https://jugs.dev.java.net/sunjugprogram/events-visits.html

You don't want to miss this event. So, please save the date on your calendars now. This event is being promoted by several local Java developer groups. I highly recommend signing up right at noon on the day that the registration instructions are posted online. This event will fill up quickly and there will *not* be a waiting list.

Agenda
* 5:45-6:30pm Arrive & mingle
-- Pizza & Sodas provided by Sun Microsystems
* 6:30-6:45pm Announcements & Introductions
* 6:45-8:30pm The Feel of Java, Revisited by James Gosling

James Gosling will revisit the topic of his 1997 article entitled "The feel of Java" that was published in Computer, the flagship magazine of the IEEE Computer Society. This topic is particularly relevant in the context of the vigorous debate currently surrounding the various proposals for adding closures to the Java Language. We anticipate having both Neal Gafter and Joshua Bloch in attendance as well. At the conclusion of James' talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A where the current closures controversy will almost certainly come up.
