Mystic will be in attendance in Vegas for The Server Side Java Symposium this year, as we’ve mentioned. We’ll be doing regular updates and reviews of the sessions we attend, and what was learned by the presenters. As we are also giving a talk on Friday, we know how hard each speaker has worked to put together their presentations and applaud them all in advance. If you’re coming to the conference, stop by on Friday at 3PM for our talk on Apache Wicket!

Reviewing the schedule this year, a theme of main topics seems to have emerged: SOA, Groovy, and tools to ramp up on X framework.

Sessions we’ll definitely be attending:

• The keynotes (Neal Ford, Rod Johnson, Jon Kern)
• Mission-Critical Cloud/Enterprise Hybrid Applications Case Study – Eugene Ciurana
• The Rules of SOA – A Road to a Successful SOA Implementation – Jeff Genender
• Navigating the SOA Mine Field: Optimized Application Architectures – Heath Kesler
• Rapid, Large-scale SOA – Connected Products at LeapFrog Enterprises – Jason Whaley
• Architecting Applications Using Apache Wicket – Andrew Lombardi

If we’ve missed any that you guys think might be great, let me know … there are many time slots in the agenda that are a toss up right now. Check out the agenda here.
