CIO&CTOLive! Awards Ceremony

Attended this Tech Council of Maryland event last night. I didn't hear any mention of software development, but the emphasis on the strengthening role of IT in business strategy made it clear that methodologies which connect the technologist to the business side of the house (such as Agile Software Development) are going to be key.

Java Persistence API

Is anyone using
this yet?

I am thinking of using hibernate in a new project, but wish the Java Persistence API was implemented by Apache.
