Chariot BusinessCast Episode 1 - (nee TechCast Episode 36) - Sean Blanda of TechnicallyPhilly.com

I had a great conversation with TechnicallyPhilly's Sean Blanda last week.    We talked about how the Philly IT scene is still lively, and about how he and his two compadres Brian James Kirk and Christopher Wink gather and write up news on their lively and informative website. Technically Philly covered our Philadelphia Emerging Tech show in the spring (article here). Some of our topics of conversation have related articles:

  1. Someone who bikes a lot on the trails in Philly (we have a lot of good road biking trails here) wrote an app to track crime on the trail.
  2. Read their article about recycled machines ending up in Ghana
  3. Read up on the state funding issues for Ben Franklin Technology Partners, a capital group based in Philadelphia.

Enjoy the website.  You can hit it from www.technicallyphilly.com or www.tphilly.com if you don't want to type so much, and it's iPhone friendly.

Episode 34 - James Ward on Flex 4, Flash Builder, and more

Today's guest is James Ward, of Adobe Systems.  James is a technology evangelist on Flex and AIR solutions for Adobe.  We talked about the upcoming Flex 4.0 SDK, Flash Builder (the new name for Flex Builder) and other topics such as remoting, AMF and various implementations of the AMF format.

This is a good podcast to listen to if you are interested in the future of Flex, as there are some significant changes and improvements on the horizon.

Items of note:

  1. Flash Builder Beta - Download link.
  2. Flex 4.0 Beta (Gumbo) - Project homepage.
  3. AMF binary remoting and BlazeDS
  4. Some UI frameworks - PureMVC, Swiz and SmartyPants (IoC based), Parsley (also mentioned Matt(e) but no link handy.)
  5. RubyAMF
  6. James' web site
  7. Drunk on Software!

Enjoy the podcast, I think you'll find it informative.
