The Polyglot Developer Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Ben Lesh, a senior software engineer at Netflix. Ben is one of the lead developers for RxJS, a reactive extension set for JavaScript, and a core component in the software stack at Netflix. Here we discuss everything from what is RxJS, to how it differs from common promises and callbacks in JavaScript. We also discuss who is using it and how it is playing a critical role in Angular 2.

In this episode I am joined by Jen Looper, a software developer and advocate for the Internet of Things (IoT).

In this episode I am joined by Nolan Lawson, one of the main contributors on the PouchDB open source project. We discuss everything from what is PouchDB, what does it do under the covers, what development platforms are supported, and what does it aim to accomplish that might have been particularly difficult with another tool. This episode is targeted towards web and mobile developers who include JavaScript as one of the core technologies in their stack because PouchDB is in fact a JavaScript wrapper.

I've personally used PouchDB in the past because it makes it incredibly easy to synchronize data with remote databases via a web or mobile application. If you're investigating sync solutions, Nolan and I have you covered in this episode.

In this episode I'm joined by TJ VanToll, Developer Advocate at Telerik, where we discuss the cross platform mobile development framework NativeScript. We cover everything from what is NativeScript, what do you need to start developing NativeScript applications, and how it differs or why you should use it versus native development or development with a different hybrid mobile framework. TJ talks about where things are headed when it comes to mobile development, who is using Telerik NativeScript to develop apps, and how Angular 2 fits into the framework. This is the most exciting episode yet on The Polyglot Developer Podcast and I recommend listening to it if you're interested in mobile application development, whether it be for personal or for your business.

In this episode I'm joined by a former colleague, and friend, William Hoang where we discuss a lot of jargon that comes up with modern software development. I've broken this episode into a few parts. We're going to discuss mobile first development, API first development, and offline first development and how you should choose between them when planning or developing an application.

In this episode I'm joined by two of my good friends Simon Reimler and Ray Camden where we discuss some of the software, tools and services available that can boost development and marketing productivity of your next big application. I've broken this episode into three main categories, being, tools used for planning before development or design, tools used for development and designing an application up to its release, and tools for maintaining and driving the success of an application after its been released. You'll get to know what we're using and how it might help you out in any of your development adventures.

In this episode I talk about my experience as a mobile developer and some of the native and hybrid apps that I've published to the various app stores like, but not limited to, Google Play and iTunes. As a developer that has used both native and hybrid for development, I discuss where I feel native mobile app development succeeds and also where it falls short, making room for hybrid technologies like Apache Cordova, Xamarin, and Telerik NativeScript.
