JavaOne 2013 already feels like a lifetime away. There is a melancholy in the wind as I sit in a rental car driving out from San Francisco airport.

The Conference Key Report Part 1 Report Part 2 Report Part 3: Analysis & Conclusions This year’s conference, in my opinion, was the best that Oracle have produced in the three years that it has taken over the stewardship of Java.
