    Ktor, Logging Ideas, and Plugin Safety

Here, in the twilight of the workday, they exchange eerie tales of programming glitches, security breaches, and asynchronous calls. Welcome to the Programming Zone, where reality blurs and (silent) keystrokes echo in the depths […]

Great Dev Podcast

Great dev podcast where the guys talk about interesting and complex topics with humour and clarity. Good to keep up with C# and .Net news and techniques.

Favourite Tech Podcast

This is my personal Favourite Programming podcast. The guys are great for providing real advice and best practices on many programming problems.
As a young programmer still learning the tricks of the trade, I love that I can stick on the podcast and learn some really cool things or gain new insight into System Architecture and Design Patterns( which is something I really enjoy).
What really makes this podcast special is the fact that even though they discuss some complex and somewhat technical ideas on the show, the guys still make every episode entertaining and are able to really resonate with their audience.
I would highly recommend the podcast to any developer who wants to learn with a smile on their face.
Awesome job guys keep up the good work!

Excellent source of information

I'm currently a in 4th year of software development in Ireland and only recently started listening to coding blocks. I just wish I discovered this earlier as it has helped me understand concepts a lot better while also getting different developers opinions, uses and examples. For someone not programming long coding blocks also helps pick up on how to talk about different topics, the lingo if you like. At the moment I'm bingeing on coding blocks any chance I get and love it, the humour is an added bonus also , keep it up ;-)
