2 Devs from Down Under

Episode 29 - Back from the Summer

Listen Later
After nearly 4 months of "summer break" (yeah, right), we're back.
We actually managed to talk about a few really interesting things:
  • Conferences we attended this year (Mark: RubyConf AU, Kai: Webstock) and conferences either or both of us plan to attend. The latter is a rather long: PyCon AU, cfObjective, D2Wc, Strangeloop, CFCamp, Lambda Jam Brisbane and YOW! Melbourne.
  • Distributed Version Control - what's the future of Mercurial (looking at the vast success of Git) and what are the options to host Mercurial in-house after Kiln on premise doesn't seem to be actively sold anymore to new clients
  • IntelliJ 12.1 is out - what's new and which plugins have we experienced to work well/not that well yet?
  • Ruby/JRuby vs. Python/Jython - what's the story with some languages being very popular on the JVM and others not so much?
  • Some CFML-related news: Railo 4.1 beta is out there (and looks great), CF 10 is available on Amazon AWS (finally) and Adobe CF 11 alpha is coming soon.
  • Error tracking with Raygun.io and Mark's efforts in OpenGL and LWJGL.
    • Here are some more links:
    • Clojure Workshop before Lamba Jam in Brisbane
    • The "surprise" link for Bootstrap users (listen to the podcast first)
    • Kai's CFML provider for the Raygun.io error tracking system
      • If all goes according to plan we're back in two weeks. Have a great weekend!
