Hello, and welcome to Season 22 of our podcast! As we dive into this new season, we're excited to embark on a journey that explores the path of becoming and evolving as developers. This season is dedicated to the developer journey, focusing on the steps and lessons contributing to building a better developer. Whether you're just starting or looking to enhance your existing skills, this season has something for everyone. The Developer Journey This season is all about the various routes one can take to become a developer and the steps to improve continually. We'll cover foundational skills, necessary certifications, and how to build a solid resume. Becoming a developer can start with a computer science degree, a coding boot camp, or a career switch from a different field. Regardless of where you start, every developer faces typical milestones and challenges. Building a Strong Foundation for Your Developer Journey A strong foundation is crucial in the developer journey. We'll delve into the basics every developer should know, such as understanding collections, patterns, and logical arithmetic. These fundamentals are essential whether you're writing code for the first time or revisiting concepts after years of experience. These core principles remain relevant and necessary for growth as technology evolves. Evolving Skill Sets and Staying Relevant Technology is always changing, and developers must adapt to stay relevant. We'll discuss how to update your skills and resume to reflect current trends and technologies. For instance, skills that were cutting-edge a decade ago, like Flash or Adobe Air, might now be obsolete. It's essential to keep your skill set current, whether learning new languages like Java or .NET or gaining proficiency in modern frameworks and tools. Handling Career Transitions Career transitions are a natural part of the developer journey. We'll explore when and how to make these transitions, whether moving into management, higher-end architecture, or a completely new area within tech. We'll also discuss how to identify when you're in a rut, and it's time to seek new opportunities, whether within your current company or elsewhere. Lessons Learned and Personal Experiences from the Host's Developer Journey Throughout this season, we'll share personal experiences and lessons learned. Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche bring years of experience in development, consulting, and software testing. They will provide insights from their journeys, including challenges and successes. Their goal is to offer valuable advice and practical tips to help you navigate your path. The Importance of Adaptability Adaptability is key in a developer's career. As new tools and technologies emerge, applying them to every problem is tempting. However, balancing excitement for new tools with practical application is crucial. We'll discuss effectively integrating new technologies into your workflow without misusing them. Continuous Learning and Improvement The developer journey is one of continuous learning and improvement. This season aims to provide you with wisdom and actionable advice you can apply daily. From foundational skills to advanced concepts, we hope to equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to become a better developer. Embrace Your Developer Journey As we kick off Season 22, we're excited to delve into the developer journey and explore the many facets of becoming and growing as a developer. Whether you're just starting or have decades of experience, there's always something new to learn and ways to improve.

Electron could be the Adobe Air we all hoped for. At least Microsoft, Github, Docker, and others think so. But is it all hype? We debate Electron’s potential, and review Visual Studio Code which is built on-top of Electron. Has Agile become a failure? We discuss what can lead to a failed Agile development implementation, and some secrets to success.

If you've ever thought about creating and selling software in your niche but don't know a single line of code... or, if you've been wondering how to gain an advantage over your competitors (authors, speakers, coaches, and information marketer) then look no further to creating your own simple software. "How to Create and Sell Software" FREE Report Subscribe on iTunes - RSS Podcast Feed Like the Robert Plank Show on Facebook It's a lot easier, faster, and cheaper than you might think, and I want to tell you all about it in today's EXTENDED LENGTH edition of the Robert Plank Show. Topics covered: The secrets of creating a "simpleware" 1-button solution to vaccinate your sales against your competition Why you'll sell a lot more copies of your software product (hint: this works in any niche) compared to selling information (it's all about the live demo) The four types of software ideas including: a better solution to an existing problem (webinar service that uses S3, Twilio transcription service), simplify an existing process (WordPress screen capture plugin), combine multiple solutions (WP Security plus, podcast creation app, Kindle/CreateSpace/Kunaki cover generator), add-on to your existing product (Setup a Fan Page fangate & artwork creator, WordPress desktop installer, content feed service) How you too can create and sell your own software even if you can't code, no matter niche you're in... for example: real estate (mortgage calculator, listings tracker, geotargeted landing pages), weight loss (30 day meal plan, calorie counter, juicing log), self help (time management clock, mad libs productivity hypnosis) How to create a software spec -- no matter what kind of software you're creating -- that forces you to make "tough" decisions early (in plain English), decide what platform (i.e. web-based membership site, WordPress plugin, Adobe Air, iPhone app), data structure, user stories, and limits your initial features (in a good way) How to hire the right person to create your software including interview questions, the "whittling down" method, mini-projects, along with the exact "avatar" you'd want to hire in your business How to launch your software product in a marketplace such as the Apple App Store Android Store, Clickbank, Download.com, etc. And more!

