Chris Catto’s Cloud Plumbing Interview
I’ve meet Ryan though .NET community events who is a graphic designer for Linxter. Linxter is a very successful cloud messaging company local in south Florida founded by a brilliant man by the name of Jason Milgram. Jason recently was asked to present about Linxter at the 2011 Microsoft MVP Summit. It’s one of the great success stories how Jason has founded such a good & growing company.
Ryan & I talk about software development from an interesting perspective in the episode. We also discuss Windows Phone 7 and the apps I’ve produced in the marketplace. We also discuss MovieTickets.com, the .NET community and some other area’s where I’m interested in. I’d like to thank Stephanie Helf the Marketing Manager at Linxter for helping organizing the episode along with a BIG thanks again to Ryan for having me on the show!
