Feature interview
Ben Evans has lived in "Interesting Times" in technology - he was the
lead performance testing engineer for the Google IPO, worked on the
initial UK trials of 3G networks with BT, built award-winning websites
for some of Hollywood's biggest hits of the 90s, rearchitected and
reimagined technology helping some of the most vulnerable people in the
UK and has worked on everything from some of the UKs very first
ecommerce sites, through to multi-billion dollar currency trading
systems. He helps to run the London Java Community, and represents the
JUG on the Java SE/EE Executive Committee. His first book "The
Well-Grounded Java Developer" (with Martijn Verburg) has just been
published by Manning.
Martijn Verburg (aka 'the Diabolical Developer') herds Cats in the
Java/open source communities and is constantly humbled by the creative
power to be found there. Currently he resides in London where he
co-leads the London JUG (a JCP EC member), runs a couple of open source
projects & drinks too much beer at his local pub. You can find him
online moderating at the Javaranch or discussing (ranting?) subjects on
the Prgorammers Stack Exchange site. Most recently he's become a regular
speaker at conferences on Java, open source and software development
and has recently wrapped up his first Manning title - "The Well-Grounded
Java Developer" with his co-author Ben Evans.
Yara Senger is the partner and director of teacher education and
Globalcode, graduated from the University of Sao Paulo, Sao Carlos, has
significant experience in Brazil and abroad in developing solutions to
critical Java. She is the co-creator of Java programs Academy and
Academy of Web Developer, accumulating over 1000 hours in the classroom
teaching Java. She currently serves as the President of Sou Java.
In this interview Ben, Martijn, and Yara talk about the JCP Executive Committee Elections, JSR 348, and the Adopt-a-JSR program.
