Software Podcasts

I have been redecorating the house the last couple of days. Wielding a paintbrush only requires about 5% of my brain cycles, so I have been using the excess capacity to listen to podcasts from Software Engineering Radio and IT Conversations Network.

Currently Software Engineering Radio has 102 podcasts, on topics as diverse as game development , Erlang, static analysis and LISP [1]. IT Conversations is even more diverse. They are a great way to keep up to date, especially if you have a long commute.

[1] Don’t miss the weird bonus song at the end: “God wrote in LISP”.

Business of Software FAQ

As a regular on FogCreek’s Business of Software forum I see the same questions come up time and again.

  • How do I do SEO?
  • How do I improve my return on Adwords?
  • Which hosting company should I use?
  • Which payment processor should I use?
  • etc.

So I have quickly thrown together a BOS FAQ page in an attempt to raise the level of debate. Hopefully other people will add it to it. Even if you don’t read the forum you might find some of the links useful.
