    The Outbox Pattern - with Tomek Masternak and Szymon Pobiega

    In this episode, I was joined by Tomek Masternak and Szymon Pobiega from Particular Software (NServiceBus) for a technical discussion about the Outbox Pattern! The pattern is designed to improve reliability of messaging by storing outgoing messages in a database table (the “outbox”) as part of the same transaction that modifies business data - allowing a separate process to read and publish those messages to a message broker.

    The Uno Platform and Hot Design - with Jérôme Laban

    In this episode, I was joined by Jérôme Laban, the CTO of the Uno Platform. We chatted about the Uno Platform itself, which is a cross-platform framework for building single-codebase applications that run on Windows, iOS, Android, macOS, Linux, and the web via WebAssembly. We also discussed a new Hot Design feature, which is a designer/builder that during development, becomes part your application at runtime, so you can live build/edit your UIs with an easy drag and drop interface, whilst your application is running! Given you’re building your UI at runtime, the designer UI also has access to your real data and its properties for databinding, and renders them as you edit! Jérôme Laban is the Chief Technology Officer at Uno Platform. With over two decades of experience in software development, Jérôme is a recognized expert in cross-platform development, .NET technologies, and has been awarded Microsoft MVP award for many years. At Uno Platform, Jerome leads the technical vision and development of the framework, empowering developers worldwide to create rich, performant applications across all platforms. A passionate advocate for open-source and community-driven development, Jerome frequently shares his insights at global conferences, webinars, and on Twitch.

    Upgrade your Brain's OS - with Rob West

    As developers, we’re always looking for ways to improve and optimise our code. Yet we often neglect our body’s hardware and software. In this episode, I was joined by Rob West, to chat about how we can use mindfulness, nutrition, and exercise to upgrade our brain’s operating system. A large part of our discussion was about our ability to focus, why are brains naturally struggle with this, especially in the modern world - and techniques to help us with this. We did, of course, also chat about coffee! ☕️ For a full list of show notes, or to add comments - please see the website here

    Unhandled Exceptions - With Callum Linington

    In this episode, I was joined for a second time by Callum Linington - this time to discuss exceptions, which is quite fitting given the show’s name! We chatted about why you should avoid using exceptions for your main business logic and control flow, and explored better ways to handle errors.
