JavaOne on the Cheap

I won't be speaking at JavaOne this year, and didn't get a pass through work.

Regular tickets to JavaOne are… a bit pricey for someone to finance out of pocket, but there is an option for folks who want to see a bit of things:  There's a JavaOne Discover pass, which cost $75 ($50 with a discount code) before Friday.  It's $125 on site.   It gives access to keynotes and the show floor - while not as fun as the speaker sessions, I decided that for me, it's worth it.

So, I'll be going to JavaOne this year after all, if only for a little while.  Hope to see you there!
