Once you have installed the new, awesome GlassFish V2 application server, you can download Phobos with just a few mouse clicks, using the included updatetool.
Making your point on standards matters: The MIDP3 Expert Group (JSR-271) is meeting this week, and if you have something on your mind that you want the EG to take notice of, now would be a good time to act. Feel strongly about something? Try the personal approach. Posted by sean_sheedy at (13:25 PST) | Permalink | Discuss (0)

Silicon Valley CodeCamp on October 27-28: So, you might be wondering, what is a code camp, and what does it cost? Well, it's completely free and completely staffed by volunteers. It's a place you can share your passion for technology with others like yourself, it's a place you can give a presentation on your favorite topic to a receptive audience, as well as go to sessions by others who want to share the knowledge. Typically, there are sessions on all kinds of technologies like Java, Ruby, Python, JavaScript, Microsoft's latest stuff, and even more programming technologies. It's basically formatted like a 1 day JavaOne style event where sessions are pre-arranged and you just choose what interests you. Session submissions are closed a week before the event so you know what you'll be in for ahead of time and you can plan. Posted by van_riper at (22:57 PST) | Permalink | Discuss (0)
