Brian LeRoux, spacelord!1!! at Nitobi, joined us to discuss PhoneGap, an open source project to enable mobile application development with web development tools. We also discuss Nitobi itself and the organization that enables the development of a project like PhoneGap.

Here’s the mp3.

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!

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:

Note: This is an ‘enhanced’ podcast filled with relevant photos and links (use your viewer window in the bottom left corner of iTunes).

While playing with Elastic Path “thinking putty,” they discuss ways to optimize the user experience, pros and cons of various technologies, the EBA Grid and Combo Box products and recap a few Gnomedex conference highlights – plus have some laughs about ski culture (gapers), community building, fantasy sports and the fleece-filled recreational equipment district of Vancouver.
