This episode was recorded 22 May 2013 live and in person at Adobe’s offices in Fremont in Seattle.

John Nack is Principal Product Manager, Adobe Digital Video. He has a blog (definitely worth reading, especially if you use Photoshop) and is @jnack on Twitter.
This episode is sponsored by Microsoft Azure Mobile Services. One of the cooler features recently added is the ability to create custom APIs. Originally you were limited to standard operations on your database tables — but now you can design any API you want. This allows you to create a full REST/JSON API that’s tailored to your app, that works as efficiently as possible. (And it’s all in JavaScript. Mobile Services runs Node.js. Write your apps in your favorite text editor on your Mac.)
