Keeping up with the Fast Pace of the Software Development Industry
The Syntax.fm podcast had an excellent episode about the issues (and solutions) of keeping up with the fast pace of software development. While this podcast is more skewed towards JavaScript, the suggested approaches apply to all programming languages, libraries, and technologies. Some interesting points (which I bookmarked in my twitter feed):
- At 15 minutes and 46 seconds: a sane approach to this fast-moving field
- maintain core programming skills in whatever language that you’re versed in
- practice “just in time learning” for everything else
- At 47 minutes and 42 seconds: how to stay up-to-date
Developer Marketing and Landing Pages
I listened to 2 excellent episodes from the Release Notes podcast about the art of creating landing pages for various types of products. Justin Jackson does an excellent job of explaining his approach, as well as providing actionable advice. You can find the episodes here:
