Let me share a personal story. I started experimenting with Java on a Raspberry Pi about five years ago and blogged a few articles about it. But the more I experimented, the more I wrote down, and eventually, I had written a book… I worked on it for six months in a row, every evening and a lot of weekends. But the moment I received the box with my author copies was an incredible feeling. Holding a paper book with your name is a special moment.Fast forward to now. The 1000

Last month, I published a Foojay blog post about the risks in systems that are stuck on old or outdated Java versions and got a lot of feedback from developers.
