The Mythical Free Lunch

While most of us here are focused on Software Development West this week, we aren't forgetting that JavaOne is fast approaching.

JavaOne in San Francisco May 8 to 11 is the big Java conference of the year. The day before JavaOne starts, there's a related event of some importance for many Java developers: NetBeans Day. It's free for anyone who wants to attend, even if, for some odd reason, you aren't signed up for JavaOne.

And they really mean free. Including food and drinks. Apparently there still is such a thing as a free lunch. I know Netbeans was founded as a Czech company, but didn't the Czechs all turn into dedicated capitalists in 1989? Still, as a journalist I never question a free lunch. I just hope it's not beans.
