Episode 2 - Brian Leroux

chris@iterativedesigns.com — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 15:27:18 GMT

Rey Bango and Chris Williams have a very pleasant and future focused conversation with the notorious Brian LeRoux. Discussions mainly focus around mobile and tablet devices, but definitely extend in to the ubiquitous computing platforms. This is truly a rare glimpse into the mind of an awesome developer at the forefront of the next generation of technology. Be warned, despite conversations that include deep philosophy, Brian keeps it real and fresh - and generally NSFW.
