Introducing the Google Developer Podcast
Posted by
Dion Almaer, Google Developer ProgramsA fair few Googlers
enjoy creating podcasts, and a large number choose to participate in the medium as
listeners.
I have really enjoyed creating Audible Ajax, as it gives me
a way to get close to the community. Not only do I get to meet great people and technologists
as I interview them for the show, but the listeners also let me know what they like and want
to hear back from me.
The better I've gotten to know Google developers
and programmers in the community, the more I've wanted to highlight and share
their
contributions.
Dick Wall and Carl Quinn are two Googlers that are part
of the
Java Posse podcast, and we were excited
to team up and start communicating. The end result is a new podcast called the Google
Developer Podcast.
What will we cover on the Google Developer
podcast?
- Interviews with Google engineers, discussing areas of
their expertise
- New features, applications, and APIs that matter to
developers
- Open source projects that we work on and/or care about at
Google
- Projects that use our APIs and applications in interesting
ways
- News and events that we all care about, including the Google Summer
of Code.
An interview with Bob Lee, Google Guice
developerAs we were brainstorming our first podcast Google
Guice was released. Guice is an open source, lightweight, dependency injection framework with
an emphasis on tight Java 5 integration and high performance. It has already been put through
its paces in production at Google for awhile and it was a great effort on the behalf of the
Guice team to share it with the community as a whole.
The Java
community noticed. A spark has ignited around the project and the ideas that it
represents.
To learn more we contacted Bob Lee and had a conversation
about the philosophy behind Guice and how it all works.
We hope you
enjoy it.
As with all new endeavors, we are looking to the community to
help define it. What can you do?
