Bill Joy, Chief Technology Officer at Sun and one of the original authors of
the Berkeley Standard Distribution UNIX, has described the Java programming
language as "C ++ ++ -=". Java starts with C++, adds a few things and takes
away large chunks, and ends up with a lean object-oriented language well
suited for portable application development. It started with Sun's attempt
to develop embedded programs for set-top controllers but is now thought of
primarily in connection with the HotJava Web browser.

At the UUASC September meeting, we present a video introduction to Java and
HotJava produced by Sun. There will also be ample time for discussion of
the merits of this new language, and comparison to other object-oriented
languages like SmallTalk as described at our August meeting.

The UUASC is for all persons using UNIX either personally or professionally,
or interested in learning more about UNIX. We recognize all varieties of
UNIX, including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, and OSF.
This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden your
skills and knowledge. Generally, meetings include a technical presentation
on a hardware or software topic of current interest to the UNIX community
and a round-table discussion of current topics of interest to the group.

Please join us this month and bring along your friends or co-workers. Also,
please forward this announcement to others who may be interested and feel
free to post it on BBSs, both electronic and physical. If you receive more
than one announcement by email, please let us know so we can keep our lists
current. Thanks for listening.
