- My Technology Resolutions for 2009January 6
-
It's that time of year where I try to decide what technologies I'm going to focus on for the next few months, a developer's new year resolutions. 2008 was a good year but I didn't get around to learning everything in depth (who does!). So here's my list of topics:

If you want to retest, you have to stop and start over. This is especially annoying when loading Eclipse takes more than 10 seconds, which is usually the case.

-
At the moment, Very Early Registration is available for EclipseCon 2009. But only until midnight December 31. It's a saving of $300 over the standard early bird registration. Considering the current state of the economy, it's worth taking up the offer.You can find out more about the conference on the EclipseCon 2009 site.
