I recently caught up with Ross Mason, co-founder and CTO of MuleSoft, to ask him about the launch of Mule iBeans, a new integration framework that allows your existing Java web applications to easily interact with other webapps and services, such as Twitter, Flickr, Gmail, and Amazon EC2.
In conjunction with the exciting news about our new enterprise product for Tomcat, Tcat Server, we are thrilled to announce that Jason Brittain, renowned Tomcat expert and author of the best-selling O’Reilly book Tomcat: The Definitive Guide, has joined MuleSoft. As an architect on Tcat Server, Jason will bring his wealth of knowledge and ten years of experience working with Tomcat to help us continue to develop the very best enterprise product for Tomcat. As a champion of Tomcat, Jason will also work with the server-side Java community to educate developers and administrators about Tomcat and Tcat Server.
I interviewed Jason recently to talk about his role and why he made the move to MuleSoft. You can listen to the podcast of that interview here.
Welcome, Jason!
