Remember mid-2011? What was going on in the world? The first thing you probably thought of: Java 7 was released. The second thing? The premiere issue of Java Magazine appeared.
This month we are celebrating our 10th anniversary with fun graphics (see the top of this newsletter) and with a nostalgic review of 10 of the most important articles from Java Magazine’s early years. Those articles were published only as PDFs and haven’t been available online for a while. As part of this celebration, they have been lovingly retrieved from the archives and converted to HTML for you to enjoy.
From Java 7 to Java 16 and beyond, this technical journal has been a resource by and for the Java community. We can’t wait to see what the next 10 years will bring.
Thank you,
Alan Zeichick
Editor in Chief, Java Magazine

P.S. I was inspired by the concepts presented in “Adding is favoured over subtracting in problem solving,” by Tom Meyvis and Heeyoung Yoon, recently published in Nature. This essay summarizes a longer paper, “People systematically overlook subtractive changes,” by Adams et al. The mental tendencies they describe are incredibly relevant to software engineering. |

Happy anniversary! Celebrating 10 years of Java Magazine.
The official motto of Java Magazine is “By and for the Java community.” On top of that, Alan Zeichick envisions our mission as, “We want your current Java project to be so successful that you will choose Java for your next project.”
10 good reads from the Java Magazine archives
As part of our 10th anniversary retrospective, the editors spent some time locked in the vault searching for articles that are still relevant and important. Here are 10 of the best articles we found in the archives.
