• Be sure to check here regularly for updates to the show guide.

Yesterday’s part 1 was about the overall JavaOne focus and organization, the high-level schedule, infrastructure, as well as content tracks and the content catalog.

Today’s part 2 is my (subjective) list of content and noteworthy stuff I’d like bring to your attention (and attend myself, if I get a chance among all the other things that are going on that week … 😉

First, I’m the author and speaker of these two sessions:

• Getting Started with Embedded Java: Sense, Control, Store, Connect (24605) (Mon, 5:00 pm, HOL)

In this Hands-On-Lab we’ll be building a simple but complete embedded Java solution called EnviroTracker. We’ll walk through all the steps from hooking up the hardware, installing the necessary software, interfacing with I/O, to creating, deploying, and testing our application. I know the space for this lab is filling up fast, so be sure to sign up soon.

• Top 10 Free Tools and Libraries for Building Better Java ME Applications (24860) (Tue, 4:30 pm, BOF)

This is based on the idea that there are a number of free tools and libraries floating around that can help you build Java ME apps better and faster, but many developers aren’t familiar with them. So let’s list some of the ones we’ve been using and I’m sure you’ll be able to add some of your own favorites.

Ok, now for the other content from the Content Catalog.

Update 9/27:

Update 9/21:

• Sunday, Oct 2: Glassfish Community Event and Party (RSVP, please!)

Less than two weeks to JavaOne 2011 in San Francisco … High time for my annual and (admittedly quite subjective) “Mobile & Embedded Show Guide”.

Here it goes, part 1 (of 2):

First off, JavaOne 2011 will see a number of changes to address some of the feedback we got last year. JavaOne will be more community focused again in many ways: A standalone conference with dedicated adjacent venues, bigger keynote and exhibition halls, “The Zone” – bigger and improved, numerous networking opportunities and parties, and better layout and signage. That’s all goodness.

From a content perspective, this year will see more than 400 keynotes, technical sessions, BOFs, and Hands-On-Labs (HOLs) – including three Oracle keynotes and three partner keynotes, and around 50 exhibitors. More than enough to keep anyone busy!

As for the overall schedule (see here) – these are the high-order bits:

Sunday, Oct 2:

• 8:00 am – 5:00 pm: Java University (Hilton, separate registration required)
• 9:00 am – 5:00 pm: Oracle User Group Forums (Moscone West)
• 9:00 am – 11:00 am: Java Special Interest Group (Moscone South, Oracle PartnerNetwork invitation only)

• 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm: It’s a Wrap! (Yerba Buena Gardens)

“The Zone” is the area encompassing Hilton San Francisco, Hotel Nikko San Francisco, Parc 55 Wyndham, and the surrounding areas. It houses all JavaOne sessions and activities within easy walking distance. Here you’ll also find The Mason Street Cafe, The Buzz House, Candy Bar, Community Hub, Animation Station, Game Zone, Hang Spaces, The Powerplay Lounge, and The Store@The Zone. Check out the details here.

Content-wise, there will be seven (7) tracks this year (click on each track for a description):

• Core Java Platform
• Emerging Languages, Tools, and Techniques
• Enterprise Service Architectures and the Cloud
• Java EE Web Profile and Platform Technologies
• Java ME, Mobile, Embedded, and Devices
• Java SE, Client Side Technologies, and Rich User Experiences
• The Java Frontier

The Content Catalog is your one-stop shop: Search by track, type, day, venue, time, experience level, and more. Be sure to reserve your space right there – many of the sessions will be popular and fill up quickly!

Finally, keeping abreast with JavaOne and what’s happening is easy through Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Oracle Mix, and Oracle blogs:

That’s it today for part 1. Tomorrow, I’ll post part 2 of the guide with content tips and highlights, focusing (but not exclusively) on mobile and embedded.

Cheers,

Coinciding with the recent announcement of JavaOne 2011 in San Francisco, The Java Spotlight Podcast interviewed Sharat Chander, JavaOne Program Committee Chair.

Roger Brinkley speaks to Sharat about the Call For Papers, JavaOne tracks and content, and improvements and tweaks for the conference in October.

Enjoy!
