Will the pressure of NSConference and tax returns be too much for Scotty. Will John’s soft tones and calming influence will be enough to cool Scotty’s processors and keep that hypnotic wheel of doom at bay. Maybe a chat with Nick Fletcher on the importance of a good press release, or the excitement of another MDN giveaway, will be enough to lighten Scotty’s load. You’ll simply have to listen to find out what happens in this weeks show.

Do indie developers have a heart? With the number involved with Indie Relief it’s a definite YES. Scotty re-writes American history, has a reasonably sensible discussion with Mike Abdullah on the URL Loading System and generally fumbles and stumbles his way through while John desperately tries to keep the show on track.

This week we consider how long can you leave your dirty laundry? How fit do you need to be to keep up with your kids? Along with parental tips and tricks from Scotty and John. Interspersed with interviews on MacworldExpo 2010, a lighthearted look at App Stores and another eBook give away, this weeks ‘Family Guy’ show is set to be another winner.

Scotty and John say a Happy New Year to all with this, the first MDN Show of 2010. This week it’s all about, “iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, everybody loves copy, cut and paste on the iPhone” and “GHUnit, GHUnit, GHUnit, everybody loves an open source unit testing framework”. Not sure what’s going on? Well all will become clear as Scotty and John lead us through another great show; reveal the winner of the first MDN Community Award; the lucky winner of a free place at this years NSConference and, give you not one, not two, but three opportunities to win an e-book from Pragmatic Programmers.

In this Christmas special of the MDN Show, Scotty and John are joined by; Mr Kevin Hoctor, Martin Pilkington, the one and only Danny Greg and security guru himself Mr Graham Lee. The guys chat through the highs and lows of 2009 and gaze into their looking glass as they offer their predictions for 2010.
