Joe and I were on the Motorola Android Developer podcast this Wednesday morning. Enjoy.

Dion and I were (again) the two Ajax-tag-alongs on the OnAIR Tour in Europe. So we had a quick chat about what Nitobi has been up to with our Ajax components.

I also interviewed Dion about App Engine, which I’ll be posting shortly.

I was recently invited by my good friends Ryan Stewart and Cote to participate in their weekly podcast about Rich Internet Applications. Episode 3 is up on Redmonk’s Podcast.

We covered quite a range of topics:
* Usability, User Experience
* Designer/Developers and Workflow
* BlazeDS
* 2008 RIA Predictions - Ajax all the way baby!

Download the the MP3 here.

Goes a little something like this.

Well kinda. Our super duper intern Andrew Lunny put this together as a side project for UBC’s Comp Sci program.

How to get a job in Computer Science - shot in Vancouver, November 2007. Everything done by Andrew Lunny and Eugene Katsov, Team Discovery Channel, except the bits we didn’t do.

It was fun to be part of it. Hopefully we can do more of these fun little side projects as a team, it was a blast!

Michael Mahemoff is starting a series of podcasts to go along with the content’s of his new book Ajax Design Patterns. 

I was a guest on episode one where we talked about 9 patterns of Ajax widgets:

• Slider
• Progress Indicator
• Drilldown
• Data Grid
• Rich Text Editor
• Suggestion
• Live Search
• Live Command-Line
• Live Form

Dave joined Michael for episode 2 where they discussed ten patterns of Ajax Architecture:

• Drag-And-Drop
• Sprite
• Popup
• Malleable Content
• Microlink
• Portlet
• Status Area
• Update Control
• Virtual Workspace

Michael has a very deep knowledge of these patterns and keeps the listening interesting.  IMHO.  Can’t wait to podcast with Michael again. You can get  all of Michae’s podcasts here:
