DEVELOPER PODCAST: How Do We Set Up Our Sites

So we have decided to take the Whiskey Developer Podcast (The Speakeasy) in a new direction. In the upcoming podcasts (and related blog posts) we'll be talking more about code and the tools and tricks we're using to help us build our sites. Along with each podcast, we'll be publishing code snippets and examples to help listeners follow along and hopefully use/discuss the code we're releasing. The goal being, to give the community a deeper understanding of the technology we use to build our sites and to help budding developers grow

I am far to retarded to do anything remotely close to what you accomplish, but I will give the podcasrt a listen :)

Kewl!  I'm downloading it now. 

Thanks and grats on #2! :)

Hey buddy, pretty cool podcast! Maybe you taking notes on the Giant Bombcast has been paying off? Hahah.

Is there a chance these could become available on iTunes?

Cool. New podcast. I like these dev casts.

As someone who is currently learning C and Python - this is totally awesome. You rock Coonce!

Glad you guys are pissed off with Django's lack of a migration framework. I can't tell you how much that annoys me, and the fact that they're not even thinking about implementing one frustrates me even more. Hopefully we'll hear about something when 1.1 is finally behind us.

Will that achievement thing work with trophies for PS3?

"Will that achievement thing work with trophies for PS3? "

Ahh, so it was PIL that you used after all. I love PIL and quite a lot of the programs I make use it in one way or another.

You guys mention Ruby on Rails... why didn't you choose it instead of Django?

Thanks for the answer. I really like the "more technical" direction the podcast is taking, and love the code examples, too. I was wondering about the database model for your sites, as I think I will have to imitate it somewhat for one of my programs (that uses both the API and web scraping for things I can't get through the API), but using sqlalchemy. Maybe in the summer I can actually work on that part. ^_^;

New sites are mentioned... and I was thinking: aren't you guys afraid of "spreading yourselves too thin"? How much more "attention" is needed from you guys when a new site comes up (I mean after the initial launch phase)? The code base is the same, but each site has its differences that may require bug fixing from time to time, and new major features may be needed (such as the Achievements, I guess) than don't work well (or at all) on multiple sites. The "editorial staff" will handle the content side, I guess, but the editorial staff is small, too, so things like deleting wiki pages (that only the staff can make) take a long time (it is really bad at AV). Are delegating these kind of things to mods being considered or is this the editorial staff's decision to make?

For some reason I just realized this was here.  I'll listen to it today!

Downloading now. The last one was great so I'm looking forward to this one.

Oh yeah, gotta remember to listen to this.

I don't know how in the world I didn't notice this when it came out, but I'm downloading the two podcasts right now...this should be good.   
 
Also, since this happened quite a bit ago, I guess Sean nipped it in the bud.  Thats too bad, info on what goes on behind the doors of my favorite website is always a plus.

How have I not seen this until now? o_O

Huh, well this looks interesting.

Wow, were there any more to these?

Wow, I've never heard these. I've never used python or any of those languages. It would be interesting to hear more. COONCE!

Very cool. This gives me a reason to get back to my web design roots after some long days analyzing beer data.

" Wow, were there any more to these? "

This is a great idea and will help people who are building new websites.

I can't believe this came out a year ago. I totally failed to notice it at the time.

Would love to have another one of these. Seeing as 2 more whiskey sites have launched in the last year. Would be interesting to see how they went about doing screeneds coding

Forgot about these. These were good! More should be made.

Should be interesting for a beginner programmer like myself. Also, I know this probably isn't the right place to ask but have you guys checked out the bug reporting forums? There's lots of stuff that needs fixing...

Didn't see this thread the first time. 
Petition for more of these podcasts :D
The podcast name makes even more sense now that Whiskey Media has its own bar.

nice! 
i'm pretty much at a basic level and i loved this podcast , i would love some more episodes :)

" Is there a chance these could become available on iTunes? "

Awesome. But really need RSS feed for this beast so I can put it in Google Reader.

" @coonce:  Thanks for these anyway. :) How much has the general site structure changed since you put this up? "

" @coonce:   Speakeasy Reunion?  "

Nerds!
