[PJUG Javamail] oopsla's coming up!

[Steve Metsker]

The annual OOPSLA <http://www.oopsla.org/>  conference is coming up in late
October, in Portland. The conference on "Object-Oriented Programming,
Systems, Languages & Applications" provides a lot of learning about the
latest thinking on how to do applied development. There are also frequent
peeks into the future of OO.

 

OOPSLA includes so many different things that you can't take them all in.
It's wise to plan your week. Your registration fee gets you access to demos
<http://www.oopsla.org/2006/program/program/demonstrations.html> , workshops
<http://www.oopsla.org/2006/submission/workshops/introduction_to_workshops.h
tml> , panel <http://www.oopsla.org/2006/program/program/panels.html>
discussions, invited

<http://www.oopsla.org/2006/program/program/lightning_talks.html>  talks,
posters <http://www.oopsla.org/2006/program/program/posters.html> , and
practitioner
<http://www.oopsla.org/2006/submission/practitioner_reports/introduction_to_
practitioner_reports.html>  reports.

In addition, the Onward!
<http://www.oopsla.org/2006/submission/onward/introduction_to_onward.html>
track is "the place to reveal the revolutionary, air the provocative, and
expose the subversive."

 

You can also take tutorials
<http://www.oopsla.org/2006/submission/tutorials/introduction_to_tutorials.h
tml>  on a huge variety of classic and cutting edge topics. These tutorials
entail extra fees ($360 per half-day session for ACM members) and are
presented by world class experts who know their stuff and know how to teach
it.
