Keep on Codin'

The Java Road Trip is in full swing (not AWT) throughout the United States, and if you can meet up with it, make sure you do! What's really cool, though, is Java Engineers continuing to create great technologies and tools for developers to use. A tip of Duke's pointy head to the GlassFish, NetBeans, Java Web services teams, and all the other teams and individuals who just keep on codin'.
