Podcast appearances and mentions of fred zirdung

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Fred Zirdung This week on My JavaScript Story, Charles speaks with Fred Zirdung. Fred is currently the head of curriculum at Hack Reactor, where he essentially builds all of the tools and learning materials for the students there. He is also an instructor and has been there for five years. Prior to that, he worked for multiple companies such as Walmart Labs as well as many small startups. He first got into programming with the Logo programming language in the 6th grade and he had always been interested in working with computers since a young age. They talk about what got him into web programming, what enthralled him about JavaScript and Ruby on Rails, and what he is proud of contributing to the JavaScript community. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: JavaScript Jabber Episode 76 Fred intro How did you first get into programming? Coding professionally for 20+ years Coding prior to college graduation Logo programming language QNX operating system Were you always interested in programming? Always interested in computers Commodore 64 Basic programming in high school Programming didn’t click for him until high school In college when the web became popular Computer engineering degree in college What was it that appealed to you about software over hardware? Software vs hardware Embedded systems software How did you get into web programming? Dolby Laboratories What technologies got you excited? JavaScript, Perl, and Ruby on Rails Loved the flexibility of JS and Rails Found something he could be productive with What are you proud of contributing to the JavaScript community? What are you working on now? And much, much more!

CHUCK:  Joe Eames. JOE:  Hey there. CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. We’ve also got two special guests and that is Fred Zirdung. FRED:  Hello. CHUCK:  Did I totally butcher that? FRED:  Yeah, you got it right. CHUCK:  Okay. And Marcus Phillips. MARCUS:  Hi everybody. CHUCK:  Since you guys haven't been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourself? We’ll have Marcus go first. MARCUS:  Sure. I'm Marcus Phillips. I'm a JavaScript enthusiast. I've been in it for a long time. Really excited about framework architecture and lately, all about teaching what I've learned over the course of time that I've been working in the Bay Area and working on the frontend of Twitter and things like that. Nowadays, I teach at Hack Reactor full time which is an immersive school for learning to become a developer over a period of three months. JAMISON:  Cool. CHUCK:  And which technologies do you teach at Hack Reactor? MARCUS:  We use JavaScript as our teaching language. Fundamentally, what we’re trying to do is teach people software engineering principles. So, JavaScript just turns out to be one of the most useful languages we can use to do that. But from there, we kind of want to give people practical skills that they can use immediately on the job. So, we definitely drive the entire curriculum out of GitHub repos and teach them some practical things like Backbone and Node and deployment strategies. So yeah, we kind of cover the gambit from frontend to backend with a focus on JavaScript in particular. CHUCK:  Awesome. That sounds really cool. JOE:  Yeah, it does. MARCUS:  It’s a lot of fun. CHUCK:  Fred,
