Russian Developers Have Their Say: Janice Heiss Reports From St. Petersburg

SDN staff writer Janice J. Heiss recently published her impressions of Tech Days 2008 in St. Petersburg, Russia: "None of the students I talked to seems to have the luxury of being casual about their future in the way that many American young people seem to be. Economic necessity seemed to dictate their technology preferences more than anything else." Read more.

SDN Gets a Facelift

The front page of the Sun Developer Network -- developers.sun.com -- has a new look, and we want to share some of the thinking behind the changes and find out what you think.

First of all, you can meet some of the writers and editors on our staff as they discuss technical topics of the day. With that in mind, we've launched the Update Center. We think this a fun way for readers to stay on top of what's hot, and a great way to get to know some of the folks behind the scenes. Staff writer Robert Eckstein is up first and takes on the topic of JavaFX technology.

Look for links to technical tips and a quiz or poll in the right navigation bar. And in case you didn't notice, the Sun Tech Days link in the right navigation bar is using hCalendar microformats for the events. Learn more about microformats.

Lots of smart folks like you come to Sun's developer sites, so we're highlighting your contributions front and center in the SDN Share program. Hopefully, this will help encourage the Sun developer community to participate and learn from each other.

Blogs, blogs, and more blogs -- the most interesting will be featured on the front page each week.

We've made it easier to find all things developer by adding the Developer Resources section, with links to everything from training and certification to the New to Java Center. Look for information on new technologies, products, programs, and events at the top of the page, so you won't miss a thing.

Let us know what you think. We are open to suggestions and want you to keep coming back for the developer information you need, and perhaps a little fun.
