JavaOne: Is it Worth the Cost?

Icon 4 Comments

Quote

I’ve always thought it would be cool to attend a JavaOne conference for a day or two. Unfortunately the location and costs have always deterred me. So, I’m wondering: Is it worth the cost of registration, the cost of a cross-country flight, and potential missed work? If you’ve been in the...

Can't help but ask why you claimed it was a (DIC Edition) when you are just linking back to your external blog. Couldn't you just copy and paste it, with at least a quote from the link? I know its your blog, but it is featured :P.

Just some feedback. :)

I explained why I'm calling it "DIC Edition" in my first post:

...the main point of blogging is for others to read. So, to that end, I will be posting links to new external posts here in my blog. I may also make more DIC-relevant and miscellaneous posts here that will not be on my external blog (hence the "DIC edition" nomenclature)

This is only my second post, so if you're patient you will see some DIC-specific posts. I'm not saying they'll be ground-breaking material. But it will probably be stuff that doesn't fit for my blog.

Just for you, I've included a "preview" of the post. ;) I've posted the text that is be shown in the preview of my RSS feed. I'll try to continue doing it that way until there is a plug-in that will grab it for me.

Now, did you have a comment to make about my blog post, or were you just writing to complain? ;)

I didn't mean to complain, sorry if I came across that way :P, its just that the point was I'd probably be more interested in reading something if I had a small idea about the interesting arguments / topics the post produced (after visiting </DIC>, I have sparked a paranoia for.. It's a Trap! :D) lol. Also, in Australia, pretty much the only thing we hear about is E3 (I wouldn't even go out of my way to visit that despite how cool it looks), so no I personally wouldn't go to JavaOne if it involved a plane ticket. :)

Don't sweat it. I was being kind of tongue-in-cheek when I said, "complain" (hence the smiley). The previews are definitely a good idea.
