Null Pointers

Microsoft Build has traditionally been the place where all new shiny things for developers get announced. And while this year's edition was a bit more Azure heavy, we still managed to find a few nuggets of information that we'd love to share.

Documenting what you're building is one of those things that isn't every developers favorite activity. However, doing so helps everyone from yourself to the people who might take over your project in the future. Today we talk about why that is and what you can do to help people.

Universal Windows Platform (or UWP) is an interesting platform with a lot of potential. Yet, for some reason it doesn't really take off, at least not for cross-platform developers. In this episode we talk about what is up with UWP, a bit of history, some hopes for the future... It's all in here and more!

In this episode, we leave the wired space and talk about connecting devices and sending information through thin air. So get ready to hear all about WiFi, Bluetooth, BLE, Airtags and more.

Things used to be better when we were growing up, but is that truly the case? In this episode we'll be looking at old tech that isn't around anymore to see if our memories might be a bit clouded!

Hooray! Episode 50! Normal people would probably wait until 52, but we like round numbers, deal with it. For this special episode we talk all about our experience so far. What do we love, what do we hate and how do we do it.

Authenticating a user is often more than meets the user's eye. In this episode, we discuss the challenges, options and our experiences with said topic. We dive into some OAuth, do our best to pronounce Auth0 and discover the passcode to Geralds top-secret studio vault.

The IDE is your friend, or at least we assume it is. It's where your spending most of your time as a developer, most likely. In this episode we discuss our first memories of them, our favorites and things we don't like about them.

Tune in while we talk all about object relational mappers. OK, mostly Entity Framework because of the .NET developers we are. But also we touch on Dapper, document databases, our migration nightmares and even Steven and Gerald's mothers... Now if that doesn't convince you to listen I don't know what will!

In this weeks pod Mark, Steven and Gerald discuss becoming a Generalist or a Specialist. What pays more? What are the pros and cons? Oh and of course Ts are discussed. So tune in and enjoy this special episode in a general sense.
