No plan, no roadmap. It just happened. To mark the occasion, Frank turned the microphone around and invited other podcasters: Adam Bien (airhacks.fm), Jennifer Reif (Breaktime Tech Talks), Kadi McKean and Steve Pool (10xInsights), and Oumaima Zerouali (JCast). Same three questions for each: why did you start, what broke, and what did you learn?&lt;/p&gt;

Most content is in English, which works well for many developers. However, there&amp;rsquo;s something special about discussing complex topics in your native language. The nuances. The humor. The ability to express yourself freely without translating your thoughts first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s why we created JCast, a podcast for the Dutch-speaking developer community. Moreover, today we&amp;rsquo;re excited to launch Season 2!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="h2-0-season-2-starts-with-frank-delporte"&gt;Season 2 Starts with Frank Delporte&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For our second season opener, we sat down with Frank Delporte. He&amp;rsquo;s well-known in the Java community as a Java Champion. Additionally, he&amp;rsquo;s a Java Developer, Technical Writer at Azul, Blogger, and Author of &amp;ldquo;Getting started with Java on Raspberry Pi&amp;rdquo;. Furthermore, he&amp;rsquo;s a Pi4J Contributor.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
