Calling all European User Groups: Meet the Rock Stars of software
development at this year's JAOO 2009! Rub elbows with Pearson authors
speaking on the world's hottest Java, Ruby, .NET, Object-Oriented
topics. Check out the all-star lineup

4f5b3&id=3D5f1694c84d&e=3DNTfKKlHk7k>.

What is JAOO? It's a Developer's event held every year in Aarhus,
Denmark. JAOO originally stood for "Java and Object-Oriented" and
focused on Java-based technologies. Today it has evolved into a more
in-depth conference with a wider set of content such as .NET and
Ruby-based technologies along with a focus on the softer side of
software development: process improvement, patterns, and enterprise
architecture.
