    Jim Grisanzio from Java Developer Relations talks with Ivar Grimstad, who is a Java Champion, a JCP Executive Committee Member, and a Jakarta EE Developer Advocate. Ivar is based in Sweden but travels to over 40 events a year talking about Java and Open Source with thousands of developers. He feels passionately about contributing to Java projects as the best way for young developers to learn Java and connect with the community, especially at Java conferences. Ivar has been working with Java professionally since 2000, but he's been solving problems with code since he was a little kid around 12 or 13 years old. "Java has been my go-to language for everything!" he says. "It's been here for 30 years and it'll probably be around for 30 more!"  Ivar Grimstad https://x.com/ivar_grimstad https://bsky.app/profile/theguywiththeduketattoo.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivargrimstad/ Duke's Corner https://dukescorner.libsyn.com https://bsky.app/profile/dukescorner.bsky.social Jim Grisanzio https://x.com/jimgris https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimgris/ https://jimgrisanzio.wordpress.com/
