So I was quite pleased with the announcement that IBM would not be buying Sun Microsystems.  I deep down want them to stay as an independent company, but understand that times are tough.  I have found that they have an amazing product lineup that includes some great innovative technology.  I am currently working on my SCSA and SCNA as well as other smaller Sun certifications.  So far I have covered many of the offerings they have on their web training portal.  I have also begun working with the Java CAPS application framework.  This is a pretty slick system them can pull together all the different information sources inside a company allowing for the reuse of old code to build new applications allowing for a smooth migration path.
Java CAPS uses several Sun offerings to interconnect between databases and other systems.  It can then take this and allow new Java programs to integrate and offer new ways of working with old data.  I’m currently working on a project that will use this system to interconnect several kinds of old databases and allow for a new way to process information across these sources and then serve up the information in a modern way; over the web, through email, or even over mobile connections.  I will talk more on this as I proceed and will probably have several articles written up on my main page as well for others to reference.
