“Rick Ross, founder of Javalobby, talks about our recent trip to the Microsoft campus in Redmond Washington for the Technology Summit 2005. This gathering of developers from a variety of platforms yielded some interesting insights from all parties. Listen on for Rick’s overview and thoughts on the summit.
From Rick: “I am encouraging mutual respect and a dialogue to keep the possibility for progress alive. Frozen hatred is not in the best interests of the Java developer community.”
“I want it to be explicitly clear that I am NOT advocating any Java developer to abandon Java. I am only saying that we should consider, as a community, treating our peer developers in the Microsoft world and elsewhere with more respect and open-mindedness.”
Nothing to add. You said everything Rick !!!
