Still Kickin’

Yep, Coding Blocks hit 2 million a while go, seems like just a few months ago we hit the 1m mark.

In addition to the podcast we’ve branched out into videos, so make sure to check those out too!

Here are a couple of the playlists I’ve worked on:

Finally, in addition to Coding Blocks I’ve also managed to scam my way onto a few others:

Well, that’s the highlight reel. See you in another couple months!

What I’ve been up to…

Most of my extracurricular energy is still going into Coding Blocks, but I thought I’d share some recent highlights over here as well.

For example…

Coding Blocks exceeded 1,000,000 downloads!

Coding Blocks crossed an important milestone last year, big thanks to everyone for supporting us! Go check out the site to check out the latest episodes.

Demystifying the Technical Interview through Practice

I think dedicated practice is the best way to improve at anything, so I created a series of videos to practice technical interviews. It’s tough to talk and program at the same time!

Mini Code Adventures

Created a series of videos highlighting quick and simple projects that you can code up in minutes.

LINQ LINQ LINQ

I’ve been doing a lot of research on LINQ for episode 6 of the Coding Blocks podcast and I was a bit surprised by what I came up with.

I had originally thought of LINQ as a feature. I had heard the parable of the guy at the white board, writing what they thought code should look like and then worked backwards on how to get there. This makes sense, but what surprised me was just how much of the building blocks were already there.

I wrote a blog post about it over at codingblocks.net, so go check it out: What’s So Special About LINQ?.
