Tracks at QCon are day long and run sequentially in one room, allowing for interested attendees to totally emerse themselves in one topic. In addition to Ajax, QCon also features tracks on Java, .NET, Ruby, SOA, Agile, quality architecture attributes, investment banking architectures, Usability, and architecture case studies of sites like eBay & Amazon. QCon has been receiving a lot of attention in blogspace, most recently from Redmonk analyst
