CCATP #643 – Bart Busschots on PBS 99 of X – Building with Classes Part 2: Is-A
June 28, 2020 23:58 - 1 hour - 67.7 MBThis week Bart Busschots brings us the penultimate JavaScript installment of Programming By Stealth as he brings us part 2 of building with classes. This wraps up our third look at Object Oriented programming in JavaScript. We learn about the concept of inheritance, and how it allows us to build classes that inherit attributes and functions from parent classes. This allows us to eliminate code duplication which Bart explains is called a "bad smell". You can find Bart's tutorial shownotes...
CCATP #642 –– Bart Busschots on PBS 98 — Building with Classes Part 1 — Has-A
June 14, 2020 01:23 - 1 hour - 78.8 MBIn this episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart explains one single concept, that of "Has-A". This is part 1 of 2, where next time we'll learn "Is-A" which is about inheritance. These both sound like odd terms but they're part of what makes object oriented programming so powerful. Bart spends 90% of the time going through a worked example which not only explains how classes can have instances of other classes as properties, but also how classes can be more specific versions of other clas...
CCATP #641 – Robb Dunewood on Being a Black Man in America
June 03, 2020 00:03 - 54 minutes - 50.2 MBThis week I decided to take a pause from tech and talk to Robb Dunewood of the SMR Podcast about what it's like being a black man in America. This was of course inspired by the death of George Floyd at the hands of the police in Minneapolis. I wanted to have Robb on to describe to us what the daily life is like for black men across this country. I've heard some of Robb's stories before but I was floored at the relentlessness of how he and his fellow African Americans are treated as a matte...
CCATP #640 – Bart Busschots on PBS 97 — Class Data Attributes & Functions
May 31, 2020 20:38 - 1 hour - 72.4 MBI'm not going to lie to you guys, this episode of Programming By Stealth was pretty rough for me. It builds on the foundation Bart laid in PBS 95 where he introduced Getters and Setters and it was pretty clear that this previous lesson had not sunk in for me yet. I'll definitely have to go back and study PBS 95 a couple more times and get a chance to practice this Getter/Setter concept before the penny will drop. Hopefully you understood it better than I did the first time through! In any ...

CCATP #638 – Bart Busschots on PBS 96 of X — World Clock Challenge Solution
May 17, 2020 00:55 - 1 hour - 69.5 MBThis installment of Programming By Stealth is a solutions show all about the clock assignment from PBS 92. Bart's been quite busy this week designing an entirely new distance final exam system for the university where he works so he asked if I'd take on half of the content by presenting my solution to the clock challenge. I have had an absolute blast on this assignment so I gladly accepted. I walk through my approach and some of the challenges I met along the way, and then Bart complements ...
CCATP #637 — Bart Busschots on PBS 95 of X — Better JavaScript Class Attributes
May 02, 2020 23:57 - 1 hour - 63.4 MBThis week Bart explains how to give our JavaScript classes better data attributes via a very powerful JavaScript feature: getters and setters. On my first read through the notes for the episode, my head was spinning a bit, but Bart explains this so well using concrete examples (like a circle with a radius) that I think he got it through to me. When I told him up front that I struggled a bit when reading the shownotes, he said that this is the "pointy end" which I think meant that it was a di...
CCATP #636 – Adam Engst on 30 Years of TidBITS and other random topics
May 01, 2020 04:27 - 1 hour - 68.9 MBAdam Engst has been publishing TidBITS for 30 years so I asked him to come on the show to talk about that journey. While we technically had an agenda, this conversation wandered into all kinds of fun topics like why Adam still goes to the same dentist office even though the dentist left and why he doesn't know how many words per minute he types. I found a kindred spirit in Adam in his ability to keep doing something he loves for a very long time. I smiled and laughed and enjoyed the heck out...
CCATP #635 — Bart Busschots on PBS 94 of X — Basic JavaScript OO with Class
April 19, 2020 00:16 - 1 hour - 84.1 MBIn the early days of Programming By Stealth, Bart tried to explain JavaScript classes, objects and instances. He talked about it in Installment 17 before ES6, and then took another run at it in installments 27-31. But it never felt to Bart like he had explained it in a way that made it clear. In installment 94, Bart finally nails it. I told him the shownotes for this installment might be the best he's ever done. Everything he explains is clear and concise, the examples are superb, and w...
