Jim Grisanzio from Java Developer Relations talks with Bruno Souza, who is a Java Champion, leader of the SouJava User Group in Brazil, and a member of the JCP Executive Committee. Bruno received the first Java Community Lifetime Achievement recognition in October 2022 at JavaOne in Las Vegas. "I was totally surprised! I was jumping up and down! I was so honored! It's an honor to be a member of that group." he said. Bruno Souza is known as the "JavaMan" from Brazil and that nickname started back at Sun when Java was announced and Bruno started evangelizing the technology. Bruno's message to the community was "Open Standards and Open Source" as he began his community building efforts around Java. He continually brought to Brazil FOSS and Standards experts for community discussions, and he advocated for a standards-based Open Source implementation of Java that would pass the TCK. Bruno left Sun and then returned, and he also joined the JCP (Java Community Process). Now all these years later we have OpenJDK, and open JCP, and hundreds of independent JUGs that can participate in community building and also Java development. "Maybe my greatest pride, I think, is the idea of the Java User Groups community," Bruno says. "We have OpenJDK for development and the JCP for standards, but for me the real Java community is the Java User Groups! These are all volunteers who meet and help others participate and learn." Bruno in recent years has been talking a lot about building reputation and career by embracing the open-source lifestyle — writing code in Java, contributing to Open Source, and helping build the community itself. Since our work lives in public mailing lists and open-source code repositories, we earn credibility by being visible, contributing, engaging the community, and helping others get involve as well, Bruno says.  Bruno advises that career is a long-term project: "The more you work on it, the more you grow, the more results you have. So, the sooner you start the better. This is not a sprint! This takes time." Getting back to Java itself, Bruno, like most Java developers, prefers the 6-month release cadence over the older system of multi-year development and release cycles. There is a constant flow of technology now which allows for more interactions between the Oracle engineers and engineers in the community. "Everything you see today in Java is possible because of the 6-month release process. I just loved it when the guys did that! I think it's amazing! The fact that we now have two releases per year changed Java. I think we're positioning Java to be even stronger in the years to come. I'm very excited about the whole thing," Bruno says. Throughout this conversation Bruno provides a wonderful history of Java since he's been involved from the very beginning! "People don't remember that Java was a community from the very beginning!" Bruno says. “We were able to look at the source code from the very beginning and that allowed us to build the community from the very beginning with lots of other companies joining." And then the JCP was created to allow Sun and the community to discuss the standardization of Java. And then OpenJDK was a huge step because now Java would be everywhere with Oracle leading and building the community. "Java is more participative today under Oracle than during the Sun times." "Java + Open Source + Community: That's what grows our career. That's what grows Java too!" — Bruno Souza Bruno Souza https://x.com/brjavaman  https://x.com/SouJava  Duke's Corner Java Podcast  https://dukescorner.libsyn.com  Jim Grisanzio  https://x.com/jimgris  https://jimgrisanzio.wordpress.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimgris/

Jim Grisanzio from Java Developer Relations talks with Trisha Gee, an author, a Java Champion, and a Developer Advocate at Gradle. In February 2025 at Jfokus in Stockholm Trisha received the Java Community Lifetime Achievement Award from Sharat Chander from Oracle Java Developer Relations. Trisha has been a Java developer for 25 years, and since 2011 she's been actively blogging, presenting technical sessions at conferences, and evangelizing Java globally. Recently, Trisha has moved from a traditional developer advocate role to more of a facilitator of developer advocacy internally at her company as well as externally. She works with engineering teams, marketing, teams, and sales teams to ensure the voice of the developer resonates throughout the organization and the community. Trisha is always evolving, she's constantly growing. In this conversation we talk about the JVM, the six month Java release cycle, writing code, the unique features that make Java special as a technology and as a community, Generative AI, design patterns, understanding requirements, asking questions, problem solving, edge cases, documentation, testing, open source, standards, advice for students, and teaching her 9-year old how to code in Java. Trisha is fascinated with the entire development life cycle of software projects and especially the skills developers need now for working with AI. “It feels like a very personal thing from him … he's such a huge powerhouse in the community. Obviously, he cares about the technology, but he understands that the technology isn't enough. It is about individuals stepping up but not just doing stuff for themselves but doing stuff to enable other people, to empower other people. It's the community that makes it a great place to be, and Shar is such a huge champion of that. He makes you feel really appreciated for making the effort to help others and to be involved in the community.” — Trisha Gee commenting about receiving the Java Community Lifetime Achievement recognition from Sharat Chander at Oracle.

