Hello Jorg, |
63 |
|
64 |
Good to know your point of view. I'm starting fresh with java 11 and |
65 |
have the deepest desire to leave legacy_java (java-10 and older) behind. |
66 |
I think my goal is more aligned with the Oracle future vision for java. |
67 |
I like the non-Oracle support model. Please do send me information, |
68 |
including forums and postings and blogs, as your work continues. |
69 |
My keenest interests are in Scada Systems and graphical automation |
70 |
representations and IoT and traditional equipment systems and control |
71 |
panels for UAVs. |
72 |
|
73 |
|
74 |
tia, |
75 |
