Magpie Talkshow Episode 10 - Martin Fowler (Small Room Edition)

Many of you have probably heard of my colleague Martin Fowler before. I'm lucky enough to get to work with him on occasion as part of my role on ThoughtWorks' Technology Advisory Board, which is an internal body inside ThoughtWorks itself. One of our main jobs is putting out the twice yearly Technology Radar, and I was in our New York office recently to work on the new version when Martin and I found time to catch up for a chat.

Recorded in a rather cozy room, we talked about many things, including how Martin got where he is today, how the tech radar is created, and even the future of computing books.

During the interview we reference quite a few things, so there are a bunch of links for further reading if you're so inclined:
