TheServerSide Java Symposium

(Tue Mar 08, 2005) [/Speaking#

Like many conferences, I find the real action happens along the fringes. It's there that you find one-on-one conversations that tickle your brain. TheServerSide Java Symposium this weekend in Vegas was certainly no exception for me. Above all else, it was a great opportunity to hang out with good friends and meet new ones.

I was pleasantly surprised that my automation and TDD talks were so well attended (and rated!) at a conference focused more on technology than technique. Thanks to all of you for not only listening, but also for asking thoughtful questions and for your kind comments afterwards. I hope it was as fun for you as it was for me.

As well, I appreciate that many of you pre-registered for a signed copy of my book or stopped by the booth to say that you already owned a copy. It was gratifying and humbling to hear from all of you. Thanks!
