On a New Road

Speaking at PayPalTuesday May 18, 2010
I spent the morning speaking at an internal conference of PayPal's engineering organization. They had invited me to give a talk on how to do innovation. I don't know if I said anything useful in between the cynical rants :-) but I had a good time. They've got a great crew of engineers putting together a new generation of APIs for doing commerce. I had used their old APIs in previous projects, but when the current round of work on store.java.com got started in Sun we started using the new "adaptive" APIs. Lovely!

Hey, there are other innovative companies in this area (I still own a chunk of one, and it uses Java)! Rgds Damon

Many many happy returns of the day James. and tomorrow will be Java's 15th birthday. Java has grown and matured, but still it needs guidance and direction from its father.
