Listen to Episode 1 (audio file) | This is the RSS podcast feed! | We are now in iTunes!
We’re excited to be back to recording a developer show! We have missed the excuse to get together and talk technology as we have done in the past on Audible Ajax and the Open Web Podcast.
Since launching the FunctionSource website a couple of months ago, we have been waiting to get the sister podcast going too. We are excited to announce that Ben and Dion are joined by a new co-host, Joe Hewitt.
Joe is infamous in the developer community thanks to his work on Firefox, Firebug, iUI, the Facebook iOS app, Scrollability, and more.
In this episode you will hear us getting up to speed with what we have been working on in the worlds of mobile and HTML5. We each have new projects to talk about, including: the stack behind FunctionSource, our recent move to Walmart Mobile, and Joe’s move to self-employment. We have all worked in the worlds of both native and Web recently, which leads us into discussion around the two. How do the two worlds combine? Is it really native vs. Web, or a much more nuance decision?
It is an extrememely exciting time for software development. Web browsers are gaining new abilities faster than ever. JavaScript is screaming on the server with Node.js. Consumers have the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy in their pockets.
Thanks for listening to the show, and please let us know if there is anything that you would like to hear from us in future episodes!
Ben, Dion, and Joe
P.s. We apologize for the fan noise that kicks in later in the podcast. We will get that fixed next time!
