If you are a Java Developer like me, you would know who James Gosling is. He is the father of Java Programming language – the person who created an object oriented high level language for computers called JAVA in 1994. James Gosling created the original design of Java and implemented the original compiler and virtual machine himself. Today, I make my living developing software using the language he developed.
Sun Microsystems, the company where James Gosling had been working since 1984 and where Java was developed, was acquired by Oracle in 2009. Gosling was the chief technology officer for Oracle’s client software group and, before that, the chief technology officer of Sun’s developer products group.
But for some reason, James Gosling resigned from Oracle today.
The following is what Gosling wrote in his blog (nighthacks.com/roller/jag/) about his living oracle.
Time to move on…
Friday April 9, 2010Yes, indeed, the rumors are true: I resigned from Oracle a week ago (April 2nd). I apologize to everyone in St Petersburg who came to TechDays on Thursday expecting to hear from me. I really hated not being there. As to why I left, it’s difficult to answer: Just about anything I could say that would be accurate and honest would do more harm than good. The hardest part is no longer being with all the great people I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years. I don’t know what I’m going to do next, other than take some time off before I start job hunting.
This is the new home of my blog. It contains all of my old blog entries from Sun: Sun’s blogging policy gave bloggers rights to their own works. The few more recent blog entries that I did at blogs.sun.com were written under somewhat more strict policies
