Guests: Dennis Mancl, Steven Fraser, and Bill Opdyke


Host: Markus Völter

Objects were not the silver bullet to solve all of our
problems building software. Why not? Are there are silver
bullets on the horizon? ooPSLA
regulars Dennis Mancl, Steven Fraser, and Bill Opdyke have
been thinking about these and many related questions for a
number of years. They have also been working in industry to
come up with better answers. At ooPSLA
2007, Dennis, Steven, and Bill are leading a workshop titled
No Silver Bullet: A Retrospective on the Essence and
Accidents of Software Engineering.

In this podcast, they join Markus Völter of SE Radio
to discuss silver bullets and software development.
