What I Learned at JavaOne 2012 (part 2)
This is a followup to my previous post, What I Learned at JavaOne 2012 (part 1). In this post I’m going to cover the rest of the sessions I attended. Part 3 will cover the exhibitors (VMWare, TypeSafe, CloudBees, Jelastic, etc…).
Here are my notes for the following JavaOne sessions, somewhat grouped by category:
