Deductive Developers

In episode 2 we discuss a couple of open source news items, some of the exciting stuff going on with the Hackfest at OpenCF Summit, and talk a bit about a topic every techie loves: keeping your resume updated!

Quick aside--Matt apologizes for the crappy sound quality on his side. The offending headset has been ceremoniously smashed and set afire. A new headset is already on the way, as the Blue Yeti mic is also in the wings.

Here's the links/notes from this episode:

• Craig's List Donates $100,000 to the Perl Foundation
  • Open Source at Netflix -- why they use it and contribute to it
  • Apple's Great GPL Purge
• Flex Settling In at the Apache Foundation
• mod_cfml Site Goes Live!
• OpenCF Summit Hackfest is Sponsored by MasterCard
• OpenCF Summit Hackfest application Enlist is a Code For America Brigade App!
• During the OpenCF Summit keynote we are very pleased to be sharing a video welcome message from none other than ColdFusion co-creator Jeremy Allaire
• Peter argues the case for keeping your resume up to date. See how his turned out!
  • Matt confesses he hasn't updated his in 5 1/2 years and might not even know where it is anymore. #FAIL

Probably goes without saying but since Peter and I will both be at OpenCF Summit we'll do some podcasts while we're there. Heck, maybe we'll even do a Google+ Hangout. Of course you should really attend in person since it's a fantastic event for only $72 measley bucks, but for those of you who can't make it this will be the next best thing.

We figured this would be the first question we'd get from folks, and the answer is now yes, we have an iTunes feed available:

We'd appreciate you helping us spread the word about the new podcast. Thanks!

Welcome to the premiere episode of Deductive Developers, a new podcast by Peter J. Farrell and Matt Woodward, formerly of ColdFusion Weekly fame.

In this episode we talk a bit about why we're starting a new podcast and what we're going to cover, and we talk a bit about OpenCF Summit which is coming up on February 24 - 26 in Dallas, TX.

Some differences between this and CF Weekly:

• We aren't committing to doing this weekly necessarily
• Shorter episodes (15 - 30 minutes)
• Not focused exclusively on CFML-related topics
• More conversational, less strict format

Obligatory first episode quality excuses -- my aging Logitech headset was making a small banging noise as the cord moved but hopefully it's not too distracting. I'll use a different setup for the next episode.

Feedback is very welcomed! You can reach us in the following ways:

• email deductivedevelopers@maepub.com
• @deductivedevs on Twitter and identi.ca
• Deductive Developers page on Google+

We'll get the podcast added to the iTunes directory soon but in the mean time you can use the FeedBurner RSS URL to subscribe: http://feeds.feedburner.com/deductivedevelopers/kHbZ

Let us know what you think!
