We’ll explore key milestones, including lambdas, records, and more, with code examples, fun historical highlights, and a touch of humour. Whether you're a Java veteran or newcomer, this talk will give you a fresh perspective on Java’s evolution and its future.

To help celebrate Java’s 30th bday, Jim will take us on a nostalgic journey through 30 years of Java, from its 1995 debut to today’s cutting-edge features.
With only 4 weeks to go until JManc Unconference 2025 we’re buzzing to announce that will open the day with a very special keynote from Java Champion, Jim Gough!

The use-case is for generating multiple JSON based config files, all with commonality/duplication but specific environment based differences
Interested in people’s experiences with config languages such as jsonnet, pkl, cue or other?
I'm looking for a new job.
Fully remote since I'm living in the Japanese countryside, but I'm flexible on working hours.

Quote from the book intro..
“Busyness often means just doing so many things at once that they all turn out crappy.”
Yeah, really enjoying it, Oswald is a great character!
I really need to remind myself of this more often…
Allowing too much work-in-progress (WIP) is to the detriment of myself, my team, my org… in fact more or less everything!
I recommend this book in this space:
Making Work Visible by Dominica Degrandis

Does anyone have any advice on how I might further spread the word of my new Sonic Pi course?
Marketing isn’t something I have much knowledge or experience of so I’d really appreciate some advice.

Without knowing the details, with his experience in this space he could be interested in being a part of JBake’s successor
This sounds interesting, I know the creator of JBake pretty well as he helps to organise the Manchester JUG with me. I don’t think he’s on here yet but in the spirit of OSS I’m going to speak to him to understand the challenges with JBake in more detail
One of my favourite blogs I’ve written over the years captured the strength of the Java community on Twitter, it feels like BlueSky is going to provide the same which is awesome 🙂

This starter pack is growing quite nicely 😀
I'm aware we have more and more Java people joining every day so please let me know of any one that should be included
There is also a Java Champion starter pack go.bsky.app/CfRBzuP
A starter pack which you are now a part of 🙂👍
Apparently there's another wave of people joining currently, so reposting this thread of starter packs for tech folks 👇
Sounds good, it would be nice if there was an easy way to do this
Thanks, added those that were missing as well as yourself 🙂👍
I created a Java one to add to the list if you like 🙂
go.bsky.app/F7m9rBy
Agreed, very useful 🙂
