The Rich Engineering Heritage Behind Dependency Injection

Andrew McVeigh takes us on a tour of the rich heritage behind dependency injection, what it represents, and tells us why its here to stay.

Java, the OLPC, and community responsibility

The "One Laptop Per Child" project has a great device ready to ship, but there's no Java on there. Let's think about working together to put Java on OLPC!

EZ Interviews: Wayne Beaton

URL: Wayne Beaton Interview

At 8:56 PM on Oct 4, 2005, Ed Burnette Javalobby Junkies wrote:

In June 2005, the Eclipse Foundation started a search for a person described as an "Eclipse Evangelist". This person would travel to user conferences, write articles, create demos, etc. in order to promote Eclipse. Three months later, Mike Milinkovich, director of the Eclipse Foundation announced that the search had ended and Wayne Beaton was the new evangelist. Since Wayne has been largely unknown in the Eclipse community until now, I decided to try and get to know him a bit better.

Read the rest of this exclusive new interview with Wayne Beaton and then come back here to give us your thoughts and questions.

Update: Bonus Contest! The article has three pictures of Wayne which he supplied without captions, so we had to make up our own. Think you can do better? The person who submits the funniest captions, in our opinion, will win a $20 Amazon gift certificate.*

* Contest only valid if we get 3 or more entries. Contest ends 10/31/2005. JL network editors and moderators are not eligible. Void where prohibited, blah blah blah.

2. Hi, before learning Eclipse, I first tell you how to fight, fight against endless bugs.
3. Oh, my god, who push me into the water?!So excited...
