O'REILLY'S JAVA ENTERPRISE COMPUTING CONFERENCE SET FOR MARCH 2000 IN SANTA CLARA.

IT book publisher O'Reilly and Associates last week announced a new technical conference for developers of enterprise-class Java-based applications. The four-day event will be held at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara, Calif., March 27-30, 2000, and includes two days of tutorial programs and a two-day, multi-tracked symposium.

The O'Reilly Java Conference will focus on key technologies for developing large-scale Java applications including: Enterprise Java Beans; Servlets and Java Server Pages; Java and XML; Security in Java applications; and Client-side user interfaces.

"We're bringing together the most knowledgeable speakers in the industry to look critically at the state of Java technology and its use in enterprise applications," says Joseph McIntyre, director of O'Reilly's conference operations. "This event will have O'Reilly's independent, pull-no-punches perspective on the work Sun and others are doing in Java. We'll separate out the promise from the reality, and give practical information on the best of bleeding-edge Java technology. Our goal is for attendees to leave with the feeling that they have new tools to tackle even more sophisticated projects using Java." For more information, visit http://conferences.oreilly.com/java.
