The Connection Server (About)


The Connection Server is an informal blog about a range of professional server-related topics, with a focus on the everyday tasks of a corporate IT infrastructure administrator. Articles range from hard-core technical tips to more business-oriented discussions.
What technologies do I cover? Potentially anything used in the corporate IT world, but to name a few big ones:
  • Java (J2EE, J2SE and J2ME)
  • Oracle WebLogic (previously BEA WebLogic)
  • WebSphere and JBoss
  • Oracle DB
  • Apache and IIS
  • Windows, AIX, Solaris and Red Hat
Although a few articles are aimed at helping beginners become more advanced administrators
or developers, most articles assume at least a medium level of technical knowledge.
