Java moves our world. Java helps you stay safe, connected with your friends and family, and grow every day. It powers apps on your phone, enterprise cloud systems, and even the latest frontiers like Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain.
As we celebrate 30 years of Java in 2025, let’s pass the baton to the next generation. Java community leaders (through JUGs) are uniquely positioned to inspire students and junior developers worldwide.
🌍 This effort is global, JUG-led, and supported by the JCP program.
💡 Our world. Moved by Java!
Join us to grow your local community and keep Java alive for future innovators.
