Together with my co-host, Greg Turnquist, we've just completed the first edition of the regular PondJumpers podcast. PondJumpers is an unbiased and friendly take on open source technologies where we get an opportunity to interview some of the innovators that are defining the technical landscape in which we travel.
It was a blast recording this interview and we had the pleasure of talking to Mark Fisher and Jonas Partner of the Spring Integration project.
A self-confessed polyglot programmer, Russ Miles is a senior consultant for SpringSource in the UK where he works with various companies to help them take full advantage of the Spring Framework. To ensure that he has as little spare time as possible, Russ contributes to various open source projects and has authored a number of books.
Russ is a keen contributor to open source projects and an author for O'Reilly Media. He has authored and co-authored 3 books; "AspectJ Cookbook", "Learning UML 2.0" and "Head First Software Development"
