Java has a large community, and some contributors become influential far beyond one company or project. The Java Champions program recognizes people who make sustained contributions to the Java ecosystem. They may write books, maintain open-source projects, teach, speak at conferences, organize communities, or help improve the platform itself. What I like about this idea is that technical communities are built by more than language designers. Read more

Computer science classes can become difficult for a simple reason: the subject often moves from concrete to abstract very quickly. A student sees code on the screen, then suddenly hears about memory models, graph complexity, process scheduling, or mathematical proofs. It is easy to lose the thread. The first thing I recommend is active participation. Do not only copy what is on the board. Read more
