Hello!

How are we all this week? Well unfortunately we begin today on a bad note, there was no lecture today, but fear not! I have looked over the lecture criteria for this week so here is an over view of what I have learnt, be warned though it is only an overview but I have provided several links for you to follow should you wish to find out more;

This week was going to be about Podcasting and software garden.
Here are definitions of what the two of them are (I hope);

Pod cast = the word Pod cast is made up of the words broadcasting and iPod. It is an application whereby iPod users can download chosen audio or video content over the Internet and stream it to your iPod or computer to listen to or watch. It can be distributed worldwide. It is cheap to create because for an audio all you need is a microphone and Internet connection and can reach those ho wish to share it with you.

Software Garden = Was founded by Dan Bricklin in 1985 and he develops and markets his own software tools providing consulting services in conjunction with his developments primarily performed by him. Bricklin provides new innovations and participates in the software industry directly. He also creates pod casts which would be relevant to the business industry providing information for a niche market who wish to gain knowledge about software licensing and open source providing information at an in depth practical level.
