In this episode we talk with Jeff McAffer about building platforms.
We start with a brief discussion about what a platform is in
contrast to a framework or an application. Drawing from his
experiences working on the Eclipse platform for years, Jeff talks
with us about how to develop platforms, why developing a platform
is different from developing an application, what makes a good
platform great, and why API design becomes so extremely important
for platforms. He provides us with some insights on how the
development process and the client collaboration for platform
development could look like and what has and has not worked in the
past.
