Excellent Show!
I’ve been working in Java since early 1996 and I’ve been an industry analyst writing about Rich Internet Application technologies since 2005. I thought I knew the history of the Java applet and is demise better than anyone, but I learned some new things from Ted which was great. Btw – I sometimes work with Ted on the No Fluff, Just Stuff symposium. He never fails to impress.
Anyway, keep up the great work. I really enjoy the show. It’s excellent!
