At the Jazoon, the international conference on Java technology (Zurich, June 23-25), James Gosling, the father of the Java programming language, will deliver the opening Keynote. So if you missed JavaOne this year, just attend Jazoon’09 and benefit from inside information and updates, but also get latest news about the future of Java. 

Besides James Gosling, Jazoon’09 features many other interesting speakers from the Java world including Neal Ford, Ivar Jacobson, Adrian Colyer and Danny Coward. As a special guest we are pleased to announce Linda Cureton, CIO of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center in the USA. She will deliver the Jazoon’09 closing Keynote.

Moreover, as the first developer conference in Europe, Jazoon’09 launched a competition for young speakers aged 26 and under. Out of the several dozen submissions, an expert jury has selected the three most promising. The finalists of the Canoo sponsored “Jazoon Rookie 2009” are:

João Arthur Brunet Monteiro - Brazil
Bettina Polasek - Hungary
Deni Lukmanul Hakim - Indonesia

On 24 June 2009, the conference audience and the jury will vote on the winner. Canoo is very exited to be involved in such an event, as the contest is an opportunity for creative minds under the age of 26 to present their ideas to a broad public of experts. Facing the present shortage of skilled IT specialists, it was an obvious decision for Canoo to actively support the advancement of young professionals and new ideas.
