As in last years, Oracle will again have a big presence at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany.
Find us in hall 5, booth 271. At the booth, you can see several demos focusing on Oracle’s Internet of Things strategy and the benefits of Java for embedded software solutions, including showcase applications by partners such as Gemalto, Freescale, Eurotech, and Hitachi.
I will be doing some sessions as well (download the full conference program here):
- Thu, Feb 27, 9:30: A hands-on tutorial on “Desktop to Internet of Things in 12 Seconds with Java ME Embedded”
- Thu, Feb 27, 15:30: “Trust Me, I am an M2M Device”
So, pick up some Java while you’re at Embedded World, and not just the technology kind, but also the hot, coffee kind 😉
See you at Embedded World!
