Java SE 7 has been out for over a year and is ready to download. The last publicly available release of Oracle JDK 6 is to be released in February, 2013. This means...

This year, the Global Day of Coderetreat is happening on December 8. It sounds cool and fun, and of course,...

50 Billion Served: Java Embedded on Devices

It doesn't matter if it is 50 billion or 24 billion, just suffice it to stay that there will be MANY connected devices in the year 2020. With just 24 billion devices, they will outnumber humans six to one! So as a developer, you don't want to ignore this opportunity. What if you could use your Java skills and deploy an app to a fraction of these devices (don't be greedy, how about just, say, 118,000 of them)? Fareed Suliman, Java ME Product Manager had lots of good news for...
