Today
DZone.com has roots in Javalobby, an online community for Java developers founded in 1997 by CEO Rick Ross. Javalobby preceded the era of blogs and forums to create a unique community that made all developers a part of the discussion and changed the face of technology development.
In 2005, Javalobby evolved into DZone.com in order to expand coverage far beyond the boundaries of the Java community. We continue our mission of giving developers a voice through our community, in addition to the ongoing goal of providing them with useful and valuable resources at no cost.
Today, we have over 2 million members, thousands of resources, and a constant stream of new content published every day. DZone continues to grow and evolve to better serve our audience of dedicated tech professionals.
