Stackd 46. As we spend time coding! (since we are isolating)

Yep, the crowd have been catching up with their netflix shows, reading cool blogs, and keeping up to date in the Enterprise space! We dive a little into some of the COVID-19 OSS projects out there (for those who want to take a peek and contribute), and then cover the interesting news of Github acquiring NPM!

Then we talk about Node.js, Quarkus, the Deep Netts Platform for Java to finally land in the Zoom world. We also go over on Quarkus 1.3.2 being released, and how Python now ties w/Java in 2nd place.

So what ya waiting for, take a listen!

Stackd 45. In Isolation and Self-quarantine!

Oh my, staying in isolation is tough! But that didn’t stop the crew of Stackd to record the latest news in the full-stack space! From UI (Angular 9 is released!), to JavaFX 14, and Micronaut 1.3, there has been a lot of new things to play with!

Then we follow the crew as we dive into “Developer Happiness” and what does it mean when programming (those pesky null checks and guards are definitively a source of ‘unhappiness’). So while practicing social distancing, stay a while listening to our new episode of Stackd!
