Mastering Mustang, Developing Dolphin
Filed under: javaone javase6 javase7

Here are the slides for the presentation Mark and I gave on the upcoming and future release of the Java SE platform here:

Mastering Mustang, Developing Dolphin (PDF, 2.4mb)

Enjoy !

So as the last orange backpack leaves Moscone, we see the end of another JavaOne. Something odd happens each JavaOne, despite all the best efforts of the presenters and attendees to control the messaging, what ends up being memorable takes on a life of its own as the week progresses. For me, the two stars of the show were both technical (yay), and were

• the Ugly-Duckling-to-Swan story of Java EE 5 (which Bill describes here)
  
• the activities bringing scripting languages onto Java SE (which I have talked about before)
  

I also sensed people having more fun both at the conference and in their approach to the technology this year than in past years. Ya, that for me was the highlight.
