference branches out into a number of interesting topic areas, as the schedule shows. And as is always the case for JAOO, the list of speakers is a veritable "who's who" of well-known technology leaders. JAOO takes very good care of all attendees, and especially their speakers, which is why they're consistently able to attract a large number of top presenters.

At most conferences, I usually don't go to any sessions. The talks are usually uninteresting and are often delivered by first-time public speakers who are nervous and sometimes barely able to stumble through their presentations. Not so at JAOO! Because of the high quality of the speakers and their topics, at JAOO I attend as many sessions as I can, and often wish to be in 2 or 3 sessions at the same time. And of course, after a day full of formal sessions, there's nothing better than JAOO's legendary social events to help you unwind.

Hopefully I'll see you there!
