With nonstop breakthroughs in AI and cloud computing, the pace of technological innovation never slows. But our dedication to empowering Java developers to achieve more doesn’t miss a step. That’s why I’m counting down the seconds to this year’s Microsoft JDConf, a two-day, virtual event, running March 27-28 (registration is still open, by the way!) I’m thrilled to be giving the keynote address, during which I’ll highlight the robust synergy between Java programming, AI, the cloud, and the strength of our shared community. RSVP Now at JDConf.com
Loved for its portability and versatility, Java plays an ongoing, pivotal role in our digital world. As Java developers seek to take their apps to the cloud, Azure makes it easier for them to be more productive, letting them leverage familiar tools, frameworks, and open-source tech for seamless cloud deployment and scaling.
A few years ago, we launched our own Microsoft Build of OpenJDK, reinforcing our commitment to the core development of the language and collaborating with the community. We now have over 2.5 million Java developers using Visual Studio Code to bring their applications to life. Java is among the top 5 languages used in GitHub and one of the most popular languages used with Azure OpenAI , where it’s leading the charge in cutting-edge AI development.
We not only utilize Java extensively within our own infrastructure, but we’ve also been actively promoting it within the developers and partners’ community. That includes our strong partnerships with major players in the Java ecosystem, such as IBM, Oracle, Broadcom, and Red Hat, We’ll have Java experts from each company joining us at JDConf with their own exciting developments. We believe this spirt of collaboration fosters a healthier Java ecosystem, benefits developers, and ultimately allows us to offer better Java support within our own products and services.
Java provides a solid foundation for developing AI applications, and we’re proud to offer a diverse range of AI tools and services designed to empower developers and integrate seamlessly with Java environments:
Cloud technology has revolutionized the way applications are deployed, managed, and scaled, and Java has been along for the ride the whole time. Microsoft recognizes the importance of delivering a seamless, end-to-end cloud experience for Java developers through our comprehensive set of tools, services, and platforms, and JDConf will highlight this exciting team-up.
JDConf 2024, the annual Java Developer Conference, is back, spotlighting Java, Cloud, and AI this year. This free virtual event spans two days across the entire globe across Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa, to unite developers around the world to learn, share and celebrate Java together. Our mission is to provide a world-class, engaging event accessible to attendees from every corner of the globe. This year, we’re featuring the transformative impact of emerging technologies and AI on the Java development landscape. With 1 Keynote, 20 Breakout and 18 On-demand sessions summing up over 10 hours of content delivered by leading voices from Microsoft, Broadcom, Red Hat, IBM, Oracle, and community leaders, JDConf offers a unique opportunity for developers to network and learn from top Java influencers.