CCATP #634 — Mikah Sargent on Favorite TextExpander Snippets
April 14, 2020 01:13 - 1 hour - 60.9 MBThis week our guest is Mikah Sargent of the Clockwise Podcast and the TWiT network. Mikah was talking on some show about how much he loves TextExpander, and I thought it might be fun to have a session where we talked about our favorite TextExpander snippets from Smile. You can find all of Mikah's work at http://chihuahua.coffee. [email protected] podfeet.com/patreon podfeet.com/slack podfeet.com/facebook podfeet.com/amazon podfeet.com/paypal
CCATP #633 — Anthony Lemos Explains Mixers
April 10, 2020 01:12 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBAnthony Lemos of Audio Aperture Media successfully explains what mixers are for and what all those darn knobs and buttons are. Even if you're not into audio recording, I think you'll enjoy learning about mixers from Anthony. He doesn't use a lot of jargon, rather he breaks things down into simple terms that are easy to understand without a background in audio. I've never been able to figure out the difference between gain and volume, and Anthony's simple explanation finally clarified it for...
CCATP #632 – Bart Busschots on PBS #93 – Encapsulation with JavaScript Objects
April 05, 2020 14:38 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBIn this episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart takes us through the last "hat" that JavaScript objects can wear: encapsulation. As Bart walks us through the problems encapsulation solves using a funny NosillaCast-specific example, he shows how the code becomes reusable and sharable with encapsulation, and even more readable. You can read the tutorial shownotes as you listen at [pbs.bartificer.net/...](https://pbs.bartificer.net/pbs93) [email protected] podfeet.com/patreon podfeet.co...

CCATP #630 — Bart Busschots on PBS 92 — Currency Grid Solution
March 20, 2020 23:07 - 1 hour - 70.4 MBCCATP #630 for March 14, 2020, and I'm your host, Allison Sheridan. This week our guest is Bart Busschots with PBS 92 of X in which he walks us through his solution to the assignment from PBS 89 to create a grid of currency conversions. He doesn't go through his code line by line, but rather gives us the big picture of his process. Most of the time he spent on the solution was actually in refactoring his code because he decided to preload the data rather than fetching it repeatedly on-...
CCATP #629 - Dr. Garry on Study of Language Skills vs Numeracy In Learning to Program
March 14, 2020 14:40 - 58 minutes - 54 MBDr. Maryanne Garry of the University of Waikato and I break down the meaning of a research paper published in the journal Nature in which subjects were measured to see whether language aptitude had a high correlation with learning to code. The paper can be found at "Relating Natural Language Aptitude to Individual Differences in Learning Programming Languages". Figures we discuss from the open access journal: Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
CCATP #628 — Bart Busschots on Creating Automator Quick Actions
March 07, 2020 23:44 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBThis week our guest is Bart Busschots with an installment of something he's calling Programming By Stealth-adjacent. It's not part of the regular series of Programming By Stealth, and yet it's not technically very "light" in terms of the chit chatting. Since neither podcast is the right place for it, I've decided to put it in both podcast feeds to be wrong twice. Bart walks us through how to create Quick Actions with Automator (also known as Services) to do some simple but very useful tex...
CCATP #627 Robin Christopherson on Advancements in Tech for Accessibility
February 26, 2020 02:08 - 61.1 MBThis week we're joined by Robin Christopherson. Robin is the host of the Alexa skills podcast Dot to Dot and he’s co-host of the weekly Tech Talk show from the Royal National Institute of Blind People. Robin is also Head of Digital Inclusion and part of the globally-acclaimed accessibility and tech team of AbilityNet and has spoken at numerous events in recent years. Oh yeah, he’s also blind. Robin tells us about how the advancements in technology have made such a huge difference in the li...
CCATP #626 — Bart Busschots on PBS 91 of X — JavaScript RE Objects
February 23, 2020 00:46 - 1 hour - 87 MBBart takes us through the penultimate hat JavaScript wears and that's Regular Expressions. Luckily since we haven't talked about REs in ages, he reminds us of the syntax for Regular Expressions literals in JavaScript first and then he takes us through three common uses for Regular Expressions. We joked around during this episode at how many times I said, "That makes sense!" Bart said it was music to his ears, and I say this was a very intuitive lesson considering how arcane Regular Expressi...
CCATP #625 — Tom on the Internet on Teaching Himself to Program
February 11, 2020 03:33 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBTom Steven, aka Tom on the Internet from [tomontheinternet.com/...](https://tomontheinternet.com/) joins me to tell the tail of how he went from knowing zero about programming to landing a full-time job as a web developer in two years of self-training. Then he talks about the things that surprised him that he learned as a developer in that first year. In listening to Tom, you'll feel like he's not extraordinary and like maybe you could do this too. That is, if you're willing to put the tim...
