Discussion with Eric Holscher

with host Kevin Fricovsky

Eric Holscher is the creator of TestMaker, the automated test maker (hence the name) for your Django projects. On this, the first official TWiD callcast, we discuss his testing and debugging screencasts, how he got into Django, Test Driven Development, and DjangoCon.

Holscher is full-time Web Developer for MediaphorMedia (home of Ellington CMS and the house where Django was created). In the last month he’s been focusing on learning and teaching his testing and debugging techniques via various screencasts. We get into that and more in this 36 minute jam session.

Discussion with Jeff Croft

with host Kevin Fricovsky

Jeff Croft is a designer, author, conference speaker, programmer, web strategist, and well, a jack of all trades. He was one of the initial bloggers I followed when first digging into Django, and still follow to this day. He's apt at creating controversial blog posts, drawing both critique and praise for his musings. And he also is a great resource in blogging about tips and tricks regarding Django and design. After reading his latest post (not this one) I knew it would be a great time to have Jeff on and talk Django, design, mobile, djangocon, and a few other things. It runs about 30 minutes.

Discussion with Nathan Borror

with host Kevin Fricovsky

One of the reusable apps I see consistently mentioned in the djangosphere is basic-apps. The man behind the multi-app solution (blog, people, movies, books, profiles, music, places remarks, media, and inlines) is Nathan Borror, Interactive Art Director for LJWorld in Lawrence, Kansas — which just so happens to be the home where django was born. He's also responsible for the EveryBlock iconography, as well as a writing an excellent blog playgroundblues.com. We talked basic-apps, tumblog, blogging well, personal blogs, navigation, usability, minimalism, iconography, django and design, iphone, djangocon, django-nyc, python-nyc, django sprints, open sourcing your code, his flash mp3 player, and music. It's about 30 minutes long, enjoy!
