Well, this is awkward. Coding Blocks is signing out for now, in this episode we'll talk about what's happening and why. We have had an amazing run, far better than we ever expected. Also, Joe recommends 50 games, Allen goes for the gold, and Outlaw is totally normal. (And we're not crying you're crying!) Thank […]

The one and only Joe Zack of Coding Blocks fame joins us for an evening of dissecting the term Fullstack and how we use it within the industry. Listen and enjoy as each of us almost rhythmically flit between being in favour of calling yourself full stack and being vehemently against it. If there's a correct answer we certainly didn't find it but we had fun trying. Listeners are encouraged to listen to our experiences and use them to decide how they will conduct themselves in their career. This podcast is not instructional but somewhat therapeutic for the hosts.

Episode Transcription Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet. I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I wanted to talk about the 2021 season break, a few podcasts that I'd would like to recommend to you, and when the podcast will return with new episodes - which won't be long, honest. So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in dotnet new podcast and let the show begin. A Mid-year Break Hello everyone, this is Jamie here. I'd like to first thank you all for listening to the podcast, whether you are a new listener, someone who has listened to every episode from the start, or someone who picks and chooses which episode to listen to, I would like to thank you for listening. Some of you my not fully understand how much effort goes into creating a fortnightly podcast, especially a well researched interview podcast. To go from no episode to a recorded interview, ready for my editor to work on, takes around six hours. Another two hours is required in order to edit the show (thanks Mark), and a few more hours on the other side for post-production. Don't get me wrong, I love working on this show; I love working on the show because it allows me to give back to the development community that gave so much to me. With this in mind, I'd like to announce that the podcast is going on a short vacation. And by that, I mean that there will be no episodes (other than this one) until September 10th, 2021. from the date of recording, this means a four week break until the next new episode will drop Don't despair though, as there will be new episodes. We have already recorded a number of interviews with some wonderful people, about some amazing technologies. So the podcast isn't going anywhere. As a bit of a teaser, here are some of the topics that are coming up: DotPurple Dapr (not Dapper - D A P P E R) although if you are on the Dapper team (D A P P E R) and would like to be on the show, keep listening Clean Code ASP .NET Core design patterns Unity There are actually two interviews planned on Unity and I'm really looking forward to these, because I've always had a keen interest in games development in .NET. So make sure to stay subscribed - and to head over to dotnetcore.show/subscribe for ways to do that - and watch for new episodes dropping, very soon. In the meantime, we will be taking a little time off. But we're also be recording one or two interviews, too. Contacting the Show This leads me to a related point: getting in touch with the show. We were recently contacted by a listener who shared a wonderful, yet personal story - as such I won't be reading their story out. But one of the points they made was that it was hard to figure out how to get in touch with me and the other folks who help run the show this person reached out over Twitter, for reference As a direct result of this, we've created a contact page - at https://dotnetcore.show/contact, check your podcatcher for a link. We're hoping that this could be a way for people to initiate contact with us. Whether it's to give us some direct feedback, to ask a question, suggest a podcast topic, recommend a guest, or ask whether you can be a guest, we're looking forward to hearing from you. So please do reach out. We're going to be collating contact form submissions, and asking the authors if we can read them out on the show. We're planning on creating a new segment for the show where we read out messages sent in by listeners, so please do reach out. we'll always be in direct contact to ask, before reading any messages out Podcasts You Might like So because we'll be taking a four week break, I'd like to let you know about a few related podcasts that you might like. Tabs & Spaces Let's start with Tabs & Spaces, which is a software development pub chat podcast. In this podcast, the hosts discuss a technology, topic, or some of their work experiences in an informal, programming language agnostic, humorous