"Oracle is hoping to entice a younger generation of Java programmers into its fold by offering students complimentary admission to the upcoming JavaOne and Oracle Develop conferences.
"To qualify for a Discover Pass to the conferences, qualifying students must be 18 years old, enrolled in a nonprofit, accredited institution, and taking at least six course units, according to an official blog post Wednesday.
"The passes provide access to keynote speeches and a number of exhibition halls, as well as a special Java Frontier sessions track aimed at students. They can also enjoy technical sessions, hands-on lab events and "Birds-of-a-Feather" networking sessions -- space permitting."
