Episode 81: Interview Erich Gamma

This episode is a conversation with Erich Gamma. We covered the
four things he is known for in chronological order. We started with
design patterns and the Gang-of-Four book of which he is the lead
author. We then looked at JUnit, the testing framework he
coauthored with Kent Beck and how it introduced unit testing to the
masses. The next topic is obviously Eclipse, where Erich and his
lab in Zürich is responsible for the Java Development Tooling. We
also briefly discussed The Eclipse Way, the (obviously) successful
process the Eclipse team uses for developing Eclipse itself.
Finally, we're looking at Erich's current endeavour, the Jazz
project. Jazz is a technology for collaborative software
development.
