In this presentation from RubyFringe, Nick Sieger, who works on JRuby and Sun's Kenai, a project hosting site built with JRuby, talks about Jazz and Programming.

In this very well received presentation, Nick tells the audience of his time as a Jazz musician, and explains the many different styles of Jazz and their history. He later relates these styles to the different programming languages in the industry and the software industry can learn from the Jazz scene.
