  • Episode 3: MiniPLoP at OOPSLA

    Guests: Linda Rising, Joe Yoder, and Bob Hanmer

    Host: Daniel Steinberg

    When the seminal book Design Patterns made its public debut

    at ooPSLA 1994, the world of
    software developers changed forever. Soon everyone wanted
    to learn patterns and, even better, write patterns -- to
    document their knowledge of what software to build, and how.

    That same year, a new sort of conference debuted as well,

    Pattern Languages of Programs, and in 2007, PLoP continues
    to provide an opportunity for pattern writers to improve
    their work and form communities with other software
    developers.

    The patterns community has always had a close relationship

    with ooPSLA, culminating in the
    co-location of PLoP 2006 with ooPSLA
    in Portland. This year PLoP returns to Allerton Park, but
    ooPSLA again offers folks a touch
    of PLoP in the form of two workshops, a Pattern Writing
    Bootcamp and a Writers Workshops for Papers in Software
    Development.

    Listen to this podcast to hear Daniel Steinberg of

    DimSumThinking chat with workshop organizers Linda Rising,
    Bob Hanmer, and Joe Yoder about patterns, pattern writing,
    and the excitement of Mini-PLoP at
    ooPSLA.

  • Episode 2: The Scala Experience

    Guest: Martin Odersky

    Host: Markus Völter

    Many programmers know that there are paths to increased

    productivity that are orthogonal to objects. Language
    designer Martin Odersky is in the vanguard that studies
    how to augment OOP with techniques from the world of
    functional programming. His most recent work is on
    Scala,
    a programming language that "tries to achieve a fusion
    of object-oriented and functional programming, while
    remaining compatible with mainstream platforms such as
    Java and .NET.

    At ooPSLA, Martin is offering

    a tutorial with colleagues Ted Neward and Gilles Dubochet
    titled The Scala Experience: Programming with
    Functional Objects. This tutorial will give an
    introduction to Scala, highlighting its main innovative
    features: closures, pattern matching, type abstraction,
    and mixins.

    In this podcast, Martin joins Markus Völter of SE

    Radio to talk about what it's like to program in Scala.

  • Episode 1: No Silver Bullet

    Guests: Dennis Mancl, Steven Fraser, and Bill Opdyke

    Host: Markus Völter

    Objects were not the silver bullet to solve all of our

    problems building software. Why not? Are there are silver
    bullets on the horizon? ooPSLA
    regulars Dennis Mancl, Steven Fraser, and Bill Opdyke have
    been thinking about these and many related questions for a
    number of years. They have also been working in industry to
    come up with better answers. At ooPSLA
    2007, Dennis, Steven, and Bill are leading a workshop titled
    No Silver Bullet: A Retrospective on the Essence and
    Accidents of Software Engineering.

    In this podcast, they join Markus Völter of SE Radio

    to discuss silver bullets and software development.
