UberConf was held June 24 - June 27 in Denver, Colorado. For those unaware, this is essentially the largest single annual event under the NFJS umbrella and to a certain extent the culminating point of the US based tour. Unlike the usual NFJS events that are squarely locally focused, it's intent is to be a national/international conference. Consequently it has a larger set of attendees, speakers, tracks and sessions. This year's event was very vibrant and clearly a success by all measures.
I had six talks total over three days, essentially back-to-back. I had excellent attendance for all my sessions and had many of the same folks staying for multiple sessions which is always a very good sign. I did talks on Java EE 7/Java EE 8, the Cargo Tracker Java EE Blue Prints, JMS 2, aligning Java EE 7 with the HTML 5/JavaScript Rich Client landscape, JAX-RS 2 and aligning Java EE with the NoSQL landscape. I also helped out with Arun Gupta's excellent Java EE 7 lab. More details, including slide decks and code, posted on my personal blog.
