Thanks to the power of server-side scripting, we are now powering the OTN Java Developer Center and SOA Technology Center (and others soon to follow) with del.icio.us.

This AM Oracle announced its acquisition of Tangosol, whose Coherence technology provides in-memory infrastructure (or a data grid, as Tangosol calls it) for real-time analytics and high-performance applications that demand Extreme Transaction Processing (XTP) - for real-time monitoring and globally distributed, high-volume financial transaction processing, for example. As I blog at this moment, Oracle Fusion Middleware SVP Thomas Kurian is explaining Oracle's roadmap for...
