In pursuit of perfection: "Java is like any development platform/language combination—most developers have a love-hate relationship with it. Sure, for Java aficionados it's better than using .Net, LAMP, or (add your own particular poison here), but we bemoan the complexity of Swing, the bulkiness of the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification, performance, additional overheads imposed on skimpy hardware by the Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) platform, the 101 different ways to do things, and on and on. If we could just address Java's weak points, we might make Java that mythical beast—the perfect technology platform...So then, what are those changes? Is there such a thing as the perfect technology platform, and does Java have the potential to become it?"

What's New and What's Not?: "It's rare enough to have a single unbiased, objective non-vendor-sponsored, statistically valid snapshot of what is really happening in the business intelligence (BI) industry.

In other words, this series lets us examine what hasn't changed as well as the direction of the things that are changing."
