Azul Focuses on JUGS to Evangelize the Benefits of Java

SUNNYVALE, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - April 7, 2016) - Azul Systems (Azul), the award-winning leader in Java runtime solutions, will be engaging technical audiences and providing insight into the evolution of Java and advances in Java Virtual Machine (JVM) technology at Java User Group (JUG) Meetups across the US next week. Simon Ritter, Deputy CTO, and Matt Schuetze, Director of Product Management, will be on-the-road to educate audiences on their visions of Java and related technologies.

Simon and Matt present regularly to developers and Java enthusiasts across the world, both being well respected in their fields. Having moved to Oracle as part of the Sun acquisition, Simon's previous focus was on developer outreach for the core Java platform, Java for client applications and embedded Java. Now, at Azul, he is helping people to understand Azul's JVM technologies and products.

Matt is responsible for managing requirements and charting product roadmaps for Zing® and Zulu®, Azul's two Java runtime product families.
