Special guest and a special guest host this week. We are proud to have the amazingly productive Jeremy Ashkenas from DocumentCloud on JSConf Live. He provides some amazingly deep technical insight into Underscore, CoffeeScript, and Docco. The dialogue includes a great section about the Literate Programming concept as exemplified in Docco that should be a must listen for all developers. This week we are happy to have Ken Henderson as our special guest host to help out with this interview.
