Floyd Marinescu is truly a leader in the coding community. Besides writing some of the most influential books in the Java world, he has brought developers together in two popular online venues which he founded: TheServerSide.com and TheServerSide.net.  Now Floyd is using his unique talent for building virtual societies in a new endeavor called InfoQ.  Whereas TheServerSide.com catered to a Java audience, and TheServerSide.net catered to Microsoft developers, InfoQ is a venue for programmers on any platform. 

Here, Floyd talks to Mohammad Akif of Microsoft Canada about bringing software folk together. Floyd also talks about patterns in software architecture, making a clear distinction between best practices and real patterns.

    Get the free .NET Tips and Tricks book here: http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/vsnettt

    I think InfoQ is a great idea: A community of communities that spans platforms and provides flexibility to see only the content that you care about.

    Great to see .NET, Java, etc all in one place.

    Nice work, Floyd et al!

    Typical Slashdot flamebait on this video (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/09/09/0340200&from=rss) I find myself actually clicking on less and less articles there.

    Best comment is: If that guy is so great why have I never heard from him".

    Give me a break and get over yourself.  Thanks Charles and Floyd for the video

    Thank you, Floyd. One question: where is the thread hover and inline login functionality that you demoed in the interview? I don't see this inline AJAX popup behavior on your site.

    If you click on login, or if you try to do anything that requires you to be logged in (such as repyling to a thread under any content item, or try to download a book), then you'll see the login popup!

    Cool. What about the thread-hover feature (so, when one hovers over a threaded chain of post, a popus displays the content of the post...).
