Johannes Thönes talks with Erich Gamma, Ralph Johnson and Richard Helm from the Gang of Four about the 20th anniversary of their book Design Patterns. They discuss the following topics: the definition of a design pattern and each guest’s favorite design pattern; the origins of the book in architecture workshops; the writing of the book together with the community; the rock-star feeling at the release of the book at OOPSLA conference; the influence of the book on the industry; the evolution of the Observer pattern; and new patterns since the book was released. The interview closes with each guest talking about their current projects.

Great episode, listening to them after having their work be such a large component of development in recent years. My only complaint was that the audio quality needed some work — very difficult to hear/understand/follow the conversation.
Something is different (technically, in the RSS feed) about this episode than all the others. My Podcatcher (Podkicker for Android) shows it as “404 Unavailable”. Any chance it could be reposted? Thanks.
