6:30pm- 9:00pm

We all know that any time representatives from both Microsoft and Sun Microsystems are in the same room it's a newsworthy event! The Software Development Forum is pleased to bring you this informative, yet fun, look at one of today's more hotly debated technologies.

This event will provide a fair look at both Microsoft's .NET and Sun Microsystems' Java(tm) 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) technologies side-by-side, feature-by-feature in an entertaining mock debate format. This debate will mimic the World Wrestling Entertainment's popular SmackDown! event by having two panels of contenders, rounds of questions, referees and penalty cards. As opposed to the television show, however, no actual "winner" will be declared.  We will leave that decision entirely up to you!

Pre-registration will be the only assurance that your ring-side seat to this event will be saved.
