              • 017 - I Think “It Depends”: Clean Architecture (Part 2)

                We’re back with part two of our inaugural Torqd book club; discussing Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin’s “Clean Architecture” with Colin DeCarlo, Brad Brothers, and Lucas Gladding. This time, we’re starting from the beginning of the book, diving into the SOLID acronym, dissecting the principles behind it, and debating when and how to put new lessons from a book into daily practice.

                If you haven’t read the book, it might be a good idea to give it at least a skim before listening to this episode. Heck, we’d argue that it’s worth reading for your career alone, whether or not you listen to Torqd! We got so much from it that we broke our discussion into a two-parter. You can listen to part one right here: https://goo.gl/CRjYbi

                  • 016 - Back to the Book: Clean Architecture (Part 1)

                    Gather ‘round for the inaugural Torqd book club. For our first entry, we’re looking at “Clean Architecture” by Robert “Uncle Bob” Martin. With guests Colin DeCarlo, Brad Brothers, and Lucas Gladding, we’ll explore some of the larger concepts covered in the book (dependency inversion, plugin architecture, design patterns, tech debt) and hit on a few of our guests’ favourite parts.

                    If you haven’t read the book, it might be a good idea to give it at least a skim before listening to this episode.

                                  • 012 - Batteries Included: Vue In Practice

                                    With VueConf US approaching, we’re looking at our experiences with Vue in production. Returning guest Colin DeCarlo and new-to-the-show guest Brian Hogg sit down with Dan and Margaret for an overVue.

                                    From bare bones usage as data-binding jQuery replacement, through enhancing existing environments without damaging the goods, to building out a ground-up SPA, Vue is useful for any project our guests (and Dan) have thrown at it.
