Joshua Bloch Leaves Sun, Joins Google

Saturday, July 10th, 2004

From TheServerSide.com:

Joshua Bloch, author of Effective Java, JSR 175 spec lead, and much more, has decided to hang up his hat at Sun.

Just after his promotion to Distinguished Engineer, he moves down the road in the Valley to join the small startup Google.

He will still be involved in the Java community of course. There is talk of an Effective Java upgrade for Java 1.5.

Bloch’s book Effective Java Programming Language Guide is most excellent. I strongly recommnend it to everybody who’s doing any kind of Java development.
