Summit - The Future of Web Apps podcasts.

Carson Worshops have put up free podcasts of the main talks given by Joshua Schachter (Delicious), Cal Henderson (Flickr), Shaun Inman (Mint), Tom Coates (Yahoo!) et al. at the The Future Of Web Apps Summit in London a few weeks ago. Joshua Schachter in particular gave a fantastic talk on “things he learned while building del.icio.us”. Lots of practical infrastructure advice and some great interface design advice too. I’ve always considered del.icio.us to have a “nice-but-dim” interface - this talk verifies that this simple interface is the very reason why it suceeded when many others failed.

Anyone who is looking to produce software services (yes, even SOAs) could do worse than soak some of this stuff in. (hint: associated summit notes, wiki, roundup)
