Q & A

25:30 I’ve noticed that the in-app browsers for Twitter and Facebook often display websites differently than other mobile browsers. Have you ever experienced this issue?
49:00 I’ve been using Filezilla for ftp for years and yesterday I read a story on slashdot that people who use it are having their passwords stolen and that there was a new version out called Filezilla secure.
54:45 How do you draw the line when researching new technology, tools and features in Web Development?
