A Bigfoot Impression

This episode had us diving into the real-time web withNathan Fritz, the Chief Architect for&yet, and the man who has foolishly agreed to help Chris
learn the finer points ofNode.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 episodeEngine Yard. Don’t worry, we’ll spend your sponsorship
money wisely.
