Episode 9: I Was Really Into Bigfoot When I Was A Kid

This episode had us diving into the real-time web with Nathan
Fritz, the Chief Architect for &yet, and the man who has
foolishly agreed to help Chris learn the finer points of Node.js.
You can just hear the excitement in all our voices as we discuss
Web 3.14159 aka the Real Time Web. Nathan is one smart
motherfucker so be prepared to have lots of knowledge exploded
into your brain.


Nathan also discusses his previous life as a PHP guy, what XMPP
is all about, and his book-in-progress on Lua scripting in Redis.


Thanks again to our awesome sponsor for this episode Engine Yard.
Don’t worry, we’ll spend your sponsorship money wisely.

Chris directly.
