		<itunes:summary>This is show #2 of the Development Podcast. The search for a name that is not completely lame is on, and I am continuing my education in the art of podcasting.  Along with software development, music and technology, I have a related interest, even passion, for audio recording and production technologies, which is part of my motivation for podcasting—combine things I love to do and work with, and talk about them.

That said, this week we discuss technologies that I will be focusing on this year and why they are important or relevant.  These technologies include:

Web/Internet Development 

	HTML5
CSS3

Functional Programming

F#
Haskell
OCaml
Lisp

Mobile/Device Development

Android
