Episode 29 - Back from the Summer

After nearly 4 months of "summer break" (yeah, right), we're back.

We actually managed to talk about a few really interesting things:

Conferences we attended this year (Mark: RubyConf AU, Kai: Webstock) and conferences either or both of us plan to attend. The latter is a rather long: PyCon AU, cfObjective, D2Wc, Strangeloop, CFCamp, Lambda Jam Brisbane and YOW! Melbourne.
Distributed Version Control - what's the future of Mercurial (looking at the vast success of Git) and what are the options to host Mercurial in-house after Kiln on premise doesn't seem to be actively sold anymore to new clients
IntelliJ 12.1 is out - what's new and which plugins have we experienced to work well/not that well yet?
Ruby/JRuby vs. Python/Jython - what's the story with some languages being very popular on the JVM and others not so much?
Some CFML-related news: Railo 4.1 beta is out there (and looks great), CF 10 is available on Amazon AWS (finally) and Adobe CF 11 alpha is coming soon.
Error tracking with Raygun.io and Mark's efforts in OpenGL and LWJGL.

Here are some more links:

Clojure Workshop before Lamba Jam in Brisbane
The "surprise" link for Bootstrap users (listen to the podcast first)
Kai's CFML provider for the Raygun.io error tracking system

If all goes according to plan we're back in two weeks. Have a great weekend!
