Ranjith’s Castle

I have been working on Java and Advanced Java concepts for about six years from now.

How many of you remember that JAVA we use daily is a product of SUN Microsystem. Such a great technology company  has made a profit and the best quarter in the fourth quarter of 2006-07 after it did in 2001 [ Man that is after 6 years].  Jonathan Schwartz, One of the greatest positive man writes in his blog on the story of the last quarter with a nice quote, “You think you can or you think you can’t - either way , You are right.”.  Sunmicrosystem’s product java and advanced java has been the back bone for a lot of companies earning in billions. Java has made life of a developer and companies so easy to convert ideas to real things.

I thought of two things for SUN :

• Sun must have charged a couple of dollars or more for every jdk/jre bundled with a product as a royalty or some dollars for the installed services.
• Sun must have named its binary files as SunJcompile[javac] and SunJRun[java] for its binaries for every one to remember Sun with Java.

Appreciating SUN for providing such a strong programming language.
