To answer the question from last week, this is precisely the kind of topics I want to see covered in the podcast. Looking forward to listening on my drive home tonight.

I love the book Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans. Great podcast!

I can’t currently listen to this as the link returns a ‘High security alert!!!’ not permitted type response.

@a_musing_moose, which link is returning that message?

The ‘Download MP3 ’ right at the top and the inline player also fails as it cannot retrieve the MP3 for S3.

Great insight from Ryan. However, I was a little disappointed that Ryan did not talk about Steven Krug after Matt mentioned Evans, Tufte and Krug. I personally think Krug’s “Don’t make me think” should be required reading for anyone doing web design work.

@a_musing_moose, unable to replicate that issue. Plays fine here. Could it be an issue on your end?
@Bryan, Ryan did touch on Krug but it was only brief so we wound up editing that part out. Ryan posted about this Krug video before too.

Hey Matt, I somehow missed Ryan’s post from last month, sorry about that. Glad to see Ryan (and others) find Steve’s work to be valuable as well. Thanks!
