Episode 174 - 18 And Life Until last week, I was going to open the show saying it's been a long time since we last recorded, but we slipped in an interview with the guys from plz.review - so that's not exactly true anymore. It has, however, still been a while since we've had a normal, full session of discussion and argument. Delayed: The publishing…

Once again it's been a long time coming between episodes, Auckland's recent extended Covid lock down and Mark's unscheduled and temporary relocation meant we missed out on discussion the release of Java 17 - and with Java 18 not all that far away, we thought it was about time to once again get our record on. Andres Almiray once again joins us to ta…

In an unprecedented show of activity - merely two weeks after the new years first episode (170) Mark and Greg are back, this time joined by Andres Almiray (Oracle) and Stephen Connolly (Cloudbees) to discuss all things build, modules, this weeks Java 16 release, and why Java programmers should take a look at the rust programming language. Hosts Mar…

Illegal Argument Episode 170 Mark and Greg emerge from their 2020/2021 Christmas/New Year breaks, and temporary Level 3 lock down to break their silence, attempt to remember how to podcast, and further the rumor that we only record an episode on the eve of a new Java release.

What’s this? Another Illegal Argument episode already? And so close to the last one - it seems the shift to working from home and remote recording has already showed a payoff. During the last episode, I’d had it in my mind to discuss the need to improve our documentation, and general communication skills that developers, and development teams often…

Welcome to the first episode of 2020 - recorded just before all of Coronavirus Mania and then promptly the editing and publishing got unfortunately thrown to the sidelines for a week.

For an ostensibly forthrightly podcast, we only managed 10 episodes this year, of which one was a mini-solo cast from Mark, too many holidays and rock concerts getting in the way of recording.

Save 418 - I was hoping to actually shift the discussion of “Save 418” more towards the importance of specifications, and how ‘in the old days’ protocols/specs were king, as everything was reused and distributed - but now, it’s “the Twitter API” or “the Facebook API” — still, we managed an somewhat interesting discussion over the broadening of spec…
