Attn: Coding Slaves
I just finished listening to the latest Franklins.Net DotNetRocks episode with “Coding Slave” author Bob Reselman; Bob really impressed me (when he could get a word in between the two hosts -- Carl Franklin and Rory Blyth) and Bob's perspective on outsourcing, humans and software, and other topics is really refreshing to hear. I'm going to get his book and check out his site www.CodingSlave.com. From what I've heard, guys like Brendan Tompkins should definitely check out the book (Brendan had a blog frenzy on outsourcing a few weeks back) . . . for that matter, any developer with a little experience and a little introspection may get a lot out of the “Coding Slave“ book.
For the record, I really like DotNetRocks and appreciate the void they fill on my longer drives to work . . . on the other hand, I'm surprised at times when host (and developer) Carl Franklin doesn't know things like what Model-View-Controller is. I cringe since he often claims to represent the VB community at large.
I can't rag on the DotNetRocks guys much, though, because there's lots of stuff I don't know and, as Mark Bonafe has said: “No One Knows All“, but I figured an accomplished teacher and developer such as Carl Franklin would have learned something like MVC a long time ago!
Happy .Netting
