Further Details:
Until very recently, when he moved - in July 2004 - to Google, Inc., Joshua Bloch was a senior staff engineer at Sun Microsystems, Inc. Bloch, an architect in the Core Java Platform Group, and very closely identified with the developer-focused "Tiger" project that spawned J2SE 1.5, known now as "Java 5."
The author of numerous articles and papers, Josh Bloch has also written a book, Effective Java Programming Language Guide, that was Runner Up in the "Best Book" category of the JDJ Readers' Choice Awards in 2000.
If James Gosling is the father of Java, then Josh Bloch nurtured Java like a mother.
