I wonder what the computing world would look like today if Sun Microsystems had survived the dot.com bubble burst. Instead of wondering, lets talk about what they accomplished in 27 years and set a course for what they hoped would be a place to learn, a place to shop, a place to converse with friends and a place to make new ones. How much did we benefit from the dreams and aspirations of 18,000 people who worked for Sun Microsystems. Sorry no Ai artwork for this one, wanted to keep it looking like the other history videos There is an interesting side video made by Steven Evans for the 2019 Burning Man, it encapsulates 27 years of Sun on a home made LED panel and you can find the link for that video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20JwE1854a4 Chapters 00:00 - Intro 00:42 - Proto-Sun 01:36 - Founders 04:07 - Public Offerring 04:20 - Pizza Box 05:21 - JAVA 09:35 - Microsoft J++ 10:39 - dot.com Era 16:46 - Sun aquires mySQL 17:15 - Oracle 18:01 - Suns Contributions to Cloud, Networks, UNIX...etc. 22:09 - Sun One 25:21 - Thank you to my Sponsors! 25:31 - Outro Gear I used to make these videos Hardware Mac Mini M1 - https://amzn.to/3NDQj9F Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme (Daily Driver Linux) - https://amzn.to/3PkSYpK AMD Rysen Machine (Currently Unplugged) Khadas VIM 3 - https://amzn.to/3NjJmt3 NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano - https://amzn.to/3NcLpyZ Odroid N2+ Raspberry Pi 4 Intel Nuc 10 - https://amzn.to/46e6l15 Intel Nuc 12 - https://amzn.to/3NCYxPj Network Aruba Instant On 1930 24-Port Gb Ethernet - https://amzn.to/46e6l15 Video Equipment Panasonic GH6 Camera - https://amzn.to/3PoUKX1 Panasonic GH4 Camera Blackmagic Design ATEM Extreme Pro ISO - https://amzn.to/3Pkma08 Blackmagic Design Hyperdeck Studio HD Mini - https://amzn.to/42JY5mt Blackmagic Design Hyperdeck Shuttle - https://amzn.to/42Tdzoi Blackmagic Design Cloud Pod - https://amzn.to/3qW14va Audio Equipment Shure SM7b - https://amzn.to/3qQ7Qm7 Universal Volt 276 - https://amzn.to/3Nfe9He Software Rogue Amoeba Audio Hijack 3 Rogue Ameoba Loopback Blackmagic Design Davinci Studio 18 - https://amzn.to/43ZjPMm Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DJWare Follow me: Twitter @djware55 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/don.ware.7758 Gitlab: https://gitlab.com/djware27 #SunMicrosystems #Sun #Java #Cloud
