LaSalleMart NewsContinuous software development has arrived. Users either struggle to find your specific process to create their own software; or, become software consumers.

LaSalleMart Hangout: Continuous Development – You Need To Get a Piece of This ActionThe technology, techniques and programmer acceptance have come together and now it's time for us to get to it ourselves. The smart money is figuring out how the techniques work for them, as the technology is still in the early stage. The early adopters are going through the not-insignificant pain of figuring things out for themselves, because the money potential from being first adopters is enormously huge.
LaSalleMart Hangout: Moneyball and the Soul of ValueOur February Hangout Session with Zach Atkinson (MachineAndMagic.com), and Suzan Marie Chin (CreativeRaven.com) is not publishable. This is a quick summary of our chit-chat. 
The Moneyball of Joomla eCommerceSite owners, and consultants to those site owners, are in the technology business whether they like it or not. Taking upon themselves to create and maintain Joomla ecommerce technology for themselves, it's important to know where the real value resides, so efforts can focus on manifesting that value. That value resides outside of where conventional thinking would lead.
Inaugural LaSalleMart Hangout PodcastZach Atkinson (MachineAndMagic.com), Joe Sonne (JoeJoomla.com), and Suzan Marie Chin (CreativeRaven.com) join me today to talk about the philosophy behind LaSalleMart, creating simultaneous builds, the reseller idea, funding, and other topics.

Power, Hackerpreneur, Tienda, Tech Talk, NookuTienda is ready -- very ready. Tweet sweetly even in heat -- same with blogging -- for I love that technical talk! The way for users to capture the inherent power of Free Open Source Software is to join hackerpreneur clubs. Yes, I do care about the Nooku Framework! Nooku is now starting to focus on Change Management.
Why I am Not Using the Nooku FrameworkRight now, many Nooku Framework versions are used to build Joomla extensions, but only one NFW version is installable on a Joomla site. Since NFW versions are so different, an extension written with one NFW version will not work with other NFW versions. For me, this renders the Nooku Framework unusable.
Why I Came Home To Joomla & TiendaToday I talk to you about why I came home to Joomla ecommerce in general, and to Tienda in particular. The call to Magento was particularly strong.

Clubbing at Club CommerceOf all the nearly 60 podcasts I've produced since February 2010, this podcast is the most difficult I've put together. With a mountain of notes and over 50 takes, I know I have too much on my mind about my new Club Commerce. Why am I forming a Club of Clients, how am I going to run it, what are my objectives for you and me?
I've been doing Virtuemart consulting for five odd years. Three-quarters of my clients were fellow consultants; and, one-quarter were site owners bootstrapping their own sites.
With such unusual difficulty putting this podcast together, I've concluded that the best way for me to approach this podcast is to just speak from the heart, as a consultant.
My marketing may not be the greatest, my copywriting not the slickest, but so what? I'm going to help you make a ton of money with Tienda. Who needs slick? Let me just lay it out for you...
