Peter Pistorius is the co-creator of RedwoodJS, the JavaScript application framework for startups, and the founder of Snaplet.

In this episode we discuss the history, development, and future of RedwoodJS.

Editor's Note: This episode was recorded over a year ago and kept in the vault because the audio is somewhat degraded relative to the average FSJam episode. But we are releasing it regardless because we believe the conversation is worthwhile for listeners that can tolerate the rougher sound quality.
