While at JavaOne, I sat down with Eric Klein and David Bryant of the This Ain’t Your Dad’s Java podcast. Eric is VP of Java Marketing at Sun, and David is Sr. Director of Java Marketing at Sun, so we talked about what brought them to doing a quasi-unofficial podcast, the nature of Sun and its warm relationship to the outside development community (with an interesting comparison to Apple), and how multiple languages on the JVM impacts Sun’s Java message. It was an extremely interesting conversation, and both Eric and David were more forthcoming and engaging than their corporate titles might make you expect.
