A double first for Coding Coders, this episode is the first to feature TWO guests, both from the shows very first sponsor OBLSK! Mike Munroe and Dave Kroondyk are from OBLSK, a software consultancy specializing in Ruby on Rails. In this episode they share their adventures converting a clients dotNet and angularjs application to Rails and Hotwire. A full rewrite of any application is always an adventure but throw in mobile apps and you have an adventure of epic proportion.