way. Episodes are released once per month and (at the time of recording) there are 20 episodes released, most of which are around 60 minutes long. As full disclosure, I am one of the hosts of this podcast along with James Studart and Zac Braddy. Coding Blocks If you are a developer but don't listen to Coding Blocks then you are really doing yourself a disservice. Don't be put off by the fact that the url for Coding Blocks https://codingblocks.net ends with the .NET top-level domain, as this show isn't about .NET. It is one of the best technology agnostic talk show podcasts that I have ever heard. The hosts - Michael, Allen, and Joe - discuss everything from git to Kubernetes, and from the many different IDEs to the annual developer surveys. They bring a wonderful humour to their discussions - they even have a yearly shopping spree, where they each get a fictional budget of $3,000 to spend on anything that they want. The Advent of Computing If you're interested in the history of computers, the electronics which lead to them, and programming, then I would recommend listening to Sean Hass' Advent of Computing. Sean presents exceptionally well researched audio essays about individuals, certain famous (and not so famous) computers, programming languages, and more than a few important applications from the 1940s all the way up to the modern era. The Waffling Taylors I am one of the hosts of The Waffling Taylors and it's a show about something that I love: video games. My brother and I sit with friends, developers, and experts in the industry to talk about video games, their culture, and the many of the video game related products out there. From video game films to novel tie-ins, and interviews with legends in the video game development industry. This show is presented as an informal chat about video games, video game films, and anything related to them. Award Winning Podcast? In June this year (2021), the podcast was nominated for and won an Azure Heroes "Content Hero Badger": This means that someone from the community in this case previous guest Harry Bellamy nominated the show for an award, and Microsoft awarded it with an NFT interestingly, episode 108 of Tabs & Spaces which came out shortly after that was about NFTs and that it was the 20th that they had awarded - we were in right at the beginning. Thank for nominating the show, Harry. Ways to Support the Show If you'd like to support the show AND YOU REALLY DON'T NEED TO, but we'd like it if you did the best way that you can do that is to share it with a fellow developer - regardless of whether they are a junior, senior, someone starting the journey, or anywhere in between. And best of all, recommending the show is free and relatively trivial. We are present on both Twitter and LinkedIn check your pocatcher for a link to both of those and would love to be included on any Tweets or LinkedIn posts that you might write about the show. You could also leave a review on the podcatcher that you use. This will other people to find the show, especially those you aren't connected to. There are lots of different podcatchers out there which allow listeners to leave reviews. As such we have put together a page with links to a number of those which have reviews at https://dotnetcore.show/review/. Should you wish to support the show in a financial manner AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REQUIREMENT TO DO THIS there are both the Buy Me a Coffee and Patreon pages check your podcatcher for links to these Buy Me A Coffee allows you to send roughly the cost of a cup of coffee as a one-off gift, whereas Patreon acts as a recurring monthly payment service. Neither of which are required for you to continue to listen to the show. All "Coffees" and Patreon subscriptions are used to keep the podcast free to listen to, by paying for hosting, software, and editing costs. And we are grateful for anyone who would like to support the show in this way. Wrapping Up We'll be back on September 10th, 2021 with an interview with Michael Babienco about DotPurple, but in the mean time make sure that you check out the following four podcasts: Tabs & Spaces Coding Blocks Advent of Computing Waffling Taylors and take a look at our contact page if you're interested in: feeding back to the show asking a question requesting a topic suggesting a guest asking to be a guest The show notes, as always, can be found at dotnetcore.show, every URL listed in this episode will be linked there, and there will be a link directly to them in your podcatcher. And don't forget to spread the word, leave us a rating or review on your podcatcher of choice - head over to dotnetcore.show/subscribe for ways to do that - or reach out via out contact page, and to come back next time for more .NET goodness. I will see you again real soon. See you later folks.

