Industry Misinterpretations 204: Smalltalk Focus

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 10:13:25 GMT

This week's podcast is part 1 of a 2 part interview with John O'Keefe, Principal Smalltalk Architect at Instantiations. With the recent news from them - Google buying the Java business, and Instantiations becoming a pure Smalltalk play - we thought a talk with them would be interesting. We weren't wrong - John had a lot of things to say! We'll have part 2 next Sunday.

Industry Misinterpretations 202: Instantiations at ESUG 2009

Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:36:13 GMT

This week's podcast was recorded on the last day of ESUG 2009, last summer. With all the news from Instantiations recently, I thought John O'Keefe's presentation would still be timely - and I realized that I had not posted it yet..

Industry Misinterpretations 201: Almost No Moving Parts

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:24:04 GMT

This week's podcast goes a bit afield from what we normally talk sbout. Michael just relocated his blog to his own domain, and the approach he's taken to running it is unique enough that we thought it might be interesting. It's definitely in the "less is more" category of software solutions.

Industry Misinterpretations 200: Lesser Smalltalk

Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:47:58 GMT

This week's podcast was recorded at the recent Camp Smalltalk event in London - I spent a few minutes with Alejandro Reimondo and Frank Lesser, talking about their Lesser Smalltalk project. It's been on the Smalltalk world's radar for awhile, since they started building a VM that could run VSE images and Dolphin images; they are now concentrating on VSE.

I have a longer video presentation from the event that I'll release in a week or two; the audio for this podcast is a bit rough, since there was a fair bit of background noise.

Industry Misinterpretations 197: Even More Package Reviews

Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:25:57 GMT

This week's podcast is part another in our series of package reviews from the public repository - next week we'll have part 1 of an interview with Eliot Miranda up, about his Cog VM.

There's some crackling in my audio at the end of the podcast - I think it's time for a new headset. Sorry about that, it should be addressed before we do another recording.

Industry Misinterpretations 187: Scratching the iPad Itch (2)

Sun, 09 May 2010 09:15:46 GMT

This week's podcast is part 2 of our conversation with John Maloney and John McIntosh about Scratch. In this segment, we delved into the issues surrounding Scratch's removal from the app store - suffice to say, it wasn't the new policies they ran afoul of, it was the existing ones (using an interpreter, having downloadable, executable content for the application itself).

Industry Misinterpretations 186: Scratching the iPad Itch (1)

Sun, 02 May 2010 11:53:20 GMT

This week's podcast is part one of our 2 part podcast with John Maloney, one of the members of the Scratch project at MIT, and John Mcintosh, the long time Smalltalker who's been developing the Squeak port to the iPod/iPhone/iPad. Recently, John's port ran into issues with Apple, and Scratch has been removed from the app store. As you'll find out in the podcast, that's not due to the new language restrictions - although those do raise a different bar. In any event, it was a fun podcast, and we learned a lot about Scratch, which is a great environment for teachin kids about software.
