Best of 2008: A developer's list
JW blogger Dustin Marx names his top 10 technology events of 2008. Highlights include updates to Java SE 6, runtime support in OpenLaszlo 4.2, and the clash of the titans that occurred early in the year, when Sun acquired MySQL on the same day that Oracle announced its acquisition of BEA. No two lists are alike and it's not too late: What were your top 10 for 2008?

I have long admired highscalability.com for its focus on interesting techniques, libraries, and case studies all related to the hip art of scaling; indeed, this website has some super cool articles regarding YouTube, Amazon, and Google to name a few high profile websites that appear to have scaled quite copasetically. Consequently, it was quite an honor to chat with Todd Hoff, the founder of the aforementioned blog for JavaWorld’s Java Technology Insider.
In this hip podcast, Todd rhapsodizes about Twitter, eBay, and Amazon, while hitting such subjects as sharding, parallelization, and caching. What’s more, Todd shares his views on Java, Ruby, and cloud computing. I definitely had a great time chatting with Todd as I learned quite a few things, man. So what are you waiting for? Have a listen!
