(Via Java News Brief (JNB) mailing list.)

Java News Brief Editor: For twelve years, the Java News Brief has served as a successful tool for promoting Java and educating the software development community.

Beginning in January, the JNB has a new name! The new "Software Engineering Tech Trends" will continue to cover Java and related technologies but will also address the broader spectrum of relevant technologies available today, including JavaScript, Ruby, Groovy, Python, Scala, Objective-C, Clojure, and .Net Rich Internet Application (RIA).

I feel that this expansion of scope reflect a trend that's already happening in the industry:

• For quite some time now, some of the best Java programmers I know have experimented, advocated, and used non-Java technologies to engineer and deliver software systems and solutions.
• The popularity of the non-denominational Lambda Lounge in St. Louis in the past two years shows that there is a thirst among software engineers for knowledge and information beyond Java.

The newly renamed Software Engineering Tech Trends is published on the first day of every month. You can subscribe to the SETT mailing list by sending an email to sett-join@ociweb.com.

The first issue of SETT is already out. In it Mario Aquino talks about Learning Programming Languages with Koans.
