An early look at the types of sessions we can expect at JavaOne [1] 2012 is now available with news getting out about which abstracts have been accepted and which have been declined [2]. In this post, I look at some of the early announcements from people who have reported their abstracts being accepted. Twitter #JavaOne [3] is one of the best sources [4] for early information on accepted (and declined [5]) JavaOne presentations and much of the early details are available there.
Mobile development seems to be a big theme for JavaOne 20212. @MichaelSamarin [6] announced that "Java for Mobile Devices: New Horizons with Fantastic New Devices [7]" has been accepted. Jay Balunas [8] announced acceptance of "Front-to-Back Security for Mobile, HTML5, and Java EE Applications [9]." Vinicius [10] tweeted that his session "about using your old Java ME phone to build robots and cool hacking [11]" was accepted.
Adam Bien [12] reports on four Java EE-related sessions [13] accepted for JavaOne 2012: "Interactive On-Stage Java EE Overengineering," "Stress-Testing Java EE 6 Applications Without Stress," "Building Serious JavaFX 2 Applications," and "Java EE 6/7: The Lean Parts." Andrew Lee Rubinger [14] will be presenting two sessions on Java EE [15]. Lincoln Baxter III [16] will be presenting [17] on JBossForge [18]. Marc Teutelink [19] has announced acceptance of "Enterprise Search in Action [20]."
Mohamed Taman [21] writes that two Java SE 7/NIO presentations and a JavaFX presentation [22] have been accepted. Andres Almiray [23] and Peter Pilgrim [24] have announced [25] the selection of three presentations [26] on JavaFX and rich clients [27].
Marcus Lagergren [28] will be speaking on "dynamic languages on the JVM [29]" and promises the talk to be advanced.
The Java REST framework Forest [30] will be the subject of a presentation [31] at JavaOne 2012. A session on Eclipse DBWS [32] will be presented [33] by Lonneke Dikmans [34]. Scala [35] and Play [36] fans will be pleased to hear that the abstract "Modern Java Web Development with Play Framework 2.0" was accepted.
At JavaOne 2011, I attended several sessions related to Java performance and Java command-line options. Staffan Larsen [37] reports that "Diagnosing Your Application on the JVM [38]" has been accepted for JavaOne 2012.
Mark Stephens [39] has blogged about the BOF [40] "Lessons Learned in Writing a PDF-to-JavaFX Converter for NetBeans" being accepted. Cross-build injection attacks [41] is the subject of another accepted JavaOne 2012 abstract [42].
Of course, you cannot have a software development conference in 2012 without talk of the cloud and it has been announced that there will be a session "How we took our server-side application to the Cloud and liked what we got [43]."
With only a small subset of JavaOne 2012 acceptances being publicly announced at this time, there is already a wide variety of interesting topics available.
