In 1995, a small team of engineers unveiled a new programming language designed for flexibility, portability, and robustness. That language was Java. And three decades later, it remains one of the most influential technologies in the software world. Thank you for helping us celebrate #30YearsOfJava this past year. We look forward to many, many more years of pushing the boundaries of innovation and the pursuit of developer excellence. โค๏ธ

The heart of DevoxxUK isn't just the tech, it's the people. ๐Ÿงก Huge shoutout to our 2026 volunteer crew! You dealt with the long hours, the many questions & the occasional AV gremlin with a smile on your faces. You made @TheBDC feel like home for hundreds of developers.
