WebDevRadio

Got a chance to catch up with Brian Hitney. We've met up a few times over the last couple of years, but I think this is only our second interview. Brian's focusing on cloud computing efforts (MS Azure, etc) these days, so we pivoted around that for some time.

Had a chance to sit down with Jeff Kibler of Infobright to talk about their column-oriented database offering, and how it can improve data reporting efforts.

Heading off to Moscow in a bit, but wanted to touch base with you all before I get on the plane :) The Twitter Bootstrap project looks pretty cool, HP's Touchpad died an untimely death, and I need a bit of help with some charting. Thanks to ComponentOne for being an indieconf sponsor! :)

Slight rant on what's been bothering me with MVC directory structures, and a plug for Cal Evans' Day Camp For Developers in October. indieconf discounts for listeners, and I'll be in Moscow in September - let me know if you'd like to meet up.

Quick advice - avoid fixed bid projects. Some day I'll learn my lesson! :) A couple of neat javascript projects have crossed my desk recently, and I'd invite you to vote in our indieconf presentation selection process. NOTE - bit.ly link in podcast is wrong - see show notes on webdevradio.com instead.

This episode is a conversation with Prashant Deva about the new Chronon flight data recorder for Java applications and debugging. we dig in to the history of the project, some implementation details, future plans, and some of the issues around dynamic languages on the JVM.

Just a quick update on what's been going on with me, some thoughts on estimating, and a new game system for getting started with Azure.

This is a little late, but I had an interesting chat with Michelangelo van Dam - @dragonbe on twitter - at the 2010 ZendCon.

I had a great time chatting with Travis about git, php, languages and much more at ZendCon 2010. Enjoy!

Farewell 2010 - it was a great run! A quick update and a few interesting new projects I've come across - new interviews in 2011!

Some musings on recent security exploits with ASP.NET, Twitter, Diaspora and more.

Quick update about progress on indieconf, a client-side image resizing javascript project I put together, some news about recent project releases in the web community, and a bit of a moral dilemma I faced with respect to reporting a security hole.

Last episode I talked about twilio, and this episode I wanted to introduce you to quickfuseapps, and also bring you the announcement I couldn't quite make last episode. Indieconf is a conference for freelance and independent web professionals, to be held in Raleigh, NC in November.

Just a quick episode catching you up on some of the things I've been up to recently, as well as a few recent tidbits of interest.

I caught up with Bob Silverberg shortly after his ORM presentation at NCDevCon and we rapped on the new CF9 ORM layer, testing and other goodness. Enjoy!
