Shownotes for Episode #009 - Interview with Josh Bloch of Google

Josh Bloch is a well known Java visionary and speaker. In addition to his numerous contributions to the JDK, which include the Java util collections library, he has served on a number of JSRs such as 166 (Concurrency Utilities), 175 (Metadata, or annotations) and 201 (Enumerations, Autoboxing, the new for loops and static importing). Josh has also written two books on Java: "Effective Java" (which won a jolt award), and "Java Puzzlers" (the latter with Neal Gafter). He currently works for Google having moved there from Sun after the release of Java 5.

Please Note: We know the audio quality of this episode is perhaps not the best, but the quality of the content more than makes up for it. Sometimes you are simply limited by what Skype can do. Everything is audible, and the volume is as even as we could make it.
