Experienced Java Architect Thorbiörn Fritzon from Sun Microsystems will give a workshop for students and try to answer the following questions :
– Where will Java be in ten years?
– Will it survive or will it be replaced by .NET or Ruby on Rails and similar super productive frameworks?
– Will Java be the next COBOL, an embarrassing legacy language with huge maintenance costs and no future?
– Will all money and time we’ve invested in learning Java only go to waste?
