Presentation: Tweet"Putting Java in its Place"
This is a story about the history of Java, its ambitions and its walk on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It is about bloody noses, falling down and getting back up. It is about failing, learning and finally doing it right. It is about being swept by the waves of Hype and Hope and keeping ones head above water. No glorious stories here, consider it more of a self-critical diary of a soldier in Duke's army.
Rob is taking a look at nearly 20 years of Java experience and how this all worked out for his environment and himself. He takes the practical angle by showing where the application of Java did not go very well and were it proved to be useful beyond expectation. At the end of this session you will have a good feel what Java is good for from a historical perspective and when you better use something else.
