Great new podcast from the guys behind the old ColdFusion Weekly
Welcome to the premiere episode of Deductive Developers, a new podcast by Peter J. Farrell and Matt Woodward, formerly of ColdFusion Weekly fame.
In this episode we talk a bit about why we're starting a new podcast and what we're going to cover, and we talk a bit about OpenCF Summit which is coming up on February 24 - 26 in Dallas, TX.
Some differences between this and CF Weekly:
- We aren't committing to doing this weekly necessarily
- Shorter episodes (15 - 30 minutes)
- Not focused exclusively on CFML-related topics
- More conversational, less strict format
Obligatory first episode quality excuses -- my aging Logitech headset was making a small banging noise as the cord moved but hopefully it's not too distracting. I'll use a different setup for the next episode.
Feedback is very welcomed! You can reach us in the following ways:
- email deductivedevelopers@maepub.com
- @deductivedevs on Twitter and identi.ca
- Deductive Developers page on Google+
We'll get the podcast added to the iTunes directory soon but in the mean time you can use the FeedBurner RSS URL to subscribe: http://feeds.feedburner.com/deductivedevelopers/kHbZ
Let us know what you think!

Is climate change education the new evolution?
NCSE expects this task to be much harder than fighting creationism. "The forces arrayed against climate science are more numerous and much better funded," Scott says, and are better able to get their message across in the mainstream media than creationism supporters. Organizations such as the Heartland Institute, which questions whether humans cause climate change, send out free educational materials to teachers and school boards. As Science reported in September, teachers who already struggle with small science budgets and little time for teaching have no time to fend off ideological attacks from students, parents, and administrators.
