.NET eye for the Java guy

I recently had the pleasure of catching up with my old friend, Ted Neward. As anyone who has ever had the occasion of inquiring into Ted’s opinions knows, Mr. Neward is a veritable fire hose of technical knowledge intermixed with random thoughts, name dropping, and rants, all of which makes a conversation with Ted unpredictable, and yet, a lot of fun. In this podcast hosted by IBM developerWorks, Ted answers a host of questions regarding Microsoft’s .NET platform in an effort to educate the Java community on what it might learn to do and not do. Plus, Ted touches on the OpenJDK project, Apple, Jython, Vista, cloud computing, and much much (much!) more. Have a listen and don’t forget to check out Ted’s blog and see what he’s up to on Twitter.
