In fact I think you’re lucky to be involved in a project with such good coders contributing – you must be learning stack loads!

All the best.

We have also seen our excellent development team growing - its nice to see the project becoming self sustaining. As I previously blogged about, I have stepped away from the coding side, and I am pleased to see the slack taken up with these extra developers. Welcome to the team chaps!

I hope it feels as good as it looks! (...did that sound a bit wrong?) I must try it out next time I'm in Ubuntu, and I wish the project the best for the future!</p> I haven’t used Jokosher at all but I must say the screenshots are impressive!

For you book buyers, I should clarify that the code in the book is good - I am a much better PHP coder than GUI desktop coder. :)</p> Thanks for the kind words.

Jono is a founder of the excellent Jokosher project (a brilliant multi-track studio application), and if you read the post you will notice that Jono is not sticking with the part he enjoys the most, he is sticking with the part where he makes the most meaningful contribution. That kind of candor is amazing.
