Interview with Dan Allen on Seam, Part 1 available on the TechCast

I just published an interview with Dan Allen on the Seam Framework on our Chariot Tech Cast.  Give it a listen if you're curious how Seam differs from other application frameworks.  If you're developing on Java EE 6, you should consider Seam alongside of other platforms such as Spring and Grails, due to the way it helps provide the glue to make developers more productive in various APIs.

One thing interesting that Dan said is that the approaches of Seam and Spring differ in one major way.  Seam essentially provides access to the APIs of interest, while putting together the plumbing to make it easy to use them the way they were intented.  Spring, on the other hand, simplifies access to most other APIs by wrapping them.  I thought this was a great way of contrasting the approaches.
