Upcoming Guests on HerdingCode: Rob Conery, Glenn Block, [your suggestion here]

Jon Galloway — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 04:52:50 GMT

We’ve done eight episodes of Herding Code in round table format, but we’ve always anticipated bringing on some guests once we had our act together. We’re excited about having Rob Conery as our first guest Tuesday night (7/15). We’ve also had a few folks tell us they’re willing to appear in future shows, including Glenn Block and Scott Bellware.

We’d love to hear you questions for these guest (especially Rob, since he’s confirmed for this week) as well as your recommendations for future guests. While you can always leave comments here or on the Herding Code site, the simplest way to give us feedback is by filling out this quick six question survey.

We’ve been experimenting with a weekly technology round table podcast for the past five weeks; now we have our act together to the point where we’re ready to officially launch it. We’re at HerdingCode.com, and you can subscribe to our feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/HerdingCode on your iPod, Zune, or whatever crazy podcast client you choose.

By we, I mean:

K. Scott Allen (a.k.a. OdeToCode)

Scott Koon (a.k.a. Lazycoder)

Head on over and give it a listen. On the current episode, we ~~argue~~ discuss whether Silverlight is just another flavor of ActiveX, or if it’s here to stay.

The Name, The Feed, etc.

This is our last podcast hosting the audio on SkyDrive, I promise. I’d planned to take care of it last weekend and a family emergency… um… emerged. You can help! Please take our super quick survey to vote on a name for our podcast.

I'd hoped we could use SkyDrive to host the audio and set up a nice podcast feed on top of it via FeedBurner, but it turns out that SkyDrive doesn't send the media type with MP3 enclosures in a way Feedburner expects, so that's out. I'm looking into other hosting options, please comment in our survey if you’ve got any recommendations. We’ve been wanting to keep our costs down so we have the option of continuing long term without requiring sponsorship, but we’ll get our site set up for you for next week’s podcast. Honest.

The Audio

I think we finally nailed the audio this week. Thanks to Joe Pruitt and others for some great suggestions on how to set this up.

We're closing in on a name (and thus a domain and a website and a real podcast feed, etc.). Here's our current list, please give us your feedback or alternate suggestions.

The Audio

Audio quality's a bit worse this week. We're working on it - it's harder than you'd think (you should have heard what the source audio files sounded like). Right now we use Skype for the call, but everyone records their own audio and I edit and clean it up. We use Call Graph as a backup in case someone's audio recording doesn't work. UPDATE: Fixed a problem with K Scott's audio. Much better now.

The Hosting

So far we've been hosting the audio on SkyDrive. We've been planning to host it ourselves, but I'm wondering if SkyDrive's hosting would be sufficient provided that we had a solid podcast RSS feed. This should only be a problem if you can't access the files for some reason - it's requiring a login, or blocked by your corporate network or something. Please let me know if you have problems with this episode so we can make an informed decision. Other alternatives we've considered are the Site5 Uberplan and Amazon S3. Got any input there?

Technology Round Table #3: Should developers learn C? + TechEd 2008 Announcements

Thanks for your patience (and great feedback) as we get our act together here. We've decided to make the content the top priority, and get the non-content details (feed, website, branding, etc.) next. Any suggestions for website address, podcast name, or any other ways we can improve?

Technology Round Table Podcast #2 - AJAX Frameworks

Jon Galloway — Fri, 30 May 2008 06:48:00 GMT

Last week I posted the first in a new podcast series with K. Scott Allen (a.k.a. OdeToCode), Scott Koon (a.k.a. LazyCoder), and Kevin Dente. We got some great feedback, but we decided to ignore it and continue the podcast. So here's another one!

But seriously, this one's a lot shorter (too short?) and you'll hopefully find the sound quality's improved. We've also heard from several people that, while it's easy for a group of geeks to criticize anything and everything, that doesn't necessarily transfer into useful information.
