Podcast Roundup: May 2015 Edition
I've been trying to figure out how to communicate Podcasts and links that I found to be informational or interesting but I don't want to clutter up my site with junk so I'm going to start creating roundups every month so I can still communicate these but not have 100 one link posts.
FLOSS
#335 Taiga.io
This sounds like a really interesting Agile project management system. I've created an account and it looks amazing.
This Week In Startups
Episode: 543: LAUNCH Incubator 2: Des Traynor, Cofounder Intercom, on product vision, roadmap, virality, & everything you need to know for "Starting Up"
This is a really interesting presentation about a bunch of topics that are important if you're creating a project. I've listened to it twice and I'll keep coming back to it. I might even listen to it again and post my notes. It was packed with information.
Sound of Symfony
Episode 7 - Talking about tools
An overview of various tools use in PHP development. I'm always looking for better tools to improve my work.
Episode 8 - Concerning command buses
An interesting overview of command buses.
HANSELMINUTES PODCAST
Accessibility (a11y) with OpenDirective's Steve Lee
TIL a11y = Accessibility because it starts with an "a", ends with a "y", and has 11 characters in between.
Accessibility is one of those things that I think I should do more with but never do. I'm really going to make it a goal to get my stuff together and test my sites for accessibility.
Saving Bletchley Park with Dr. Sue Black
Bletchley Park is where Turing helped create the computer that broke the Enigma. This interview talks to one of the people who was involved in converting it to a mueseum and clears up some inaccuracies in The Imitation Game (a great movie if you haven't seen it yet)
Diversity Hiring
We just finished hiring a new programmer at Zimco and almost all of the candidates we got were white men (a lot of that is due to our office's location in Mid-Michigan). It was interesting to hear two separate podcasts that discussed diversity hiring within as many days.
Scott Keck-Warren
Scott is the Director of Technology at WeCare Connect where he strives to provide solutions for his customers needs. He's the father of two and can be found most weekends working on projects around the house with his loving partner.
