Next show will be on Prolog, coming this weekend.

Hey all!

We planned on doing a show today but Patrick unfortunately came down with a bad flu and is out of commission. As soon as he is better and able to record the show, we will be covering Prolog, which is a truly unique language.

Stay tuned!!

Podcast hits 25,000 downloads!

Today the podcast has hit 25,000 downloads, which is an awesome milestone! Thanks to everyone for listening and writing in with your feedback and suggestions.

We got an email from Weston asking us to cover Objective-C, which is a great idea because it is the #1 language for iOS development. Patrick is on vacation this week, so the show might slip to next week. We might be crazy and record the show from his hotel room. Help Patrick be a workaholic, and stay tuned!
