If anyone has been listening since our very first Podcast, we covered flex way back in February with our own Peter Paugh. But when we had an opportunity to talk to James Ward of Adobe, a Flex evangelist and someone passionate about Flex as well as Java development, we jumped at the chance.
James Ward's blog and useful information is located at www.jamesward.com. The Flex Show episode 50 is also a good listen... |

This week we feature an interview with Toby DiPasquale of Invite Media. Toby and I discuss the Map-Reduce algorithm, which is the engine that powers Google's indexing and data processing systems. We start off by discussing how Google started indexing pages, using traditional methods such as C/C++ routines. Quickly this became unmanageable, as the amount of data to index outstripped the processing power and traditional data transformation paradigms. |

This week I'm starting an occasional series of interviews on non-Java or non-traditional platform development. I am looking for reasons that people choose Ruby on Rails, Python, and other languages in lieu of Java EE or .NET, especially in startup organizations. This interview features Chris Cera, the CTO of Vuzit (http://www.vuzit.com), which is a document web services startup funded by DreamIt Ventures (http://www.dreamitventures.com), a Philadelphia-area seed funding program. We talk about his experiences with various dynamic languages, including Perl and Ruby, and why he feels Rails is a great development platform for his company. At the end of the interview Chris and I get into a discussion about what makes a good programmer / developer. Thanks for listening. Feedback can be directed to me at krimple@chariotsolutions.com.
