This is a 2010 Microsoft Channel9 video featuring myself and Chris Wilson talking about ECMAScript 5 and its support in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9. It’s about 40 minutes in length and I ended up doing most of the talking. Both Chris and I left Microsoft shortly after this so I suppose this was our last official gig as as Microsoft spokesgeeks.
Chat with Dan Ingalls on Smalltalk, Lively Kernel, JavaScript etc.

This is a Microsoft Channel9 video of a long chat (72 minutes) I had with Dan Ingalls in 2008. Dan built the earliest Smalltalk implementations for Alan Kay and was responsible for many innovations including the invention of the BitBLT graphics operator and popup menus.. More recently he has been developing the Lively Kernel. A Smalltalk-like development environment hosted in JavaScript. We talked about the history of Smalltalk, our common experiences as Smalltalk implementors, JavaScript, the future of Web-based computing,etc.
Chat with Jon Udell about History of Smalltalk
The audio file is no longer available from its original site but the MP3 can be download with this link.
This is a 2007 audio only conversation where I talk about the the history and impact of Smalltalk. Particularly about the Tektronix/Instantiations/Digitalk part of the Smalltalk story. I don’t recall everything we talked about but I sure there is lots of interesting details for programming language history buffs.
