Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Hello Codetown!
I just got this from Oracle:
We’re Moving Java Forward. Watch the Webcast Replay of the Java 7 Launch Today.
Dear Michael Levin,
Thank you for participating in the Java 7 live event and Webcast that celebrates our global community collaboration.
However, if you didn’t get a chance to join us for the live event or Webcast today, you can still watch a replay of the entire Java 7 celebration event. Just click here.
You’ll get to watch an amazing four-and-a-half-hour program that includes a one-hour general session delivered from Redwood Shores, California; London, England; and São Paulo, Brazil. You’ll see four engaging, 30-minute technical deep dives, which will provide the information you need to take immediate advantage of key Java 7 features. And, listen as an expert Q&A panel provides answers to questions submitted by the Java community via social media during the live broadcast.
But Java isn’t the only thing that’s moving forward. Duke has unleashed a new personality and is now available for a limited time in a 3-D, animated screen saver.
Thanks again for joining us in the important mission to move Java forward.
Watch the replay of the Java 7 Webcast now.
Duke and the Java Team
