"12 years of Java and the Internet. How did we get here and what does the future hold."

"12 years of Java and the Internet. How did we get here and what does the future hold."  James will review the parallel paths of Java and the Internet. Although both grew up in separate playpens, they ended up inexorably linked and intertwined.

His talk will range across the technology opportunities and challenges that will be faced by the leaders of business and government, as well as those who have to design and deploy these technologies, for the next Internet age.
