The Java Posse

Roundup 08 - The Versus Discussion

Fully formatted shownotes can always be found at http://javaposse.com
Agile vs. Traditional methodologies and Properties vs. Immutability in this recording from the Java Posse Roundup 2008.

Also, we have a last minute change to the Roundup 2009 - SDWest announced clashing dates to us, so rather than conflict with them again this year, we moved the date up by a week, so the new dates are March 3rd to 6th in Crested Butte, CO, with an alternative languages on the JVM day scheduled for Monday 2nd (the day before).
