The State of the Art in Dependency Injection - Rod Johnson
Rod is one of the world's leading authorities on Java and J2EE development. He is a best-selling author, experienced consultant, and open source developer, as well as a popular conference speaker.
Rod's best-selling Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development (2002) was one of the most influential books ever published on J2EE. The sequel, J2EE without EJB (July 2004, with Juergen Hoeller), has proven almost equally significant, establishing a comprehensive vision for lightweight, post-EJB J2EE development.
Rod has extensive experience as a consultant in a wide range of industries: principally, finance, media and insurance. He has specialized in server-side Java development since 1996. Prior to that, he worked mainly in C and C++.
His experience as a consultant has led him to see problems from a client's perspective as well as a technology perspective, and has driven his influential criticism of bloated, inefficient, orthodox approaches to J2EE architecture, which have delivered very poor results for stakeholders.
Rod is the founder of the Spring Framework, which began from code published with Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development. Along with Juergen Hoeller, he continues to lead the development of Spring.
He regularly speaks at conferences in the US, Europe and Asia, including the ServerSide Symposium (2003, 2004 and 2005), JavaPolis (Europe's leading Java conference), and JAOO (2004). Engagements in 2005 include two presentations at JavaOne 2005 and a keynote at the JavaWorld 2005 conference (Tokyo, June).
Rod serves in the JCP on the Expert Groups defining the Servlet 2.4 and JDO 2.0 specifications.
Rod continues to be actively involved in client projects at Interface21, as well as Spring development, writing and evangelism.

Keynote: Adrian Colyer and Rob Harrop - Adrian Colyer and Rob Harrop
Adrian Colyer is the leader of the AspectJ open source project and a well-known industry expert on the topic of aspect-oriented programming (AOP). He is a co-author of the book "Eclipse AspectJ : Aspect-Oriented Programming in Eclipse with AspectJ and AJDT," and has also published numerous book chapters, articles and published papers. His short essay, "AOP without the buzzwords" has been described as "the best explanation of AOP, ever."
In 2004, Adrian was recognised as one of the top 100 young innovators in the world by MIT Technology Review for his contributions to the development and adoption of aspect-oriented programming in industry.
Adrian is a popular conference speaker and panelist at Java conferences and events around the world including the ServerSide Symposium, JavaPolis and JavaZone. He served on the Program Committee for the International Conference in Aspect Oriented Software Development for the 2004, 2005, and 2006 conferences, and was the first Industry Chair of the conference in 2002.
Adrian founded the AspectJ Development Tools project (AJDT) on Eclipse.org in 2003, a project that continues to lead the world in providing IDE support for AOP. As leader of the AspectJ project, Adrian has overseen several releases of the compiler and designed and implemented many of the AspectJ 5 language extensions to support Java 5 features such as generics and annotations. He is the author of the "AspectJ 5 Developer's Notebook" available from the AspectJ website.
Prior to joining Interface21, Adrian gained over a decade of experience in building enterprise middleware at IBM. Whilst there he built what he believes to be the best aspect-oriented development team in the industry at the time of his departure, and oversaw the introduction of aspect-oriented programming to many IBM development teams.
At Interface21, Adrian contributes to the Spring, AspectJ, and AJDT open source projects and provides education, training, and consultancy to clients working with Spring and AspectJ. He is also actively involved in writing and evangelism on these subjects.
