developerWorks provides a valuable resource to millions every day

“[developerWorks] is now one of the richest goldmines of developer education, support and innovation available, and I believe it has always represented and supported the mainstream of enterprise IT in a non-partisan and generous way. I've used it to develop my Java, WebSphere, Lotus, DB2, Rational, Eclipse, scripting, XML, SOA and architectural skills, as well as my toolbox in all those areas… developerWorks has been my key professional resource and partnership from its commencement, and I owe it big time.”

- Russell Searle, Psicom, Australia
