Coder Radio

After Mike gets a few things off his chest, we dive into the most developer relevant announcements & news from Apple’s WWDC 2017.

The open source model has won, we discuss the impact that’s having on the development industry. Plus Swift gets a little more interesting, & Chris is ready for his lady in a tube!

The “process manager from hell” is driving our listener crazy! We have advice that’s a little unconventional. Then we discuss the slow demolition of the culture of youth taking place in tech, that could be shifting everything.

Plus Microsoft’s huge Git commit, Quick Designer in Qt Creator 4.3 & some follow up on Kotlin.

Mike argues you should go hybrid today & end up progressive tomorrow. The Docker reality & why Swift is a bit like Kotlin.

Speaking of Kotlin we chat a bit about the Google I/O news, Project Treble, Xamarin’s Live Player & Mike’s new rig.

Getting fined for doing math without a license, Windows 10 S goes app store only, a Coder community project goes into production & Chris learns a hard lesson about his tools!

After digging into some rather tempting Hoopla, Mike shares his clever solution to one of Docker’s bigger problems & manages to motivate Chris into trying it out during the show.

Plus thoughts on continuing your coding education, stories of past exams gone wrong & more!

Mike is betting big on Docker, Angular has a new release, JavaScript is taking the lead & Uber is playing with fire.

It’s a packed episode & wraps up with the bombshell that Mike is selling his new MacBook.

Habitat promises full automation that travels with app. Basically it's a great way to have an extremely lightweight "environment + your app" (hence the name) that has everything you need except the OS or OS related bits. But is this a layer of abstraction too far for Mike?

Plus the chronicles of one developer's journey of getting started with Open Source, some cool dark matter development Chris spotted at Dell & more!

Wes from Linux Unplugged joins Mike to host a special edition of the show. They chat about the merits (or not!) of Electron, Mike’s week from hell & their true feelings about Javascript. Then they discuss Clojurescript, React Native, & the benefits of a more functional programming style.

Plus Docker, Devops & of course the Beer of the Week!

Tune in for a special road edition of the show today! After Mike & Chris cover some feedback, they share their worst hire stories, eat some Apple crow & debate the end of the exodus.

Plus Chris shares some surprisingly topical experiences from his Dell trip, Mike’s got a tool of the week & Jonny’s feeling the hero rage.
