Podcast Episode 3: Google Docs and Spreadsheets by Huw

GizBuzz PodcastThis is a really good interview, even if we say so ourselves! Peter and I interviewed Jen Mazzon and Sam Schillace, both formerly of Writely, and now part of the Google Docs and Spreadsheets team since Writely was acquired by Google and integrated with their Spreadsheets product. We’ve previously written lots about Writely and subsequently Docs and Spreadsheets, and its a really interesting product.

In the podcast we talk about:

who uses rich web applications, and who should be using them, what their future is, whether AJAX is sufficient as a technology for building web apps, and if there is an alternative, online office integration, the challenges of building web applications for different browsers, and whether it is getting better.

The interview will appeal to you whether you’re just starting to understand what rich web applications are or whether you’re a hardened user of RWAs. If you like this, you might also be interested in our interview with the Chief Architect of Zoho, a competitor with Google in this field, last August.
