Sustaining and Growing an Active Community in a Mature Platform
Java is no longer the new kid on the block. However, one of its great strengths is the quality of the community it has built up over the last 25 years?
How can we help that community continue to grow, thrive, and attract new members - especially from younger developers who have recently joined the profession?
Join our panel of experienced educators and community leaders as we celebrate the strength of our community and look forward to the next 25 years of Java.
