Coder Radio

Is the quality of Apple’s desktop and mobile software causing a slow bleeding of developers? Chris & Mike debate what developers will do over 2015. Plus we read some great follow up, feature a community project & more!

Mike is fired up by a topic that has been on fire over all of 2014. Is it finally time to let the other 95% of great programmers in?

We peer into the past of the show to pull out the amazing clips you guys suggested to us and fondly remember how funny it is to listen to Chris get trolled. Sit back, relax & enjoy the fun in this look back at best of Coder Radio!

It’s the birth of another open source project live on this week’s Coder Radio. Plus it’s an open mic edition & we discuss a wide range of topics from Microsoft’s big mobile strategy that nobody is noticing, the best Linux development environment, setting expectations, your feedback & more!

That tech worker “shortage” Facebook and Microsoft keep telling you about is bogus. We’ll go over the study and reports that back that claim up. Then we dig into the rather understandable reasons why developers wages are being pushed down & more!

It’s a special roundtable edition of Coder Radio. Our panel discussed the advantages of Go development over PHP, creating a flat-file website with no database, and the real secret to finishing that last 10%. Then we discuss the black magic Google is using to share 70% of their new Inbox’s apps code across the Web, Android, and iOS. And if Google’s new approach is a quiet condemnation of HTML5 applications.

Microsoft made headlines and has generated a lot of buzz around the open sourcing of .NET. So what does the future hold & what changes now? And why this could be more about what it says about Microsoft, than anything else. Plus some great feedback, how to find a developer, what to expect to pay & much more!

Mike and Chris respond to feedback on lackluster HTML5 apps, then how developers can leverage social media to stay up to date & avoid drama. Then we blow apart the “Full Stack Developer” myth and the evolution of the term.

Is the need to save money & time by developers forcing end users into less than acceptable application experiences? Have we all been oversold on HTML5? Plus getting into QA, a cloud based IDE, some great feedback & much more!
