Leah Culver from Pownce at Future of Web Apps

Leah Culver from Pownce has posted her slides from the Future of Web Apps in London. I have embedded them below. I hope the Carson Systems gang posts her video as the slides alone lose the more important off-slide discussion. The discussion was titled, "Practical Lessons We Learned – Pownce".

Some commentary:

• Developed in 4 months with only one developer (Leah) – wow.
• Lots of open source usage – Sometimes I find this could be as bad as it can be good.
• Amazon S3 – Leah notes it’s cheaper and has been reliable so far
• Only one MySQL DB – this was a bit shocking – even just for redundancy
• "Expect anything" she says – and this is so right – no matter how much you plan, something will change your course
• Use version control – rollbacks are a good thing :)

Here are her slides:
