Building the Middle Tier and Doing Software Migrations: a Conversation with Rashmi Venugopal

In this podcast, Michael Stiefel spoke with Rashmi Venugopal about two topics. The first is how the middle-tier creates the application from the raw materials in the back-end, and how the front-end uses the middle-tier to present a meaningful workflow to the user. The second is how to manage the usually inevitable software migration that results from a successful software product.
