We go deep into programming languages and their history with our guest Tierney Coren. There’s a sprinkling of tech recommendations, some Rooster Teeth and a discussion on the popularity of Let’s Play videos.
- Chris asks the tough question, “What is Node.js?”
- Learn more about javascript with Douglas Crockford.
- Syntax can make things difficult when it comes to languages. Paul says jQuery really helped in the case of popularizing Javascript.
- Tierney discusses Gulp.js and Electron, web kits for Node.
- Our guest is using a Razer mouse and headset. He found this gear thanks to the company sponsoring his favorite content producer, Rooster Teeth.
- Chris uses a Logitech Performance Mouse MX. He wore one out in 3-4 years, but bought another because he couldn’t find the rad gaming mice that people really enjoy.
- Our younger guest uses his iPhone 6+ for all his media viewing rather than a TV or computer. Paul’s testing out an iPad Pro, maybe it’s an all-in-one solution?
- Paul likes Sleep++ to monitor his sleep.
- Tierney uses CodeHub to connect to Github on his phone.
- The many text editors in Tierney’s life, Brackets, Atom and Visual Studio Code.
- Flavors of linux discussed, Elementary OS, ubuntu, kubuntu, CrunchBang and Arch.
- Chris like this windows manager for Linux, OpenBox.
- We discuss the popularity of Let’s Plays.
- Pewdiepie has built an empire by just making Let’s Play videos.
- Tierney asks that you please visit the Node.js Github and join the community. Everyone is welcome.
- Chris thanks Tunabelly software for giving him a copy of Temperature Gauge Pro to test on his Mac. Guess what? It works great and is making his computer less noisy during the podcast!
