  • Learning for Everyone

    Speaking as a developer, regardless of your current/prior experience with programming, this series is a great listen and everyone can pick up a new trick or three.

    Bart does a fantastic job of preparing the lessons (with meticulous show notes) and Allison is the perfect student…..you know the one……at the front of the class always with her hand up ;)
