In this episode, I thought it important to set out why in a decent amount of depth. So, why? Well, essentially, because they're of interest to me, because having a more narrow rather than broad focus makes life easier to focus and learn, and because they're areas that I messed up in over the years and want to do much better at.

That's what I'm keen to find out in this episode of the podcast.

Why? Because I’m an avid Git command-line user, and have been for over 10 years! But, recently, I’ve been experimenting with some of the GUI tools available for Git to see if if I’m missing out on anything, and how the experience differs from the command line.

In this episode, I share with you what it's like using Git Tower, and Git GUIs in general, as a long-time command-line user, and some of the pros and cons of each approach.

If you're, primarily a PHP developer and have considered or spent time learning Java (or brushing back up on Java) then you might well relate to some or all of my recent experiences doing so.

I sit down with my friend Andrew Kew to talk about whether AI is a net positive or negative for us as developers, and for society more widely. It was such a solid discussion that I felt my position become a little more open-minded to AI having a positive impact.

That said, it was heartening to remember that, when working with AI, that your prompt needs to be very accurate and detailed so that it will do what you want it to do. And, that as good as it is, it has quite a long way to go yet. More specifically for us as developers, customers still need to clearly define requirements, we as developers, need to understand the domain, and that AI's not a replacement for developers, rather a complimentary tool; a sparing partner if you will.

Why? Because I invested so much time in writing the code behind the tutorial, researching the various components that I used, writing, editing, and refining the post. It was a mission — but so worth it. 

Additionally, I've become a massive fan of the Slim Framework, because of how light and minimalist it is, and want to help others see just how good it is. It doesn't have the market share or financial backing of larger frameworks, such as Laravel and Symfony, so I'm doing my bit to help raise its profile.

Let's have a celebratory episode full 98eccbcd-3896-442c-99cf-eae9f2aa27dc https://share.transistor.fm/s/dfd3380c This is a bit of a fireside-chat style episode, with not much tech talk going on. Rather, it's a bit of a look behind-the-scenes at what goes in to creating technical books and courses, such as a bit about what it takes to set up a home recording studio (on a budget) that still delivers the level of professionalism that you'd expect. 

So grab your favourite beverage, settle in, and please don't mind me meandering a bit here an there throughout the course of the episode.

In this episode, I'm not talking much tech, sharing a bit of behind-the-scenes stories about what it took to get Docker Essentials finished, about what it's taken to create the trailer for the book and course, where the podcast is heading, and more. software development, technical writing, online course creation, podcasting, technology No Docker Essentials (the Book) is READY (and what I learned about docker build recently) 1 1 5 5 Docker Essentials (the Book) is READY (and what I learned about docker build recently) full 7410c7da-2738-4daa-b4ca-fca2f3fc79e7 https://share.transistor.fm/s/0660bca5 It sure feels like a lifetime since I began planning out Docker Essentials all those months ago. But it's ready. So, I feel that it's only fair to talk about it, given the number of hours that have gone in to create it. If you haven't already, grab your copy today and get in to the fun that is Docker!

But it's not all self-promotion in this episode. I also share a good chunk about what I've been learning about the docker build command. Most importantly how, since Docker Engine 18.09, with some restrictions, it can send an entire context to a remote Docker daemon. 

Because of that, you don't have to sync or copy files to the remote host using tools such as sftp, rsync over SSH, a Samba or NTFS share, or any other kind of tool Docker does it all for you. What's not to love about the simplicity that one, small command gives you?! So if you're new to the command or don't know that much about it, this episode is for you.


Grab your favourite beverage, settle in, and let's talk Docker!

The lowdown is that I didn't follow the key advice from tailwindcss and start with a small device first, and then work up to a large device, such as a standard desktop. I started with a standard desktop and then had to refactor the design to be responsive. What a no-no.

In this episode, I share my experiences of doing that, to encourage you not to make my mistake.
