CFConversations Podcast #13: the Hal Helms Interview

Posted At : August 25, 2008 12:43 PM | Posted By : Brian
Related Categories: Podcasts, ColdFusion

For those folks who aren't regularly following the CFConversations podcast, the latest episode is an interview with Hal Helms.

I conducted the interview, but for the most part I stayed out of the way and let Hal do his thing, which is to speak thoughtfully and eloquently about ColdFusion, OO, and application development.
