Devnology Podcast 035 - Cloud9

Devnology Podcast

Episode 35 features an interview with Ruben Daniels and Jan Jongboom from Cloud9. They tell us all about the development of Cloud9IDE, the online development environment using Javascript and Node.js. We talk about how they are building a company around this idea, and about the technical choices and challenges that have come with it. In this interview we finally learned why it makes sense to write server-side javascript!
