Montvale, NJ, June 28, 2001 - SYS-CON Media (www.sys-con.com) announced today the expansion of its world-class i-technology magazine offerings with two new journals. WebSphere Developer's Journal (www.sys-con.com/websphere/) preview will ship with Java Developer's Journal's July issue and premier in January 2002. BEA WebLogic Developer's Journal (www.sys-con.com/weblogic/) will preview with JDJ's August issue and premier in January 2002. Both previews accompanying Java Developer's Journal will also be available on newsstands worldwide.

“The unique practical, how-to editorial content these journals offer surpasses the information available for developers anywhere on the Internet, on white papers, or user manuals,” said Fuat Kircaali, publisher and CEO of SYS-CON Media. “Both WebSphere Developer's Journal and BEA WebLogic Developer's Journal will be published monthly, 12 issues per year and will offer unmatched, fresh, technical knowledge and insight for developers who use these leading i-technology tools in their mission-critical, enterprise applications.”

“We couple our highly focused print offerings with practical, hands-on training options at our specially designed “fast tracks” at JDJEdge 2001 International Java Developer Conference & Expo,” said Cathy Walters, vice president of SYS-CON Events. “WebSphere fast-track training (www.sys-con.com/edges/websphere/) and WebLogic fast-track training (www.sys-con.com/edges/weblogic/index.cfm) opportunities have been made available for the first time as part of an international Java and Web Services developer conference.”

Earlier this month, SYS-CON shipped the preview issue of another new title, the highly anticipated Web Services Journal to 250,000 readers. Web Services Journal preview is currently on newsstands worldwide and its premier issue will be unveiled at the “Web Services Edge 2001 International Web Services Conference & Expo/East” on September 23, 2001. More information on charter subscription savings for all three new journals, and attending the conference fast-tracks, can be obtained from the SYS-CON Media Web site at www.sys-con.com.
