 Since its inception, the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology has been a bit of an enigma. While almost all other Java/J2EE (now Java EE) technologies seem to be quite important, somehow knowing how to work with EJB has always been something to be proud about.

The .Net Compact Framework and Java ME top the list of platforms being

 At JavaOne this year I spent a lot of time following the scripting and dynamic languages space. The speakers for all these 'other' languages insisted that we had entered an age where developers would use multiple languages.
