    023 - Essentials for Becoming a Software Professional

    We take a look at Uncle Bob’s (Bob Martin) book The Clean Coder and discuss the topic of software professionalism. We have varying degrees of experience that we share with each other and the audience. We walk chapter by chapter through the book and give some general impressions of what we took away from it. We discuss work/life balance, time management, client communication, and many other aspects of the coding lifestyle. No matter if you are a beginner or a veteran of the software industry, The Clean Coder is key for personal professionalism.

    022 - What's React Native All About?

    React Native is a framework that builds applications for both IOS and Android systems. We have some curiosity about React Native and Lucas and Alex join us to tell us about their experience with React and React Native. How does React Native compare to the original React? What sort of workflow can you expect? What languages can you use with React Native? How long does a build take? Lucas and Alex answer all these questions and offer their opinions on the tool. We also discuss the alternative to React and how a newbie could get their feet wet.

    So how do you like to work? Are you a multi-monitor user? Do you prefer the lights on or off? Dan and Margaret sit down with Adam Frank and Brian Hogg and compare preferences, quirks, and techniques when they want to get down to work and have a productive time. We discuss strategies and tips we’ve collected over time. We share tools we find work for us and what doesn’t work for us. Productivity is a personal experience and there is no right way to do it.
