Designed by the London Java Community and organised and sponsored by Sonatype and Microsoft this fun event will test your knowledge of all aspects of Java: people, technology, history, geography etc.

Inspired by the Jeopardy! TV quiz game we’ll test our participants with clues from various categories including

“Cryptic Keywords”. - cryptic clues that match Java language reserved words

“Java through the ages” - History of Java of course

“Deprecated” - rarely used features

“Billys cup of Joe” - clues about real Java tech from our very own Billy Korando

And many many more.

Come be a part of this awesome event and witness the encyclopaedic knowledge (or lack ) of your favourite Java celebs as the try to answer clues like

“In Java 15 we said goodbye to this German rhinoceros”

“the name for the Java codebase prior to Hotspot”

“This database engine sounds like an HTML tag”

“-1 % 2 == 1”

With Edson Yanaga from Redhat as the game host this event will teach you things about Java you never knew.
