My ARCast Recording on Occasionally Connected Clients now available online

Ron Jacobs has his own little corner of Channel 9, where he stores all of his ARCast podcast recordings.  These are 30-45 minutes interviews/discussions on various different topics related to computer architecture.  

My latest session with Ron was at TechEd Israel, last month.   Ron came over to Israel for the event and in addition to his session presentations, he also did a series of ARCast recordings.  Although I wasn't on the original schedule, he asked me to find a free time slot to join him.  I was actually Ron's first podcast interviewee ever, except that due to technical difficulties, the session could never be posted...

We decided to talk about Occasionally Connected Clients.  This was really fun for me because it dovetailed nicely with my TechEd session of the (almost) same title.  However, whereas in my breakout session I covered the topic mainly from a code/implementation perspective, in my ARCast interview with Ron, we discussed it from a higher, architectural perspective.

You can find a list of all ARCast recordings and download them from here.

  • It was a good interview, too, Jackie.

    One thing I learned from it was that Sql Everywhere is actually run in-process, distributed as a set of DLLs with your executable. I didn't realise that. That in itself makes it *much* more desirable than Sql Express as a "smart client" solution.

  • Thanks Matt.
    Running in-process certainly IS a huge plus for SQL Everywhere and I will urge our clients to use/consider it where appropriate. But SQL Express will still have its place.
