The last podcast “Java Posse #351 - Roundup '11 - The Future of Software” is the best podcast so far: diverse, interesting and challenging content. It shows that our field has more to offer than the eternal fights over programmings languages, platforms, latest buzz words and software patents. These are a part of our trade, but it should not be confound with it as a whole.
A lot of interesting stuff is going on in computer science and in the application area. I think, it could improve the podcast by injecting some of this content from time to time. Some of the areas mentioned were: neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, human computer interaction, optimizing compilers and quantum computing. This stuff is fascinating and hard to keep up with. It could ignite some curiosity having some of this content in the show. I won’t read medical publications but the Radio Lab’s presentation is so accessible, high-quality and entertaining that I enjoy listening to every episode. (If you don’t listen to Radio Lab you should try the Emergence episode.) In the same way the Java Posse makes the Java news entertaining but I think the topics could be a bit more diverse. What do you think, should the Java Posse podcast change in any way? Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
