Java the right way
Java is a 15 years old language. And 95% of java projects still have bad productivity and many, many, many architectural pitfalls. Too much academic, too much frameworks, too much options, whatever the reasons are, it is demonstrated quite every day.
Some people help us see the light. Of course some of my beloved Java architects here 
.But in the outside world we can see good design and good execution. Want to be convinced that Java can be done the right way, helping fast features implementation and high scalability at the right cost? A few examples:
- Jive Forums & Clearspace from Jive Software. These guys know their stuff.
- Jira & Confluence from Atlassian
- Alfresco from…well, Alfresco
- Nuxeo 5 from..well, Nuxeo.
And there is one big, big, big site relying on Java: LinkedIn. Maybe the fact a French designed the beast helped a lot (ok, for soccer it is over for us guys, let us dream that we are software designing the right way ). Have a look at their presentations.
No Hibernate, Agile methodology and scalability in mind. Great stuff.
BTW: I’ve connected yesterday to Linkedin, it was down for a few minutes. You can’t have 100% availability. Except of course in PHP….. Just kidding :-p.

I was about to write on similar lines. After having worked on java for 9 years , I have seen it evolve, specially J2EE and I agree that it has been overly complex and convoluted at times. Writing software cant be as complex.
Thanks for slide, I will reuse it on my post.
