For people interested in BD-Java and Cable Java development, JavaONE this year will have an entire day session on Blu-ray and Cable development:

I'll most likely be there as well.

Thank you so much for the heads up.

I'm defintitely attending this.

Seems to be interesting...

too bad it's not near LA, as I'd like to visit my old haunts in that city while over there....

I just went to a Spring seminar by the local Java SIG over at the Google.com offices in NYC, and having several hundred fellow developers around is pretty exciting - JavaOne will probably have 15,000-20,000 developers all crammed into the area...you'll be able to smell GEEK sweat all the way to LA :D

Looks like there are other sessions as well on Blu-ray, not sure whether these are included in the one-day thing...

Sounds like BD-J is really going to take off with BD titles late this year or early next year. Cool.

asj, if you get to work on a BD-J title, let us know which one after it's been released of course. Also it's always good to get feedback as to what content consumers want on BD-J after you've put in what you'd want to see in a BD-J app.

If only I'm more geeky, I'd go. :D
