I listened to a Google development podcast about the Google program Guice. The podcast was posted by Dion Almaer (a Google Developer), and had Dick Wall and Car Quinn (two ‘Googlers’). They talked to Bob Lee, who worked on developing Google Guice. Google Guice is a program that helps programers in eliminating ‘factories’ (which I’m not actually sure what they are) and replace them with more code-friendly java. The end result is code that is easier to change, test, and reuse. The podcast talks about how they do this, and how it is useful for users.

The podcast was interesting for me, although some of the technical terms went over my head as I only have limited programming experience. The idea of having the developers of Google talking about what they are doing with software development seems like a good thing, even for those people who do not fully understand the terms. It feels very open-source and friendly, which is part of Google’s image.
