Mobile Platforms – Interview with Roy Rosin and Rick Rasansky

|

I am a little behind on editing a backlog of videos. As I continue to learn how to edit and not become frustrated with iMovie (why is it Apple can create so many great, intuitive products, yet this one is difficult to use! That will be another blog post for another time!) This interview took place a few weeks ago, but it seems to be more relevant now with the release of Windows Mobile. I sat down with Rick Rasansky…

Some of those talks and presentations will be the beginnings for seminars we will host for the public. I thought I would take advantage…

Why You Need NoSql in Your Toolbox

|

Even if you work for Oracle, you still need NoSql databases in your toolbox. One size does not fit all for programming languages, operating systems, IDEs, shoes, bailouts, or anything else. But for a long time now, many developers have been told that relational databases are really the only choice for persistence.

Where is Java Headed?

|

Welcome to 2010! As a way to start the new year, Joel Confino, one of our architects and future blog contributor, sat down for an interview to discuss his opinions on Java’s future course. As you will hear in this interview, there are more options as Java is maturing. We will be exploring some of these alternatives through 2010 on our blog, on our podcasts (Chariot Techcasts), and at our events, especially ETE 2010 (www.phillyemergingtech.com).

Groovy and Grails seminar – G2 and Springsource Tool Suite

|

Here is another interview from our Groovy and Grails seminar. Brent Baxter had been conducting some research into G2 and the Springsource Tool Suite (STS). I asked Brent how they worked together and if this was advantageous to a developer. As you can see here, we certainly try to gather reflections from our attendees when we have them “captive” at a seminar or conference. People are beginning to run in the other direction when they see me with the Chariot…

What is the story with Groovy and Grails?

|

In today’s blog post, we have a video taken at our Groovy/Grails seminar. If we were surprised at how much enthusiasm the attendees had, there needed to be some sort of explanation of why there is such a devoted following.
