One of the topics that is really catching my attention (and the attention of many others, apparently) is "portlets". And unfortunately for me, I won't be able to take in the course being offered by Unicon on that subject following the conference. I wish I could, but my schedule just won't allow it.

On the other hand, I have been finding myself knee deep in alligators (is that a saying?) of late, with our new IdM project on the horizon and all .... not to mention my daughter's swimming, soccer and piano. So maybe that's not entirely a bad thing.

If you *can* stay for a few days after the conference and are interested in portlet development, be sure to have a look at the Unicon offering. I believe that they still have a few spots available.

Me, I'll be taking in some of the conference portlet content for sure, just not the training ... this time.
