Episode 75 - Palm, Gosling and PHP

Lots of small tidbits all cropped up around the same time. Palm (with its great webOS) looks to be trying to sell itself off. James Gosling, the father of Java, moves on to pastures greener (or just different). Opera Mini is now on the iPhone (and pretty fast too), and I rant a bit about my recent PHP experiences.

Episode 74: IE9, visitor recording, conferences and more

IE9 developer preview is out - are you testing with it yet?

I recently found UserFly.com as a great tool to track and record your visitors' sessions, then found an older set of example code called MoveLogger if you're inclined to try to build the same thing from scratch.

ClickHeat is a tool I've used to track where people are clicking on sites, giving you a pretty good idea of how visitors are engaging with your site.

Some interesting conferences coming up over next few months - JSConf in DC, TXJS in Austin and NCDevCon in Raleigh. Know of any more?

Mostly a quick catch up letting you know what I've been up to, some new technologies I've found that might be of interest to you (Twilio and Titanium), where I'll be in the upcoming months, and an open invitation for your feedback.

Also, a quick update on GroovyMag and JSMag - use coupon code "oneyearold" at http://jsmag.com to select a free issue.

Episode 72: Groovy Grails Griffon Greatness at CodeMash

I got a chance to catch up with some legendary names from the GR8 community while at CodeMash. Andres Almiray, Dave Klein, Chris Judd and Jim Shingler all gave me a few minutes of their time to talk about the Groovy year behind us and the GR8 year ahead of us.

Episode 71: Frank Zammetti on webOS

We last left Frank back in 2006(!) with the publication of his (then) first book. I caught up with him to talk about his latest book (#6!) - Practical Palm Pre webOS Projects (we eventually get the title right!). Frank talks about the good, the bad and the ugly in the Palm Pre development world.
