Interview with AlertThingy Creator Jeremy Baines

AlertThingy ScreenshotMike just posted an interview I did with Jeremy Baines of AlertThingy (Crunchbase) at our on AIR event in London. It’s a pretty short interview and what made it fun to do was the fact that the team from Howard/Baines (the company behind it) hadn’t ever built an AIR application before and didn’t originally plan on building an AIR application.

We also cover what their workflow was in creating the application. It’s all XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so there’s no Flash involved at all. One of my favorite quotes was “it takes longer to get a Thawte Certificate than it does to build an AIR app.”