TIM: Hello! CHUCK: And AJ O’Neal. And I'm Charles Max Wood from devchat.tv. This week, we are going to be talking about ‘Node-webkit’. It seems like Tim is the most familiar with it, so why don’t you jump in and tell us a little bit about it? TIM: All right. Basically the idea is to make desktop apps using Node and then having HTML as your display layer for your widgets. And I start a project doing this several years ago from Topcube, but I failed miserably because I'm not that good of a C engineer. And since then, a few projects have taken up the idea. Node-webkit is one done by Intel and the main engineer there is Roger Wang. So on Roger Wang’s GitHub there is node-webkit. And the other popular one is called ‘app.js’ and I think there is a couple others as well. And some other people have taken over my Topcube project and they use it for some maps app. And all these projects had the basic idea of you have a desktop native app that has Node and node-webkit inside of it. CHUCK: So, is it kind of like PhoneGap or some of these other things for mobile? TIM: Yeah. It’s similar to PhoneGap in that, you get more privileges than a browser would have in a more native experience. Instead of just the PhoneGap extensions, you get all of Node -- you get the full Node environment -- which means you can use all that existing libraries and ecosystem. JAMISON: So how does this compare to the Chrome native apps thing? Because I know that they are more --- already have some like JS APIs that let you touch stuff on the server or things like that. Is this just – it’s not sandbox at all? TIM: Yeah. I mean, this is a native app. It’s not in your browser at all. It bundles its own webkit. JAMISON: Oooh. TIM: It’s more like -- what was that flash thing they had years ago? AJ: ‘Adobe Air’? TIM: Air yeah. It’s like Adobe Air that doesn’t suck.

Carl and Richard talk to David Bates about the state of Flash. But first, the boys geek out on David's hacking exploits with Arduino and Kinect. Then the conversation gets a bit more serious, talking about the destiny of Flash - which David points out is Adobe Air.

Maar RIM weet alvast van geen wijken. Een hele resem Grote G onderwerpen: Google TV is officieel een flop, althans volgens Logitech. Larry Page gaat ondertussen voor een nieuwe management stijl van Google met als direct gevolg: Google Graveyard. En in Nederland is er een - ietwat onhandige - opt-out voor Google Maps-scans van je WIFI-netwerk. Met een uitspraak als 'Android is het nieuwe Symbian' zorgt Marco voor een Tech45-relletje.

I liked the idea about decorating classroom doorways. I think we'll try it this September as an ice breaking activity. Two questions: 1) I am trying to come up with an all school middle school read for the summer. My school is mainly boys. Any suggestions? 2) I would like to assign a book to the teachers for the summer as well. Any suggestions for us teachers? Keep up the great work! Maybe I'll have all the teachers listen to all 70 some-odd MSM podcasts over the summer. It's worth it." http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/

On this week's show; Paul talks about better understanding disabled users. We have a tip from Jeremy about problem solving and Jonathan Snook introduces us to Adobe Air.

Crash Course in Adobe AIR There comes a time when web developers need to reach beyond the browser to allow users to go offline, use local files or get rid of the hideous browser chrome. The Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) is an up an coming runtime technology that allows desktop applications to be developed with HTML, JavaScript, Flash or Flex. The AIR runtime and SDK are completely free so anyone can get started immediately. Andre Charland will will give an overview or AIR, the APIs you get access to and how to build a simple Flex and HTML application with it. From there we will explore some of the tools available to make AIR development easier and faster. We’ll finish up with a few important usability guidelines and real world case studies of AIR projects. A real world overview of Silverlight Seattle-based Jackson Fish Market helped deliver the Silverlight based search engine Tafiti, one of the earliest commercial Silverlight applications. In this presentation, Jackson Fish Market co-founder Walter Smith will give us a detailed overview of Microsoft’s RIA technology Silverlight. We’ll learn from Walter’s first hand experience the strengths and weaknesses of the platform, and see real world examples of what Silverlight can be used to achieve. If you are looking to evaluate RIA frameworks, or just get a sense of the emerging RIA landscape, this session will prove invaluable. Andre Charland Andre Charland is the co-founder and CEO at Nitobi Inc. He’s been involved in Internet software development for almost a decade. As an advocate for usability and user experience, he speaks regularly on Ajax and web usability. Most recently Andre presented at MAX, the Adobe AIR Bus Tour, and the Ajax Experience. Andre is the co-author of "Enterprise Ajax", published by Prentice Hall this summer, and maintains his own blog. Andre also plays with a ski blog in his spare time and will be buying beers for anyone who can keep up at Whistler during the ski trip :) Walter Smith Currently co-founder of Jackson Fish Market, Walter spent over a decade at Microsoft as a developer, architect, and development manager on a wide variety of projects, including Internet Explorer. Prior to his time at Microsoft, Walter spent 8 years at Apple working on the groundbreaking Newton project.

Once again, we got the l33t reddit gang together this afternoon for our weekly podcast based on the highest ranked stories on the Elite Tech News Reddit. Besides the regulars, Mark â??Rizznâ?? Hopkins as moderator, MG Siegler of ParisLemon, Jason from Webomatica, and myself, we also finally got the most prolific of all l33t reddit posters, Steven Hodson of WinExtra on the line, as well as Art Lindsey from artlindsey.com. Some of the topics we discussed today: 1. Bitchmemes: Dead Bloggers 2. Microsoft and Yahoo (again) 3. iTunes music vs. Amazon and iTunes HD video downloads 4. Seesmic (and the horror that it is) 5. Adobe Air on Linux 6. Bloggers calling it quits 7. Loren Feldmanâ??s puppets and Shel Israelâ??s unwatchable FastCompanyTV interviews.

Last year at DEMO 2007 Adobe showcased Adobe AIR, a cross-operating system application runtime that enables web developers to create powerful rich Internet applications (RIAs) for the desktop. This year a handful of demonstrating companies are using AIR. Listen to Adobe on BlogTalkRadio.
