Coding Blocks

Part 4 of our design patterns series, this time up it's Adapters, Facades, and Mementos. Oh, and which tech luminary would make the best head of state! See these notes on the web: http://www.codingblocks.net/episode30

It's that time again. This week we answer a question, Allen registers for school, Joe reads some numbers, Michael breaks out the survey results, and Joe cringes at the thought of bidets. It's time for episode 29! And we thought, what better to talk about than to continue our discussion on hierarchical data solutions. See the full shownotes here: http://www.codingblocks.net/episode29

So, how DO you persist hierarchical Data? We discuss two common solutions to this age-old problem: Adjacency Lists and Nested Set Models. Also, Build Atlanta, technical problems, multi-monitor vs ultra-wide, and utilizing gaming mice to up your game. See the full shownotes here: http://www.codingblocks.net/episode28

In this episode we discuss algorithms, puzzles and the best way to ensure you're prepared for an interview programming problem. It's not uncommon for interviewers to have software developers write code on a board during an interview process, especially with one of the larger tech companies out there. So in this podcast we discuss a number of resources to help you hone your problem solving skills and some step by step approaches that can be used to improve your ability to perform under pressure!

This week we give away Joe's stuff, we break up with IE8 like a big boy, Joe and Allen get excited about readme files, and we argue about which is worse: bad code or bad architecture. That and more in this week's episode where we explore the new bits in ASP.NET 5. See the full shownotes here: https://www.codingblocks.net/episode25

This week we tackle one of life's great questions, does Jack Bauer give high fives? Also, we go over everything you need to know about delegates, events, callbacks and closures in .NET. Big thanks to @kappelcodesalot for being the inspiration for this episode! See the full shownotes here: http://www.codingblocks.net/episode24

It's time to get back to basics. It's easy as a software developer to be working on the latest and greatest frameworks, using the best methodologies, trying out new things. Sometimes it's a good idea to get a refresher on the very basic fundamentals. In this episode we go over the access modifiers that are common in C# and Java as well as ways to emulate these types of behaviors in Javascript. And let's be honest - encapsulation is only effective if you're providing programmers that come after you with a roadmap of how things should work. For that reason we also discuss Command Query Separation and some other ideas and practices that are a part of good programming practices.
