SUN Tech Days 2007

Its been more than 24 hours since i attended SUN Tech days 2007, But the effect is as fresh as it was 24 hours ago. Yes, I attended SUN Tech days 2007 yesterday. "Awesome" is the word to describe it literally. Sun Tech days is a worldwide developer conference that SUN organises. In India, it is during 21-23 Feb, at Hyderabad.

The major 3 day event is supposed to take place at Hyderabad, but SUN also organized a 1 day event in cities - Pune, Mumbai, Delhi. I attended the Pune Event. The organizer's had arranged a satellite link to telecast welcome and keynote session. The SUN keynote was presented by Rich Green - SUN's visionary behind web technologies. The sessoin was excellent. He talked about web 2.0, open source and future of it as he sees it. This then followed with a SUN Technical Demo of some of their products not released yet.

Then we had some live presentations by SUN engineers. It included Java SE6 features, Java Persistence APIs. Then we had the best presentation of the day - Solaris The Developer Friendly OS. Frankly speaking, i had attended the event only for this session. The presentation was by Ananth Shrinivas - A SUN engineer at B'lore. He talked about various features of Solaris which really took the crowd to amaze. The features like DTrace, ZFS, Containers - They really cought my eye. Thats for Developers for Sure !!

I think this was a day i will remember for a long time - Nice experience ! Not to mention i had to bunk my company work, but it was worth !
