James Golsling introduced a brief view on the Java world this morning at Zürich. It is always a joy to listen a successful geek onthe stage, probably one of the most successful geek of the last few decades. He talked about the modern Java world and about our forever perspective (following his words, forever == the next ten years). Here it comes the highlights:
Statistics, specially on smart...
Java conferences are always a joy of technology and networking
but sometimes we just miss its surroundings because it is quite
difficult to concentrate in our lives while we are exposed to a large
amount of cool information. Good meals, city attractions and a lot of
interesting moments are just skipped in favor of the Java novelties on
the stage. The more you participate of such events, the more...
The SUN Certification Reception during JavaOne brought us one of the most wanted news: the memory tests will be replaced by real coding certification. We can wait the new certification model up to the the end of this year as far I remember (the drinks and cocktails were really competing with the front speakers.. remarkable party).
I am still looking for official pages about that great news, but...

JavaOne is over now, a week of strong networking and some news from the Java Universe and its business. I need to wait more one hour to my boarding time, so I guess it is a good moment to a draft of topics I can remember after the last night at the Chieftain:
Pervasive JavaFX: this was the technology of this JavaOne, it was quoted in almost all sessions I attended. A young technology (miles to...
What is Alice?
Alice is a tool to teach
programming skills to people who has never programmed before. It is a
development environment based on scripts to produce 3D scenes. The developer
creates characters (objects) and starts to add functionality (method) to
the character using the drag-and-drop features of the Swing interface.
After creating the scene, the student can export the Java code that...
The reception on the Webtide booth was already quite agile
since they asked me to open the help of the Eclipse and Jetty was
already there - awsome!
Tell me about Jetty.
Jetty is both a web application server and a web client
server, because you have the HTTP server and you also have some
asynchronous features that enabled the Jetty to be used also as
middleware between its clients and another...
