I’m pretty excited about three great events:

There is a rumor that we might record a Drunk on Software episode after the event on Thursday. Apparently there are some people who disagree with my definition of “Flex app”. This could be the episode where we move from an Oprah style show to a Jerry Springer style of show. Sounds like fun to me. :)

Jon and Chet seem to think I fell asleep during the episode. Personally I think that I was temporarily abducted by some angry aliens that don’t like humans who wear bear hats. Hmmm.. Like the episode that makes no sense. So grab your favorite adult beverage (if you are of legal age) and enjoy!

Devoxx is typically held at the coldest, most miserable time of year to allow attendees to concentrate on the most important thing: Belgian Beer. Drunk on Software’s, Chet Haase, was at the conference this year, talking to various people in bars, in restaurants, and in bars about what they were interested in drinking, er, enjoying at the conference this year.

And there at Casa Bonita amongst happy children and cliff divers, Episode 14 came to be. I’m not sure if it was the margaritas, my pink feather boa, or the ambiance of Casa Bonita but this one was really fun. So grab a marg, sit back, and drift to that happy place – it’s Drunk on Software at Casa Bonita!

And please don’t forget… You can drink and code but never, ever, ever drink and drive.

In the latest episode of Drunk on Software Jon Rose and I sit down with Matt, have a few beers, and talk geek stuff. Matt has a lot of great insight into where software is going. In the video we asked him what the future looks like for web frameworks. Matt’s response brought into question the future of component frameworks. Jon and I were pretty surprised by his response. You will have to watch the video to get the whole story. :) Let us know what you think.
