In this interview, Andrey Grebnev tells us why he thinks AJAX is more hype than substance. He talks about the Java technologies that he is excited about and also gives us an overview of the IT scene in Russia.
We all read reports saying that Russia is changing rapidly and that it will be an IT force to reckon with in the near future. However when it comes to ground realities in Russia and the kind of software development and Java work happening in the country, most of us know very little.
We speak to Andrey about IT in Russia, how offshoring works in the country as well as his exploits in the Java world. Andrey also gives us an overview of the opensource AtLeap CMS and tells us when to go for a PHP CMS and when will a Java CMS be a better pick.