Let me share a personal story. I started experimenting with Java on a Raspberry Pi about five years ago and blogged a few articles about it. But the more I experimented, the more I wrote down, and eventually, I had written a book… I worked on it for six months in a row, every evening and a lot of weekends. But the moment I received the box with my author copies was an incredible feeling. Holding a paper book with your name is a special moment.Fast forward to now. The 1000 paper copies are sold out. I have the last 10 copies in case you still want one ;-) But as I self-published the ebook, it's still for sale on Leanpub, and I keep updating it. That's one of the first significant differences between publishing a paper book and an ebook…. As an author, I got about 2 euros per paper book from the publisher, and LeanPub pays 80% royalties. Don't forget that I have to pay taxes on what I earn. So, if you do the math, you'll understand that the book didn't make me rich. But yes, it helped me in my career and was one of the reasons I became a Java Champion. So, we can argue about the "becoming famous".But that's only my story. I invited several guests to share their knowledge about book writing:Marián Varga is finishing a book and tells about publishing a book with a publisher.Wim Deblauwe wrote a few books and has much experience with self-publishing.Len Epp is the co-founder of Leanpub, so he can tell us a lot about ebooks.And we start with Trisha Gee, who wrote a lot of books!Guests   Trisha Gee       https://www.linkedin.com/in/trishagee/       https://jvm.social/@trisha_gee        https://bsky.app/profile/trishagee.bsky.social       https://x.com/trisha_gee     Len Epp       https://www.linkedin.com/in/lenepp/       https://bsky.app/profile/lenepp.bsky.social       https://x.com/lenepp    Wim Deblauwe      https://www.linkedin.com/in/wimdeblauwe/        https://bsky.app/profile/wimdeblauwe.com         https://www.youtube.com/@WimDeblauwe         https://www.wimdeblauwe.com/        https://www.widit.be/      Marián Varga       https://www.dastalvi.com/book/        https://www.linkedin.com/in/mari%C3%A1n-varga-4869a042/        https://mastodon.social/@mrvarga  Links   Book by Frank      https://webtechie.be/books/        https://leanpub.com/gettingstartedwithjavaontheraspberrypi/     Books and links by Trisha Gee      https://trishagee.com/books/       https://trishagee.com/2022/12/12/tools-and-processes-for-collaborating-on-a-book-remotely/       https://trishagee.com/2022/12/01/writing-a-book-is-hard/       https://medium.com/97-things       https://youtu.be/RzaNJzz5jW8       https://learning.oreilly.com/search/?q=trisha%20gee&rows=100&language=en&language=es    Books by Wim Deblauwe      https://www.infoq.com/minibooks/spring-boot-api-backend-version2/         https://www.wimdeblauwe.com/books/modern-frontends-with-htmx         https://www.wimdeblauwe.com/books/taming-thymeleaf/      Book by Marián Varga      https://www.dastalvi.com/book/         https://bsky.app/profile/love2integrate.com     Leanpub      https://www.youtube.com/leanpub        https://twitter.com/leanpub       https://mastodon.social/@leanpub       https://www.instagram.com/leanpub       https://bsky.app/profile/leanpub.bsky.social     Lulu      https://www.lulu.com/   Content00:00 Introduction of the topic and guests01:53 Books by Trisha Gee02:24 Trisha's motivation for writing books04:13 Difference between publisher and self-publishing09:53 Publishers are looking for authors and course creators12:55 How long do you work on a book?17:35 Can we expect a new book by Trisha?21:00 Automating the writing process24:50 Len Epp about Leanpub and how it started27:18 On Leanpub, you can publish a book-in-progress27:51 Different publishing processes with Leanpub30:20 You can use LeanPub to generate your book, but you don't need to sell it on Leanpub32:57 80% of the selling price goes to the author40:09 How to market your book45:35 Let an expert handle the payments...50:55 Books by Wim Deblauwe51:45 Wim's motivation for writing books53:15 Earning back the time spent on the writing54:37 How to sell paper books on Lulu57:19 Tools used to write a book58:34 Wim's author-plans for the future59:42 How the books influenced Wim's career01:00:02 Marián Varga about the topic of his book01:03:07 Current status of the book01:04:03 The book is a teamwork with a publisher01:07:06 Organizing the work between multiple authors01:09:17 Time worked on the book01:10:40 Feedback from the community for the content01:12:13 What Marián wants to achieve with the book01:14:38 Conclusion

Everywhere you look these days, all of the discussion is about machine learning and artificial intelligence. If you're graduating with a computer science degree, the assumption is that you only want to work with “cool” developer tools and languages like Python. Well, there is another alternative that is nearly 30 years old and still going strong. I am of course talking about Java and one person who wants to argue the case for considering a career in Java-based programming is Simon Ritter, deputy CTO, Azul. Simon thinks if graduates remove their “AI blinkers” the more entrepreneurial will see huge opportunity to build a long-lasting career. Ronan recently had a chat with Simon. Simon talks about his background, why he thinks IT graduates should consider a degree in Java-based programming, Azul's State of Java Report and more. About Simon Ritter: Simon Ritter is the Deputy CTO of Azul. Simon joined Sun Microsystems in 1996 and spent time working in both Java development and consultancy. He has been presenting Java technologies to developers since 1999, focusing on the core Java platform as well as client and embedded applications. At Azul, he continues to help people understand Java and Azul's JVM products. Simon is a Java Champion and two-time recipient of the JavaOne Rockstar award. In addition, he represents Azul on the JCP Executive Committee, the OpenJDK Vulnerability Group, and the JSR Expert Group since Java SE 9.
