| INTERVIEWS
Bruce Eckel has taught thousands of programmers the complexities of writing code in C++ and Java. In this interview, he reflects on the strengths and weaknesses of both languages from a learner's perspective and focuses on the impact of adoption of a C++ standard on users. [MORE] We catch up with Allen Holub as he is working on a three-volume writing project that will focus on compiler design in Java. In this interview he speaks his mind about Java VMs and interpreters, C++, object-orientation, generic programming, Java threading and Microsoft. [MORE] A few years ago, Stan Lippman left the quiet confines of Bell Labs where he helped create C++ to go west... In this interview, he reflects on the standard and the insights brought to him by working on real-world C++ projects, presents the latest edition of the "Primer" and compares the C++ object model to dynamic component object architectures. [MORE] Few programmers are more informed about Microsoft technologies than Richard Hale Shaw. In this interview he discusses MCVC++ 6.0, COM development with MFC and ATL, programming languages and more... [MORE] MS COM has spread out from its Windows roots and is now widely available on other platforms. Christian Gross explains the challenge of providing native COM implementations and gives us a status report on the availability of these implementations on non-Windows operating systems.
