A New Great Way to Learn About Solaris

We hear now and then that some of our Sun sites are difficult to navigate, or overloaded with information. That's a problem we are constantly improving. As of October 10th, Sun introduced a new way to learn about the Solaris Operating System that is interactive, fun, and easy to navigate. Check out the Solaris Campus in Second Life!

I have to admit, I'm not a Solaris OS expert by any means and actually know little about it. But I learned a lot by walking through the Solaris Camp, clicking signs for notes with information and urls, clicking presentations I could save to my desktop, and best of all, there is a live Sun employee there who was willing and able to answer all of my questions.

The Solaris Camp is built in such a way that it is visual pleasing, easy to navigate, and not too cluttered. You can get information from what Solaris is to getting certified. Unlike having to sift through complex navigation of some web sites, this region of Sun's makes finding information about Solaris, including Sun Solve, super easy. There is no getting lost here, and the information is useful and interesting. You can even get tips on installation, and where to go for more in depth details.

No matter whether you are a newbie to the Solaris platform, or have a lot of experience, the Solaris Campus should prove valuable to you and help you get the information you need.

As a writer in the Java Programming Language Land (java.sun.com), I am hoping for a future Java Campus. We'll see!