CCATP #624 — Bart Busschots on PBS 90 of X — JavaScript Wrapper Objects
February 09, 2020 02:06 - 44 minutes - 40.8 MBHope you enjoyed getting the little extra Tidbits episode this week. In this installment Bart continues our on-going mini-series looking at each of the proverbial hats JavaScript objects wear. Bart explains the concept of JavaScript wrapper objects that allow you to access properties of otherwise property-less primitives. It's pretty magical and I only got lost for a little while as we brushed the cobwebs off my memories of prototypes and such. Bart's shownotes for this episode can be fou...
PBS Tidbit 1 of Y — Display Values are not Data!
February 09, 2020 01:41 - 13 minutes - 12.6 MBBart explains how alert listener @lbutlr on Twitter found a mistake in Bart's math and he walks through how he figured out what was wrong and what we can all learn from it. Bart's explanation can be found here: bartbusschots.ie/...
CCATP #623 — Lila Brissette on Accessibility from a Young Person's Perspective
January 31, 2020 01:55 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBWhile we were in Las Vegas for CES, we carved out some time to have dinner with our good friend, JF Brissette, who is also the editor of all of my videos for ScreenCastsOnline. He brought his daughter Lila to dinner and she started talking to me about her journey of discovery into accessibility on Apple devices. I asked her to come on the show to talk about her perspective on accessibility as a young person without any disabilities. She's delightful and intelligent and I really enjoyed see...
CCATP #622 — Bart Busschots on PBS 89 of X — Currency Converter Challenge
January 26, 2020 21:53 - 1 hour - 72.8 MBIn this week's installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart explains his new plan for both the content of PBS and the way the shownotes are created and presented to you. Bart has noticed that because we put a challenge solution and new content into the same show, the solution gets short changed. That's a shame because there is so much he can teach by explaining the "whys" behind his design of his solutions. The new plan is to have the challenge solutions be standalone shows, and then the n...

CCATP #620 — Eleanor Mazzarella on Moving from Musician to Programmer
December 31, 2019 16:49 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBThis week we're joined by Eleanor Mazzarella, a musician turned programmer. She gives us her background in music from finding a clarinet on a bookshelf as a child to a career as a classical performer. She then walks us through how and why she decided that programming sounded like more fun. She's a funny, delightful storyteller as she weaves in her love of the arts with her love of everything nerdy.
CCATP #619 — Bart Busschots on PBS 88 of X — DOM & jQuery Objects Redux
December 15, 2019 02:25 - 1 hour - 102 MBBart is nearing the end of his mini-series recapping al of the different hats JavaScript objects wear, doing a lot of redux to cement the concepts that have been spread over so many lessons. He takes a really interesting approach this week to his teaching. He explains a concept and then instead of having a contrived example, he shows us exactly how that concept works in action in his homework solution from PBS 85. His solution to the homework assignment is, of course, beautiful and elegant...
CCATP #618 – Adam Engst on Success of Macs at IBM
December 06, 2019 20:58 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBAdam Engst, veteran author of TidBITS for the last 29 years, inventor of Internet advertising and someone who dresses appropriately for the weather joins us for this episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond. Adam explains the fascinating results that IBM has reported since they first decided to give their employees the choice of whether to use a Mac or Windows. I'm afraid this discussion will cement any EVER so slight Apple bias you might have already had, because the statistically-significant...
CCATP #617 – Bart Busschots on PBS 87 of X — JavaScript Iterators Objects & Generator Functions
December 01, 2019 02:25 - 1 hour - 53.9 MBI'm not going to lie, this episode of Programming By Stealth with Bart Busschots was a bit head bendy. Bart explains JavaScript Iterator Objects and Generator functions but without his excellent examples I'm certain I would never have been able to get the concepts to even slightly congeal in my brain. Iterator Objects and Generator functions are some of the joys of ES6 and have great value. That value is demonstrated in the succinctness of the code Bart writes for us to create a Fibonacci...
CCATP #616 — Don McAllister on Automating ScreenCastsOnline
November 18, 2019 23:42 - 1 hour - 32 MBThis week I asked Don McAllister, owner of ScreenCastsOnline to come on the show to talk about how he automates the production of his video tutorial podcast business. We start at his humble beginnings as a new convert from Windows with a Mac mini and a monitor, up to and including a global workforce with automated workflows. He's even moved his Mac Pro into MacStadium so it's a resource for his back end production folks. I must do a disclaimer that I do screencasts for Don's show, which ...
