Competing market and technical interests are moving Java in different directions. IT organizations are clamoring for ease of development, faster standards adoption, and stability. The application server market continues to consolidate enough so that there may be only three major application server vendors in the near future. (Or will it be only 2?!!!) The industry is also torn between 100% standards adoption and the productivity of proprietary frameworks. Some people claim that middleware is dead-yea right! Come join us for what promises to be a lively, slightly heretical, and thought-provoking session.]]></description></item><item><title>Introduction to Building Flex Applications</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://events.sys-con.com/read/43726.htm</guid><link>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43726.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43726_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[The Director of Curriculum Development for Macromedia presents a brief overview of Flex and how it fits into existing application models, and walks through the creation of a basic Flex application]]></description></item><item><title>SYS-CON Radio interviews Computer Associates</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://events.sys-con.com/read/43777.htm</guid><link>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43777.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43777_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[SYS-CON Radio interviews Sam Greenblatt, Senior VP and Chief Architect of the Linux Technology Group for Computer Associates.]]></description></item><item><title>SYS-CON Radio interviews Common Sense Advisory</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://events.sys-con.com/read/43778.htm</guid><link>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43778.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43778_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[SYS-CON Radio interviews Don DePalma, President and Founder of Common Sense Advisory]]></description></item><item><title>SYS-CON Radio interviews Sonic Software</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://events.sys-con.com/read/43779.htm</guid><link>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43779.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43779_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[SYS-CON Radio interviews David Chappell, Chief Technology Evangelist and VP of Sonic Software]]></description></item><item><title>SYS-CON Radio interviews Internosis</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://events.sys-con.com/read/43780.htm</guid><link>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43780.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43780_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[SYS-CON Radio interviews John Hollinger, CTO of Internosis]]></description></item><item><title>SYS-CON Radio interviews New Aspects of Software</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://events.sys-con.com/read/43781.htm</guid><link>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43781.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2004 00:00:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://events.sys-con.com/read/43781_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[SYS-CON Radio interviews Ron Bodkin, founder New Aspects of Software]]></description></item></channel></rss>
