Review/Preview: 2006 and 2007 in Java
Publish Date: Dec. 20, 20062006 will be remembered as the year that Sun open-sourced Java under the GPL, that EJB 3.0 finally shipped, and that Google surprised everyone with its Google Web Toolkit. But how will history record the results of these events? For the 2006 year-ender, ONJava editor Chris Adamson looks at the year's events through the lens of how they may play out in 2007. What Is Java
Publish Date: Mar. 8, 2006Everyone knows what Java is, right? Interpreted code, applets, proprietary, and slow. Wrong, wrong, wrong, and wrong. In its second decade, it's time to re-evaluate Java: the language and the virtual machine are going their own ways, its open source sub-community is vibrant and independent, and developers are taking the best ideas from other languages and frameworks and bringing them to Java. In this article, ONJava editor Chris Adamson tries to reset old assumptions about Java to fit modern realities. The Java Podcasters, Part 2
Publish Date: Feb. 1, 2006In this second article on Java-oriented podcasting, some more unique voices are featured, including a single-product podcast, and an amusing show that kicks back its feet and declares itself "drunk and retired". In this article, we interview the voices behind the ZDot, NetBeans Podcast, and DrunkAndRetired.com podcasts. The Java Podcasters, Part 1
Publish Date: Jan. 25, 2006As podcasting takes off, a number of podcasts specifically tailored to the Java developer have become available. Ranging from the serious to the silly, covering the whole Java realm or just a single product, there seems to be something for every developer with a set of headphones. In this article, we interview the voices behind the Swampcast and Java Posse podcasts. ONJava: 2005 Year in Review
Publish Date: Dec. 21, 20052005 may not have seen a new version of Java, but it was a year of tremendous activity that saw Java assert its popularity, even while some wondered how well-suited Java is for its second decade. In this article, ONJava editor Chris Adamson wraps up the year in Java by looking back at some of the year's most popular articles. Ruby the Rival
Publish Date: Nov. 16, 2005Bruce Tate's Beyond Java picks Ruby as the front-runner among languages that could succeed Java among enterprise developers. But what's so great about Ruby--and frankly, what's wrong with Java? We asked some top Java bloggers, authors, and developers what they think of Ruby's challenge. ONJava 2005 Reader Survey Results, Part 2
Publish Date: Sep. 28, 2005Is there anything else you'd like to tell our Java editors? Well, 226 people responding to the 2005 ONJava Reader Survey did. In this article, we show what they said and discuss what we're doing with the site. ONJava 2005 Reader Survey Results, Part 1
Publish Date: Sep. 21, 2005We asked who you are and what you're doing, and 988 people replied in just 12 days. In this first article of a two-part series, we reveal the results of the 2005 ONJava Reader Survey. Announcing the 2005 ONJava Reader Survey
Publish Date: Sep. 7, 2005The 2005 ONJava Reader Survey is underway. This is your opportunity to steer the site by helping us understand what you use, what you're interested in, and where you think Java is going. JavaOne 2005: Participate in the Future of Java
Publish Date: Jun. 29, 2005JavaOne 2005 is touting the successes of Java, charting the next versions of Java's standard and enterprise editions, and calling on members of the Java community to participate in Java's future. What's New For Developers in QuickTime
Publish Date: Jun. 28, 2005In Part 1 of this series, Chris Adamson covered the new features of QT7 that end users will see. Today, he shows you some of the most prominent changes from a developer point of view, including: the QTKit API for Cocoa, the new QuickTime MetaData API, support for frame reordering codecs, Core Audio-based sound enhancements, and QuickTime for Java. Welcome to a New World: JBoss World 2005
Publish Date: Mar. 9, 2005JBoss World, held in Atlanta on March 1-2, kicked off with announcements of new directions for the company and a roundtable of customers discussing the popular application server. This article offers a recap of the opening presentations. QuickTime for Java Components
Publish Date: Jan. 26, 2005In this excerpt from QuickTime for Java: A Developer's Notebook, Chris Adamson introduces QuickTime components and how they enable runtime discovery of available features, including importers and exporters for graphics and movie formats. Streaming QuickTime with Java
Publish Date: Jan. 12, 2005Realtime multicast streaming came to QuickTime in version 5, but now, years later, it's not widely realized that it can be called from QuickTime for Java. Chris Adamson, author of QuickTime for Java: A Developer's Notebook, shows how it works. Results from the Second 2004 ONJava Reader Survey
Publish Date: Jan. 5, 2005Editor Chris Adamson summarizes the results of the recent reader survey, including favorite tools, platforms, and what you want to see on the site in 2005.

The Community of Web 2.0
Publish Date: Nov. 2, 2005

In this 48-minute audio program from the Web 2.0 conference, Tim O'Reilly speaks with Sun Microsystems COO Jonathan Schwartz and Mozilla Foundation president Mitchell Baker about developer communities, distribution, architectures and expandability, and the value of open source.

"...if you do program in Java and you are interested in developing QuickTime applications, then QuickTime for Java(TM): A Developer's Notebook by Chris Adamson (O'Reilly, 2005) should be on your bookshelf. Better yet, it should be propped open on your desk as you work your way though it."
