Feed Description: Welcome to my blog. It happened. I succumbed to the vanity exercise that a weblog is and started my own one. Here youll find information and thoughts (some worth reading, some not) on Java, J2EE, Software Architecture, Music and Parapolitics
Judging from the new Java sites (java.com
& java.net), the renewed look and
logo, and the site's attitude, it looks like Java is finally going back to
the roots. The technology first thought for set-top boxes, portable
devices and the like (know Star*7 anyone?) is now being [again] positioned
as quite fit for the end customer market.
How fine - and smart. In
a world where people's omnipresent link with technology is their mobile,
positioning Java as the naturally ubiquitous environment - that it
actually is starting to be - in a no-so-techie site is quite quite the way
to go. Check it out at java.com.
This, I hope, will fill the
previous gap - where a non-technical individual would reach
java.sun.com and find a splendid first page - with an article on unchecked
exceptions, for example. Sun is aiming at 3.5 million Java Developers next
1-2 years. Let's see what they get.
