Devnology happened during a brief, wonderful moment in time (about 6 years) where diverse members of the software development community would come together once a month and learn and experiment and uncover new ways of developing software. I wish I could point to all the write-ups of these events but the website is alas no longer alive. As they say in Dutch – gelukkig hebben we de foto’s nog.

Also during that period we would interview software people for our podcast. People have asked if these are somewhere available, and I will pick a few from out back catalog and place them here – for want of a better location. Let me know if you have any favorites you’d like me to include.
