Developer Diary #5

On this week’s developer chat: benchmarking, release status and PHP5-only support.

This week I present you with a new podcast and a new sneak peek video.

Benchmarking is hard work

On this podcast we talked about:

Podcast quality

Whilst I think the audio quality of the podcasts have improved, our resident audio guru, Scott wasn’t available today to help tweak audio settings. We used 2 microphones and feedback is noticeable across tracks and this is something we’ll look into improving for consequent podcasts.

Discussion

Have you had experience with application benchmarking and stress-testing? Share your insight and experience with us!

Oodles of noodles!

But great podcast, and thanks for the new screencast! I’m really looking forward to Sym … uh oh, 8 letter restriction … um … That-wonderful-xslt-driven-cms v2.0!

(I’m not too good at this word game, am I?)

Oodles of thanks! Allen the podcast sounds great and the sneak peek at S2’s way of working with outside XML feeds is really amazing! The sneak peaks are a great way to feed the people with noodles before they experience they main feast of S2.

Oodles of page hits on the forums (by me) could have been cut down if I’d just tuned in to this. Obviously I finally gave up and tuned in, despite my strict no-podcast policy.

Good news mainly, I was on guard waiting for the usual delays encountered when a release is being made. Good sound quality too, though I swear I heard a packet of instant noodles being opened at one point.

Oodles of greatness here! Your podcast looks good, might think of subscribing soon. Also, I love the design of the site, it somehow reminds me of noodles …..
