Clearer Thinking, Open Communication.

I talked with Rod Johnson first in 2003 (Boston), and some of his (VMWare's) employees are my personal friends (all at a professional enough level!). Some of my writings then are still available on-line and would involve people like Nitin Bharti, Jason Carreira, Floyd Marinescu (now a celebrity with InfoQ!)
With that background, I would like to say that - Rod appears to have (been developing) a clear(er) thinking; much clear in the business domain. When Rod applied his clear thinking first (with the WROX book - J2EE Development without EJB) in the technology domain, now he seems to do similar (and successfully so) in the business domain. This talk shows! It's a compliment to Rod.
The communication and the tone is also quite predominant (confident and assertive with genuineness) in this talk. That's another compliment to Rod.
I should also compliment (thank!) Floyd Marinescu for bringing out this talk on InfoQ for everyone to watch/witness and learn from. You have to *feel* the vision. We are working in the progressive industry of software! :)
In one of his concluding presentation slides, Rod mentions "Today everyone's an entrepreneur in their own career". Recently, I attended a talk (Note - I am not in *any* way promoting the talk or that business; rather, just mentioning here) at Persistent Systems, Pune, India, done by 1M/1M (by Sramana Mitra). 1M/1M campaign voiced similar need in this changing world - developing entrepreneurs. I met some *very young* entrepreneurs at that venue. Point is - you have to be on the cutting edge to see how things are changing rapidly these days in the information world.
