  73% of all Java EE projects.

The pdf paper has some nice graphics illustrating the development of glassfish from 2004 until now.

The Crisis of Credit

The amazing visualization of The Crisis of Credit makes me publish my first business related blog entry. Why not teaching IT related topics like this? Does anyone know which tool to use if you want to create something like this?

Java One 2009

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to participate at the java one conference in San Francisco this year. But due to all of the bloggers and especially twitter it wasn't difficult to keep in touch.

This page shows all the real time tweets for java one.

Within the next few days and weeks i will look at the topics, which played an important role at java one, such as

• Glassfish V3Preview and JavaEE6
• Explore JavaFX1.2 (the last time I was working with javafx was on december. Since then Ihaven't done anything with it.
• JDK7 Preview

Last but not least, I found a nice blog entry which explains how javaEE, spring and a OSGI Bundle, all work together with GlassFish V3.

So there's enough to read and code. Have fun!
