October 03, 201574: Shooting the Breeze
On this weeks episode we are lucky to finally be in the same room recording the podcast in person, apologies for the low volume.
We start off discussion with the Drobo, BeyondRAID, how hard giving estimates is, ‘bad’ code and impostor syndrome.
Following on from this is a brief history behind the Mozilla name and Netscape, along with how bullish Microsoft was in the 90’s.
This leads us on to talk about TDD coding katas, the current state of testing in JavaScript and Android fragmentation.
Finally, we finish up the show with Hypermedia endpoints (HAL), and epic Microsoft Office - El Capitan bugs.

September 17, 201573: PHP 7 Extension Development with Joe Watkins
In this episode we are lucky to be joined by good friend of the show Joe Watkins.
We start off the podcast discussing the recent major release of pthreads (version 3) and the differences found compared to version 2.
This moves us on to touch upon the design decisions made due to changes between PHP 5 and 7, providing a good API to the user, volatility and immutability considerations and installing extensions within PHP 7.
We finally bring up the progress being made in moving over other extensions such as APCu and uopz, helping out with other projects such as Xdebug and our delve into screencasting.

September 14, 201572: ReactJS, Flux and Screencasting
This week we start off discussion with the topic of CSRF and Session hijacking.
We then move on to the recently released screencasts we did with Joe Watkins, and how interesting Edd found recording them.
Following this we discuss ReactJS, the Flux architecture, handling error-logging on the front-end and the JavaScript source-maps.
We wrap up the show with the emphasis of removing jQuery, how hard following a single source of truth is and ‘dangerous’ design patterns.

July 27, 201571: Erlang and Clojure with Steven Proctor
This week we are very lucky to be joined by fellow podcaster and host of Functional Geekery - Steven Proctor.
We start off discussion with how he got into programming from a young age, and how a 100 dollar experiment turned into the Functional Geekery podcast we know today.
This moves us on to chat about Erlang/OTP and how the Actor model is used to provide such a robust language infrastructure.
Finally, we speak about how fundamental principles out-weigh concrete implementation knowledge and Proctor gives us a host of resource material for interested listeners to delve into.

July 05, 201570: Composer, Monolog and Symfony2 with Jordi Boggiano
This week we are joined by Jordi Boggiano, Composer (Dependency Manager for PHP) lead and Symfony2 core developer.
We begin discussion with how he got into software development, touching on his involvement with Symfony2 before its official release.
This topic leads us on to chat about why Composer was developed and how much it has grown in popularity.
Jordi then discusses some of the changes he would make if he had the chance, along with what the Toran Proxy is.
Finally, we discuss Composer performance and the popular Monolog package that he has developed.

June 30, 201569: Windows Development and Side-Projects with Jimmy Burrell
This week we are very lucky to be joined by long-time listener of the show Jimmy Burrell.
We start of discussion with interesting use-cases for monkey-patching in PHP and your responsibility to written code.
From this we move on to chat about HostSignalz, touching on Jimmy’s experience developing within Visual Studio and the Windows platform.
Jimmy then discusses his journey into software development and how he stays up-to-date with the latest technologies.
Finally, we announce the winner of the recent Space Beer Cave T-shirt competition and somehow get onto the topic of Michael Jordans career.

June 16, 201568: Podcasting, Remote Working and Testing with Adam Wathan
This week we are very lucky to be joined by fellow podcaster and host of Full Stack Radio - Adam Wathan.
We begin discussion with his reasons behind starting a podcast, experience being a solo-host and the secret to great podcast recordings.
We then move on to how he got into programming at high school - with reflection on that if he had been using a Windows machine at college, he would most likely be a .NET developer by now.
As both Edd and Adam work remotely at this time, the topic of remote pair-programming and Kanban style board implementations then arises.
Finally, we discuss his thoughts on Message-passing vs. strict-contracts, Smalltalk and Elixir exploration and how it is hard to give a definitive answer on the best way to begin learning TDD.

This week we are lucky to have good friend of Edd’s, Jason Marden on the show.
We start of discussion with how he got into programming (hacking on Flash games) and how we met at University studying for a Computer Science degree.
Moving on from this, we touch upon being introduced to Java as a first language, the presence of UML/SOAP in the real world and the importance of a white-board.
Finally, we wrap up the show with chat about Test Doubles, how his work provisions their AWS setup and advice to people looking into getting into the industry from University or another profession.

May 21, 201565: Design, Mobile and Education with Justin DeLucia
In this weeks show we are lucky to have good friend of the podcast, Justin DeLucia back on.
Although he is sadly only able to stay around for half the episode, we are able to touch upon some very interesting topics in this time.
Initially starting off with discussion on baby sleeping patterns, we move on to the role of the designer and how it is slowly changing.
We follow this up with Justin’s thoughts on animation within web design, and the trends he sees forming in 2015.
This leads us on to bring up the topic of mobile traffic, and how more and more users are relying on only an mobile experience.
Finally, we discuss Michael’s experiences throughout his first two years into a graduate masters degree, and how above all else learning takes precedence over grades.
