University computer science departments are rapidly becoming Microsoft-free zones, as Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP (LAMP) combine with Java to become the de-facto standard environment for students of programming.

Despite what you might read and hear about Google’s web dominance, this is not Google-owned world. Yahoo! may be playing second fiddle to the internet’s favorite search and ads service, but it still plays one hell of a tune in terms of numbers of users and the services it offers.
If you use Yahoo! for your […]

A brainchild of Sun Microsystems’ research wing, the Small Programmable Object Technology (Sun SPOT) platform code is now open to Java developers at large.
Sun SPOTs are palm-sized battery powered devices that can wirelessly relay data about movement, temperature and sound. They run on a virtual machine written almost entirely in Java called Squawk, and crank […]
