From innovations in enterprise big data, cloud, social, mobile and the Internet of things, to connected cars, smartphones and video games, Java continues to help developers push the boundaries in technology innovation. "Java has grown and evolved to become one of the most important and dependable technologies in our industry today. Those who have chosen Java have been rewarded many times over with increases in performance, scalability, reliability, compatibility and functionality," said Georges Saab, vice president of development, Java Platform Group at Oracle.
