Collection of development related podcasts
So, additionally to the “not development related” podcasts, I’d like to present my podcast list that deals with my favourite topic: Software development
OnSoftware (Video + Audio)
http://www.informit.com/podcasts/index_rss.aspx?c=7
OnSoftware is one channel of InformIT. The casts are audio and video and deal with topics from Refactoring to trends in software development. I like the interviews with important persons in the software industry, for example Joshua Bloch that give you a pretty good insight why certain things are done in this way and not in another way in Java. This is my second favourite channel. (~5-30 min.)
Parleys.com
http://parleys.libsyn.com/rss
Parleys is pretty new in my channel list. It consists of many audio casts. They also have many video casts but they are only available via their website, because the use a system that has 2 video streams for talks, one for the speaker and one for the projector. This simply doesn’t work very well with plain podcast rss feeds. (~ 5-20 min.)
IT Conversations
http://feeds.conversationsnetwork.org/channel/itc
The guys from IT Conversations are producing several audio podcasts. Some are interviews and some are called StackOverFlow where they talk about the website-project and they answer questions from users regarding software development. (~15-50 min.)
YouTube :: Videos by googletechtalks
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/googletechtalks/videos.rss
The google techtalk channel offers really nice talks that deal with software development and some “normal” technology topics. There are for example talks about eclipse features where one of the developers talks about his project. This is my personal no. 1 channel. (~45-60 min)
UI and us (Added 11. Sep. 08)
http://uiandus.libsyn.com/rss
Userinterface design related casts. Pretty new feed. We’ll have to see if it’s really a good cast.
SE-Radio.net (Added 23. Sept. 08)
http://feeds.feedburner.com/se-radio
Software engineering (audio) podcasts. Audio quality seems to be much better than the parleys quality. Also the most guys come from germany, so I can understand their accent much better than the parleys guys accent, which seem to be located in belgium. The casts consist of interviews with certain qualified people about SOA, Agile development, patterns etc. As far as I have heard some of the casts, they are really interesting. Definitively worth a try!
PM-Podcast (Added 17. Oct. 2007)
http://podcast.mikrotechnik.net/?feed=podcast
German Audio-Podcast that deals with project management. (Starting to catch up on this feed now)

The Sun Channels are obviously all centred around java. There are a lot of channels available. These are only a small part of it. The interesting stuff is for me for example the JavaOne channel, where you can watch a lot of the talks from javaOne 2008 and 2007(which has it’s own channel). Also there are a lot of small casts that are useful to get an overview about the technologies that evolve around java. You should not expect a “howto build a XAZ application” here. The feeds that I am checking have not changed in the last months, so this can be considered as “not very active”. ;-) (~5-50 min)
These are my favourite podcasts. You can add them all for example to Miro, and watch/hear them there. Do you know any development podcasts that you like? Post them in the comments and I’ll add them here.
