Mid 2010 Podcast List
Jun 30th
it’s time to update my podcast list some shows are RIP and some new came to light. so without further ado my mid 2010 podcast list .
This time i grouped them by interest . some have fixed amount of episodes and some reoccur weekly . there are some hebrew podcasts in the list as well , I left the name and notes in hebrew.
.NET
Hanselminutes - “is a weekly audio talk show with noted web developer and technologist Scott Hanselman. Scott discusses utilities and tools, gives practical how-to advice, and discusses ASP.NET or Windows issues and workarounds.”
.NET Rocks! -” is a weekly talk show for anyone interested in programming on the Microsoft .NET platform. The shows range from introductory information to hardcore geekiness.”
Deep Fried Bytes – “The show discusses a wide range of topics including application development, operating systems and technology in general. Anything is fair game if it plugs into the wall or takes a battery.” they are .NET centric and focus on mainstream development.
Alt.NET
i’m not sure if Alt.NET is the correct way to call the following section maybe .net with balls is more at it ….. they push the envelope
Herding Code – “Herding Code is a weekly podcast with K. Scott Allen, Kevin Dente, Scott Koon, and Jon Galloway.” it’s the show with most hosts at once i hear but what can I say when it works it just works.
The Thirsty Developer – “A podcast with Microsoft Developer Evangelist, Dave Bost and Clark Sell” They bring top guests and talk about interesting topics.
Flex / AS3
The Flex Show – Everything Flex and AS3 sadly that’s the only one I found …
Open source / Versatile technology
The Changelog – very new very cool show about open source , I hope it will last.
Software Engineering Radio – “Software Engineering Radio is a podcast targeted at the professional software developer. The goal is to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast”
Hacker Medley – ” is a short podcast for curious hackers. Our goal is to talk about the cool things we’ve learned that we love explaining to our friends.”
WebDevRadio.com – web development podcast – “News, views and issues for the web developer”
Tech / inspiration
WNYC’s Radiolab – if nothing else at least you owe it to yourself to subscribe to this one.

Human-Computer Interaction Seminar
Web 2.0 Session at NDS
Nov 30th
Hi NDS architects,
Thanks for joining my web 2.0 seminar, I had a great time and hope you did as well.
You can find most of the presentation content in hebrew at my hebrew blog, seminar slides are linked bellow.
Session 1 – What is web 2.0 ?(pdf)
Session 2 – Software as a service (pdf)
Session 4 – Framework and tools (pdf)
I’ll end with some questions I didn’t know or didn’t have the time to elaborate on:
How effective are google ad words?
You can find info at AdWords site success stories section though it’s not exactly impartial , general statistics about online advertising and ROI can be found in grabstats which also includes links to the original reports.
Where can I find firefox & add-ins ?
Remote Control (STB development)
Can Hadoop or F# parallelize my algorithms automatically ?
This question is divided into several parts :
1. Frameworks Hadoop and frameworks alike are prone to work in parallel but you (as the system architect or developer) need to identify the part that can be parallelized and pass it to the framework with the map and reduce functions
2. Languages F#, Scala and other functional languages parallelize your code automatically.
3. Functional constructs PLINQ and other functional constructs inside non funcional languages are not parallel by default, when they support parallel computation it’s usually with using an implicit directive such as myWorker.AsParallel = true;
What’s Yahoo WDK ?
Yahoo’s WDK is a widget development kit , what are widgets ? widgets are mini applications that are floating on your O/S desktop (in Windows they are called gadgets) you can see UI different examples in the following links mac dashboard ,windows gadgets, yahoo widgets. Widgets are very similar in nature to mashups (discussed in session 3) since they usually interact with an existing online service and have no data or logic of their own. Back to WDK , WDK lets you develop widgets running on Yahoo’s runtime (which needs to be installed on the customer’s machine), it uses a familiar development UI Pattern of XML layout language and Javascript for interaction. Yahoo widgets can run on PC or TV devices though I haven’t come across an IPTV STB that runs WDK. You can read more about WDK at yahoo tv developers or review the development manual for code examples.
Thanks again for a great session,
daniel.
