Welcome to the very first issue of Middleware Insight – a newsletter that brings you only the most recent, most important and most interesting news from the middleware industry.
It may be difficult to keep up with the current dynamic world of Java middleware technology – finding out what is really important from the huge amount of information that we are bombarded with every day is difficult and time consuming. That is why, as the independent middleware experts, we have decided that we want to share our experience and expertise with you by selecting only the most important news about the industry, products and what is happening out there, and sending them to you in a form of a bi-monthly newsletter. We are more than happy to share our knowledge and opinions, or to give you some advice and help, either via our blog or personally, if you wish to contacts us directly.
In this issue of Middleware Insight we are giving you an overview of what vendors are up to, what interesting stuff is going on in the open source world, bringing you some of the latest news about Java and reminding you about conferences and other events you may want to attend.
There have been a lot of things happening lately in the middleware world, including various new releases (Apache CXF 2.6.0, JBoss EAP 6 Beta and more), updates ( Oracle patches, Tomcat upgrades ), and reports coming out (TechTarget IT Forecast), so if you want to find out more - read on!
We hope that you will find this newsletter interesting and informative. If you have any questions, feedback or suggestions – please do not hesitate to contact us at info@c2b2.co.uk
Many thanks