Der Umgang mit git oder einem anderen Versionskontrollsystem gehört zum Alltag von so ziemlich jedem Entwickler. git hat als dezentrales System gegenüber SVN oder Subversion zahlreiche Vorteile, ist jedoch auch sehr umfangreich und bietet auch erfahrenen Nutzern nach Jahren der Übung immer wieder neue Tricks, um sich noch effizienter in den persönlichen oder den Workflow des Teams einzufügen. Mit Stefan Lengfeld spreche ich über das beliebte Versionskontrollsystem, seinen Ursprung und seinen generellen Aufbau, um einmal wirklich zu verstehen, was bei Befehlen wie `git checkout` unter der Shell passiert. Anschließend gehen wir auf die Kollaboration im Team ein, welche verschiedene Branching-Strategien notwendig macht. Stefan und ich berichten außerdem aus unserem Projektalltag und gehen dabei etwa auf das Develope-Master-Pattern ein und wie wir mit Hot-Fixes und Releases umgehen. Und zum Abschluss verraten wir euch dann noch unsere liebsten git Befehle, die unseren Alltag vereinfachen. Links Git Flow Git Workflows podcast von Coding Blocks

Arlene Andrews is a self-guided learner who has moved into the Quality Advocate section of the tech world with Lightning Fox. In this episode Phil and Arlene discuss the importance of continual learning, why you should do due diligence on a company before agreeing to join them and how the current diversity trend is impacting the way the tech industry works.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: (4.10) TOP CAREER TIP Be curious and interested in everything. The more you know the easier it is to find interesting projects and people to work with.   (5.16) WORST CAREER MOMENT A start-up Arlene worked for is now being investigated for major fraud. The fraud took place around the time she left. The experience has taught her to be a little bit more cynical and to carry out more due diligence before accepting new positions or projects.   (6.33) CAREER HIGHLIGHT Working on a group project with the CodingBlocks Slack folks is currently Arlene’s career highlight. The idea came from the community and the CodingBlocks team decided to make it a reality. It is a large scale ongoing project that will help people across the world. Arlene is enjoying being part of something that is bigger than herself. It is enabling her to explore new tech and get over her imposter syndrome.   (8.14) THE FUTURE OF CAREERS IN I.T The fact that people from all fields are now able to get involved in the IT industry is an exciting trend. It means that people are now able to make tech their 2nd career.  Arlene is self-educated, yet has still been able to have a successful IT career. Having people from different backgrounds involved in the industry is helping companies to see things from a different perspective. As a result, they are able to serve more people efficiently.   (10.20) THE REVEAL What first attracted you to a career in I.T.? – At the time that Arlene was introduced to computing, things in were not going the way she wanted in the rest of her life. So, being able to get her VIC 20 computer to do what she told it was an utter delight. What’s the best career advice you received? – If something catches your interest, find out more and try using what you learn. What’s the worst career advice you received? – When Arlene entered college, she was told to become a secretary and get a job with a company she could stay with for life. These days, following that sort of path is no longer necessary, for anyone. What would you do if you started your career now? – Arlene jokes that she would have started her IT career 20 years earlier. What are your current career objectives? – This year, she is due to speak at a couple of conferences and is working on growing her blog. What’s your number one non-technical skill? Short story telling has taught Arlene how to engage her audience in fun yet effective ways. How do you keep your own career energized? – Giving back to the community keeps Arlene engaged and energized. She spends a lot of time on the developer focused slacks tracking down answers for people’s questions. What do you do away from technology? – Arlene enjoys writing, knitting and she tries to walk. But, the thing she enjoys most is being out with people seeing how they use and enjoy tech.   (18.00) FINAL CAREER TIP – Stay curious. Keep doing what you are doing, but be sure to expand to cover all of the bases and be ready for the future.   BEST MOMENTS (4.12) – Arlene - “Be interested in everything.” (11.52) – Arlene - “Just try it.” (12.48) – Arlene - “Don’t get locked into one way of looking at how to do things” (14.14) – Arlene - “Start your IT career young and start safely.” (17.59) – Arlene - “Stay curious and expand your knowledge to cover all of the bases.”   ABOUT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil Burgess is an independent IT consultant who has spent the last 20 years helping organisations to design, develop and implement software solutions.  Phil has always had an interest in helping others to develop and advance their careers.  And in 2017 Phil started the I.T. Career Energizer podcast to try to help as many people as possible to learn from the career advice and experiences of those that have been, and still are, on that same career journey.   CONTACT THE HOST – PHIL BURGESS Phil can be contacted through the following Social Media platforms: Twitter: https://twitter.com/philtechcareer LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/philburgess Facebook: https://facebook.com/philtechcareer Instagram: https://instagram.com/philtechcareer Website: https://itcareerenergizer.com/contact Phil is also reachable by email at phil@itcareerenergizer.com and via the podcast’s website, https://itcareerenergizer.com Join the I.T.

