Party like it's 2002

Anyone who thinks that I'm a notorious Java hater might be interested in this whitepaper. I wrote it back in 2002 and released it to the public in response to Microsoft's globally loathed .NET PetShop whitepaper. For what it's worth, I didn't simply spew up an unpolished blog. Back then I took the time to write a full example application and an 18 page document detailing how Java was "better" than .NET 1.0

Sun even hired me to speak on the topic at their (now defunct?) Sun Developer Days in various cities.

I'm just calling a spade a spade -- in both cases.
