'Java 4-Ever' Expertly Skewers Movie Trailers and Microsoft

by Terrence O'Brien on June 26, 2010 at 11:00 AM

Java 4 Ever
Chances are you've never heard of JavaZone. And nobody is going to blame you for being unfamiliar with "Scandinavia's biggest meeting place for software developers." But we guarantee you that after watching the video below you'll never forget it. As part of its marketing campaign, and anti-Microsoft agenda, the conference put together a trailer for a fictional film called 'Java 4-Ever.' The three-minute and 17-second teaser nails every Oscar-seeking movie trailer trope perfectly while expertly (and geekily) prodding Microsoft's .net development framework. The highlight comes at about a minute and 20-seconds in -- you'll know it when you hear it. Video after the break. [From: JavaZone]
