Josh Juneau has been developing software and database systems for several years. Database application development and sophisticated web apps have been the focus of his career since the beginning. Early in his career, he became an Oracle database administrator and adopted the PL/SQL language for performing administrative tasks and developing applications for Oracle database. In an effort to build more complex solutions, he began to incorporate Java into his PL/SQL applications and later developed stand-alone and web applications with Java. Josh wrote his early Java web applications utilizing JDBC to work with back-end databases. Later, he incorporated frameworks into his enterprise solutions, including Java EE, Spring, and JBoss Seam. Today, he primarily develops enterprise web solutions utilizing Java EE.
Josh extended his knowledge of the JVM by developing applications with other JVM languages such as Jython and Groovy. In 2006, Josh became the editor and publisher for the
Jython Monthly newsletter. In late 2008, he began a podcast dedicated to the Jython programming language. Josh was the lead author for
The Definitive Guide to Jython,
Oracle PL/SQL Recipes, and
Java 7 Recipes, which were published by Apress. Since then, he has continued to author Java-related books for Apress, including his most recent work entitled
Java 9 Recipes. He is an avid contributor to Oracle’s Java Magazine, and he speaks at Java User Groups and conferences when has the opportunity.
Josh works as an application developer and systems analyst, and he is a contributor to the Chicago Java User Group. He is an Apache NetBeans committer, and a Java Champion. He participates in the JCP and had been a part of the JSF expert group for the development of Java EE 8. Josh has a wonderful wife and five children with whom he loves to spend time.
