More than 15 years ago I was an avid follower of him on software development. He was an excellent developer and a good man. This is very very sad, condolences to his family.
Same here. I wanted to improve my Java code... to improve organization & readability. I found Guice and watched his videos. Came to really enjoy his talks and would seek them out on topics I wasn't so interested in.. just interested in his style of presentation. I guess I was charmed by him.
Such a tragic loss for the programmer community and of course... his family. Deepest condolences.
