Happy Anniversary, java.netEditor's note: Duke has been busy helping java.net celebrate our second anniversary: June 10, 2005.
Our Head First Design Pattern friends Eric and Elisabeth Freeman have sent a shot of a celebratory cake.

The festivities were worldwide. Thibaut Regnier of Club-Java, the French user group, checks in from Paris.

Amaury Rodriguez sends us a picture of Duke celebrating in Cuba.

James Gosling has contributed several pictures of Duke enjoying himself. The first is an image that was done for an event in Brazil; it's Duke in a "Saltimbanque" Carnival outfit. The can and stick Duke is holding are musical instruments used in Carnival.

Duke pauses to enjoy an anniversary beer with us.

James Gosling also passes on a cartoon from a few years ago that seems to capture the java.net spirit.

And finally, an image from the cover of the Italian edition of The Java Programming Language.

Daniel H. Steinberg runs dimsumthinking.com and is former editor-in-chief of java.net.
