I'm a month late in posting this, but better late than never. The Java Posse Roundup was an Open Spaces conference in Crested Butte, CO. It was held March 4-8, and this was the second (hopefully annual) conference. The non-technical sessions , about which I already posted, were great, and the technical...

SRT Solutions will be hosting an RIA Jam, with Bruce Eckel, James Ward (Adobe) and Josh Holmes (Microsoft).
