According to the business weekly Barron's, the chief software
architect of BEA Systems, senior vice president Adam Bosworth, is leaving the
San Jose, CA-based company to join Google, Inc.
Barron's says the
departure was announced internally on Thursday of last week.
Google most recently hit the
headlines when it snagged Sun Microsystems engineer Joshua Bloch. Bloch is a
popular Java author ("Effective Java") and a well known industry figure - as is
Bosworth, who prior to Crossgain was an XML guru for Microsoft Corporation,
where he was a general manager in the late 90s.
Bosworth's most recent
activity for BEA involved its mobile "Alchemy" project, which he unveiled
personally at the company's recent eWorld
conference.
Interviewed by SYS-CON when he was vice president of
engineering of the Frameworks Division at BEA, Bosworth revealed what drives
him. "I've spent my life trying to make building applications easy," he
said, adding that what attracts him about i-technology is, basically, helping
developers build solutions - "developing products, plumbing, or technology to
help them build solutions."
Bosworth continued:
"Whether it was Active Server Pages and the extent of my work at
Microsoft, all of which was plumbing, or Access and working on the VB products,
I helped them build the application. That's what I like
doing."
His new job title at Google
isn't yet publicly known.
