Sun Microsystems Philippines kicks off its third Java in Manila
programmers� conference on April 25, 2006 with one goal in mind:
expand the country�s Java developer base by raising considerable
awareness about the versatility and uses of the object-oriented

application development tool of many enterprises today.
Sun is bringing in consultants and leading experts from the U.S.
and Asia to the one-day conference at the Rizal Ballroom of the
Makati Shangri-La Hotel with the aim of helping build the
expertise of the Java developer base in the country. "We are
holding this conference with the view of sharing Sun�s vast
store of knowledge, garnered through nearly 10 years of Java
development, said Cynthia Mamon, Sun Microsystems Philippines (SunPhil)
President and Managing Director.
Java has come a long way since it was first released in 1995.
Today, Java runs on some 650 million PCs, and powers 750 million
Java cards. Sun estimates that the value of the global Java
technology economy at 100 billion in sales and another 0 billion
in related IT spending. "We want local developers to be able to
share knowledge on Java as well, thereby enriching the current
store of expertise in best practice," explains Mamon.
