Justin, Jason and panel guests Sébastien Arnaud and Samuel Clay discuss the status of Sébastien’s game AI framework – Cerebro, the AI behind News Blur, the News Blur business model, Open Calais, Game Center and how Titanium does not actually compile to native code, Coffee Script, Backbone.js, Underscore.js, Node.js, Couch DB, Gabriel Weinberg’s recent PR coup, homeschooling and unschooling, the prospect of cloning a Woolly Mammoth and the latest in Justin’s dental adventures.
That’s just works. I’m really enjoying panel episodes, although it feels like you should make them longer!
on a different note,
@Justin do you remember it which episode you explain how the recording of the podcast works?
I’m specially interested in who’s recording, each one his own talk and then you combine them, or you have a software that records Skype’s conversation?
@Udi – Hopefully this helps! http://justinvincent.com/page/1127/how-we-record-techzing
Yes! Thank you!
Strangely I had thought I was under the misconception that Titanium ran the Javascript in a Javascript Engine. I guess I was wrong about that
I very much enjoyed the tech part about CouchDB and NodeJS.
On the topic of enhancements to the Javascript language Brendan Eich has an interesting post on ECMAScript Harmony.
And similar to Backbone, there is another very interesting framework called Knockout JS by Steve Sanderson who was as a result recently hired by … Microsoft (so I suspect we will see more coverage on it as times goes by). It facilitates the separation of rich JS browser-based “views” and their “view model”, can leverage jQuery Templates and provides a powerful event/dependency mechanism. I am currently using it on an enterprise project to create a JS-based financial calculator.
Good timing! I was just thinking the other day that its been a while since I heard Swarm being discussed. Shall listen to this shortly
Does Sébastien Arnaud has a web site or a blog?
@Frederic Torres – No he doesn’t, but he needs to put one up I think. Of course, it took me like 6 years to get around to finally putting one up myself, so who am I to talk.
