The Media Center Show #126 – Nial Ginsbourg

Tongue Out

This week up, Ian’s got Nial Ginsbourg (pronounced like the river Nile ) up for interview. If you’ve ever seen the "BigScreen" applications and wondered in amazement how he makes such cool MCML apps….well, keep wondering. But at least you can listen to the aussie speak a little about the development world.
