Episode 2 - Brian LeRoux

Mon, 21 Jun 2010 09:04:00 -0700

jsconf-brian-leroux.mp3 Listen on Posterous

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.

Announcing JSConf Live!

Mon, 07 Jun 2010 10:00:00 -0700

So after JSConf US 2010 and the 200+ speaker submissions, we decided there was something else we, as JSConf, needed to do - we needed to come up with a better way to get you in touch with the best JavaScript programmers in the world! So today we are launching something we have been working on for quite a while - JSConf Live. JSConf Live is a frequently updated podcast with interviews from the most important people in JavaScript, both historically and those that are changing the world today. The goal is to get you familiar with who the movers and shakers are in the world of JavaScript and to bring you a little bit of the magic of JSConf on a more regular basis. The podcast, like JSConf, will contain adult language and crazy mind-rocking ideas, so be sure to put this in your feed reader, because you won't want to miss it. Also we will be cross posting the JSConf videos here at JSConf Live, so you have a single stream for all the JavaScript awesome you might want!

Your magic school bus drivers for this podcast will be Chris Williams (@voodootikigod) and Rey Bango (@reybango)

Also, we are definitely looking for speakers, so if you think you have the chops to be JSConf Live, don't hesitate to reach out to us via email at info@jsconflive.com!
