Hampton on MobileOrchard Podcast
posted by pete on October 23rd, 2008
MobileOrchard is an awesome new site for iPhone and Android application developers. (In fact, they have a great screencast which gives an overview of Android for iPhone developers you should check out.) It’s run by RubyFringe speaker Dan Grigsby and the prolific Peter Cooper of RubyInside fame.
The first episode of their new podcast went live today, and it’s an interview with none other than our very own Hampton Catlin. If you’re just tuning in now, Hampton is the creator of the popular Haml template engine, the make_resourceful gem, and most recently he created iWik (now iPedia) which has become one of the most popular paid applications on the iTunes Music Store, selling over 50,000 copies to date.
Hampton talks about creating an iPhone app on a whim in three days, the advantages of server side processing, ITMS processing delays, and how it makes sense to wrap up a Safari instance as an application.
