Oracle Magazine awarded Holmes the prestigious Java Developer of the Year in November 2002 for his work with the Struts Framework & Jdeveloper. Holmes was among 17 other developers worldwide in their StarSelect campaign for OracleWorld 2003 (he was recently in San Francisco to be filmed for the event)where he spoke on Java development. James is a committer on the Struts project, meaning he is one of a small number of people that direct the development and future of Struts. James is also the creator of the most popular Struts tool: the Struts Console. James first book project was as co-author of The Art of Java with Herb Schildt.
