WebDevRadio: Episode 58: Raleigh Code Camp reflections, Chrome wins speed tests, GroovyMag

Michael Kimsal — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:02:00 -0500

I attended the Raleigh Code Camp last week and had a blast meeting some awesome people (but of course there's never enough time to meet everyone you'd like to!). Some great sessions I attended covered the MS MVC platform and an introduction to MS DLR, both of which I discuss here in a bit more detail. Also, following up last podcast's ramblings on Javascript speed tests, there's a story today about how Chrome has beat out other browsers in a Javascript benchmark. Additionally, I chat about my new magazine project, GroovyMag.

Michael Kimsal — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:13:00 -0400

No, those aren't related, but I've got a couple small rants about Adobe's Flex/AIR video system, why I moved back to Windows Media, and (separately) a small but insightful(!) take on the current state of job boards and how job seekers and employers find each other (hint - it stinks right now).

WebDevRadio: Episode 47: SnapLogic at the MySQL User Conference

Michael Kimsal — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 03:49:00 -0400

I got a chance to get a quick demo of SnapLogic, and open source application to make mashing up your internal data easier. Think of it like an open source Yahoo! Pipes. It's more than that, but that's a quick idea of what it can do. From their site: "SnapLogic makes it easy to access, transform and integrate all kinds of data wherever it may be: databases, hosted applications, Web pages, SOA Web services, flat files, RSS feeds, XML documents and more." The guys gave me some background on the project, what it's capable of, and where it's heading.<ul><li><a href="http://snaplogic.com" title="SnapLogic - Really Simple Integration">SnapLogic</a> :: SnapLogic - Really Simple Integration</a></li></ul><p><a href="http://www.webdevradio.com/pod/podcast-webdevradio-2008-04-25-41985.mp3">File Download (15:55 min / 11 MB)</a></p><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=TPssAc"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=TPssAc" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=7a2hDRg"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=7a2hDRg" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=G7ka4SG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=G7ka4SG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=vQwMhwG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=vQwMhwG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=nB0AQYg"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=nB0AQYg" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=Na4rmxg"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=Na4rmxg" border="0"></img></a></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebdevradioPodcastHome/~4/277663478" height="1" width="1"/>

I met Joe Audette of the MojoPortal project out at the MySQL User Conference last week and took a few minutes to give us some background on the project and where it's going.

WebDevRadio: Episode 45: Symfony Project at MySQL User Conference

Michael Kimsal — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 18:34:00 -0400

I had a chance to catch up with the Symfony guys at the MySQL User Conference a few days ago. We get some background on the Symfony project, and a glimpse as to where things are going in the near future. This was my first 'from the floor' recording - I think the levels are *OK*, but please bear with me - Fabien sounded better in person :) I think I got a small 'exclusive/breaking news' at the time, but I wasn't able to get the podcast up until now.<ul><li><a href="http://www.symfony-project.org/" title="Symfony Project home page">Symfony</a> :: Symfony Project home page</a></li></ul><p><a href="http://www.webdevradio.com/pod/podcast-webdevradio-2008-04-21-91687.mp3">File Download (10:44 min / 7 MB)</a></p><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=2fHZ2m"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=2fHZ2m" border="0"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=qi80LJg"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=qi80LJg" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=dSzfYcG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=dSzfYcG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=0NOiQgG"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=0NOiQgG" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=XVgVF9g"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=XVgVF9g" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?a=ZIWuC7g"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/WebdevradioPodcastHome?i=ZIWuC7g" border="0"></img></a></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebdevradioPodcastHome/~4/275135215" height="1" width="1"/>
