Two Years at Sun Microsystems

Hi all,

Today marks the two-year anniversary at Sun Microsystems. While lying in bed this morning, I started thinking about all the things I've experienced at Sun. Here's a short (incomplete) list:

• The release of NetBeans 5.0 (it was released right after I started)
• The release of Sun Java Studio Creator 2.0 (I worked a little on this
• The release of Sun Java Studio Creator 2.1
• The release of NetBeans 5.5
• The release of Sun Java System Application Server 9
• The evolution of Sun Java Studio into NetBeans Visual Web Pack and its release
• The release of NetBeans 5.5.1
• The evolution of Visual Web Pack into NetBeans Web Application functionality
• The complete merging of the Visual Web and NetBeans Web Apps helpsets
• The open-sourcing of NetBeans and Java
• The introduction of Glassfish
• The creation of the NetBeans Community Docs program
• 147 blog entries to James's Blog (including this one)
Sun's return to profitability
• The move to a new location
• The arrival and departure of colleagues
• NetBeans 6.0 Beta 1 and Beta 2
• Lots of great feedback from users

See you tomorrow!
