From the Chairman
Dear Software Professional,

Java rocks! And so does Eclipse, the most popular technology for Java tools. That’s why EclipseWorld 2008 focuses on enterprise Java development. EclipseWorld is the place to learn how to be a better Java developer using Eclipse-based tools and technologies.

At EclipseWorld 2008, we’ve assembled a class schedule that dives deeper in Java than ever before. Our faculty take you deep into the most popular parts of the Eclipse ecosystem, like the IDE, the testing tools, the modeling tools and the GUI tools. Whether it’s JavaServer Pages and AJAX, or Enterprise JavaBeans, you’ll learn about it at EclipseWorld 2008.

We also bring you to the cutting edge of Eclipse — and beyond — with sessions about the Ganymede Simultaneous Release, the huge update to dozens of Eclipse projects coming this summer. If you’re riding the Eclipse wave, EclipseWorld 2008 will be your best bet to hang out with the brains behind Ganymede. Learn it straight from the source at EclipseWorld 2008.

For the second year, EclipseWorld is in Reston, Va., right outside Washington, D.C. Close to Dulles Airport, it’s within commute distance of the tech-heavy regions of Maryland and northern Virginia, and a non-stop flight from just about everyplace. Attendees at last year’s EclipseWorld enjoyed the location and the conference hotel, and we know you will too.

If you’ve been to EclipseWorld before, you know that it’s specifically designed for Java software professionals who either use Eclipse today or are seriously considering the use of Eclipse tools and technologies. Our superb faculty of expert instructors includes many contributors to Eclipse’s core technologies as well as the newest projects. They know the platform inside and out — and are ready to pass their knowledge on to you.

At EclipseWorld 2008,

  • There are more than 60 classes and workshops to choose from, and even more learning opportunities available when you network with other software professionals during this focused conference.
  • The workshops cover one full day, and the technical classes span two days. This short program maximizes learning while minimizing your time out of the office.

Look at the course listing and build a custom program over these three days that will give you — and your team — immediate results. Sign up today to ensure your spot in the classes you want to take. Plus, you’ll qualify for our Early-Bird Discounts.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at EclipseWorld 2008!

Sincerely,

Alan Zeichick
Conference Chairman
