Agile Development on the Bus Tour

July 9th, 2007 by Ryan Stewart

We started rolling at around 6:30 this morning and we’ve been learning a lot as we go (much like a typical startup). We got off to a good start with a lot of data connectivity while we were in San Francisco. Scoble was taking calls and we were talking with people. Then as we got further north the connectivity started getting sporadic and the video and audio seemed pretty jerky. We also don’t have a chat room to go along with the video so we tried a couple of duct-tape solutions but they aren’t working. It’s a shame because there are a lot of people twittering us about wanting to join in and chat.

So we’re working on adding features to the bus. Chat is the glaring omission but we’ve had requests for everything from a separate audio feed to multiple video streams. So far it’s been a fun experience and we really like the suggestions/comments so keep them coming. I just did an interview about AIR over on Download Squad, so if you’re looking for more info about AIR, check it out. And if you’re interested, you’re all more than welcome to come by one of our events and talk to the team and get into building AIR apps. A lot of us on the bus are building apps so you may even get to see some of the things we come up with.

    We had to leave something to build on the bus… ;)

    We are working on a couple of apps, and will show some sneaks at the Seattle event tomorrow.