Breaking Bad Coding Habits This week guest Joe Zack talks about how to apply the power of habit to break bad coding habits. Joe is a software developer based in Central Florida. He is a host of the Coding Blocks podcast and is particularly excited about Search Engines and the JAMStack these days. Sponsor - Ardalis Services Does your development team need a force multiplier to level up their quality? Contact Ardalis Services to see how we can help. Show Notes / Transcript Hello my name is Joe Zack, and I’m a long time developer and podcaster over at Coding Blocks. I’m also a huge sucker for the Business-y PopSci Self-Help kind of books that you see on Top Seller lists. I like to take the lessons from those books and try apply them to my programming. One book I particularly enjoyed was "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg, check the show notes for a link. This book describes the building of habits as the process of taking explicit procedural actions, and turning them into implicit declarative actions. And hey, that sounds kinda like programming to me! We programmers figure out precisely what operations need to occur to fulfill our requirements, and we write programs to automate those operations so that we can deal things at a higher level of abstraction. That enables us to combine and compose these programs to solve even bigger problems without getting tripped up on tiny little details. "The Power of Habit" book promises that building good habits is much like building a SOLID API. You spend the time up front building good habits, and then you get a multiple of that time back with reduced maintenance costs over time. But what if your API isn’t so SOLID? What if you’ve developed some bad habits that you would like to change? Well then, you’re in luck - because the book spends a lot of time looking at how habits can be changed and I’m here to share some of that with you. An example of a bad programming habit that I have is only considering the "happy path” operations that need to happen to meet a requirement. I tend to focus too much on how to make something work, and not enough on how to handle problems that might arise in the real-world. In writing about changing habits, author Charles Duhigg encourages me to determine the cue, routine, reward, and craving in this bad habit. If I can determine those 4 aspects of the habit, then I can figure out how best to change it. In this example, I can look back and see that my undesirable behavior most often occurs when I’m estimating tickets, so that is my “cue”. The “routine” is my act of imagining the work that needs to happen to fulfill the requirements of the ticket and then estimating how long that will take. My “reward” is that I can get back to programming, which is an activity that I enjoy a lot more than estimating. In fact, the consequences for my bad estimates are typically deferred until I actually start working on those tickets. The final aspect of a habit is the “craving”. This is the anticipation of the reward. Knowing that I can get back to “real work” once I complete my estimates provides an incentive for working quickly, rather than accurately. According to the book, the trick to changing habits is to recognize the cue, craving and reward - and to replace the routine. In my example, a good tactic would be to replace my current imaginative process with a more disciplined approach. Perhaps adding together a separate estimate for the happy path and one for dealing with exceptions would encourage me to look at the bigger picture and would lead to a more accurate result. I’m going to give this a shot, and see how it goes. In the meantime I hope that you take a moment to consider how healthy your programming habits are. If there are any habits that you are unhappy with, then remember that you can change them by recognizing the cue, craving and reward - and changing the routine that you perform in response to those stimuli. Keep doing the right thing, and eventually you’ll codify that habit into your mental muscle memory so that the good behaviors flow without you having to think explicitly about it and you can operate efficiently at a higher level of abstraction. Thanks for having me on the show Steve! Show Resources and Links The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business On Audible Power of Habit Summary

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. Be sure to head over to www.CodingBlocks.net/review and leave us a review on your favorite podcasting platform!
