It’s that time of the year again! Our International User Conference 2009 is right around the corner. We hope to meet the familiar faces that join us year after year as well as some new faces this year. If you are not familiar with our User Conference, you can find information at our UC website or if you wish to peek into our UC preparation, check out our UC 2009 photo gallery!
As much as UC is exciting, informative and the one place to be, it may also be overwhelming, simply because of the sheer number of events, workshops and presentations. Fortunately, the UC events schedule is available online and you can search and plan your agenda ahead. I have compiled a list of Java specific events and presentations at this year’s UC with hopes to ease out your planning. Please follow the links to add the events to your planner.
