When I read an email
sent to an Apache Software Foundation mailing list suggesting an open source project for
OpenSocial, I wasn't surprised to see it come from Brian McCallister, a prolific open source
developer that I met years ago in a former life.
Brian McCallister now
works at Ning, the social network outsourcer, and sat down to talk to me about topics
revolving around Ning, OpenSocial, and Apache Shindig.
What will you
learn from this chat?
What Ning is all
about
Why Ning and Brian think about OpenSocial, and why developers should
be interested
The parts and pieces of OpenSocial from the standpoint of a
developer, and a third party container
How Brian thinks that we will get
more than just "Write one, learn everywhere"
What Apache Shindig is all
about
How Shindig allows you to do simple local development, which changes
the game with respect to your development lifecycle