CCATP #615 – PBS 86 of X — JavaScript Function Objects (Redux & Update)
November 15, 2019 06:00 - 1 hour - 29.9 MBThis week Bart Busschots takes us back through JavaScript function objects, explaining the three different ways to define a function. It was great to have them all together to refresh our memory. He explains how only one method is hoisted, which lead him to explain the medieval history reference of "hoisted by your own petard". There was a part where he talks about wearing tutu, but Only a podcast with Bart could go that route! We went from there to function scope and enjoyed some time go...
CCATP #614 – Ken Case of Omni Group on His Computing Life Story
November 07, 2019 02:27 - 1 hour - 30.4 MBThis week's Chit Chat Across the Pond is really special. It's an interview with Ken Case, the CEO of Omnigroup. We don't actually talk much about his current work, but rather start back with how he went to college when he was only 13 years old at the University of Washington. He takes us on the fascinating journey of technology that lead him to work for Steve Jobs's NeXT computer company and how it changed his view of what computing could be. It's a wonderful story filled with super geeky d...
CCATP #613 – Bart Busschots on PBS 85 of X — Objects as Arrays in JavaScript (Redux & Update)
November 03, 2019 14:19 - 1 hour - 37.7 MBBart continues his redux and new information by circling back through Objects as Arrays in JavaScript. I don't know about you, but I get a lot out of the redux episodes because it cements in place concepts that were a bit wiggly before he goes through it again. The one new concept he goes through is Array Destructuring which sounds ominous and destructive but which allows us to dive into arrays and create new and more interesting arrays. Bart also debuts a new way he's providing the conte...
CCATP #560 – Ray Robertson on Impact of Apple's Development Process on Developers
October 24, 2019 19:39 - 59 minutes - 27.1 MBThis week we're joined by returning guest Ray Robertson, well-known AppleScript guru and general all around automator. Ray joins me to talk about the increased challenges developers faced working with Apple. It's no secret that iOS 13 and iPad OS 13 have been problematic on their own, but the betas and final delivery of macOS Catalina has also produced huge problems for developers. Ray says he's no expert, but he tries to get into some of the details of the modifications Apple has introdu...

CCATP #611 – Bart Busschots on PBS 84 of X – Objects as Dictionaries in JavaScript (Redux & Update)
October 20, 2019 14:21 - 1 hour - 38.1 MBBart has been noticing that there are a few key features in JavaScript that haven't ever really congealed for me and is circling back in hopes of firming them up. The other reason he's going over these topics is that new options have been created since we first covered them. The first of these subjects is objects as dictionaries. I confessed to him recently that I've never successfully done a for loop on my own yet, so we slow down a bit during that part but we speed up again into what ar...
CCATP #610 - Bart Busschots on PBS 83 of X Bootstrap Cards
October 05, 2019 01:11 - 1 hour - 32.1 MBBart finishes up our first exploration of Bootstrap 4 with a look at one its most versatile components, the so-called Card. This is one of those components that’s so generic it’s hard to describe, but once you learn about it you’ll start seeing it all over the web. Cards really are ubiquitous! It’s important to stress that while we’re wrapping up our exploration of Bootstrap 4 with this installment, that does not mean we’ve come close to covering every feature this impressive library offers....
CCATP #609 – Bart Busschots on PBS 82 of X – Async & Await
September 21, 2019 02:15 - 1 hour - 42.6 MBWe're back after a summer hiatus (where Bart was working too hard) with a new installment where we attempt to dust off Allison's brain and learn about two new promise-related keywords, async and await. Both of these keywords were actually added to the core JavaScript language, so this doesn't happen that often. With async and await, we can actually get away from doing promise chains and create much more readable code while still being able to control parallel and in series tasks. Bart had...
CCATP #608 – Doug Ingram on Nightscape Photography
September 15, 2019 22:55 - 53 minutes - 24.6 MBDoug Ingram joins us to talk about what he calls Nightscape Photography, which is a combination of astral photography (photographing the stars) and photographing of the surrounding landscape. His photographs of the Milky Way with the landscape are absolutely breathtaking. Doug explains his gear, the settings on his camera and the surprisingly little he does to edit his photos after the shoot. He also talks to how far he's willing to drive in a single night to capture these amazing shots. ...
CCATP #607 – Bart Busschots's Podcast Recommendations
September 08, 2019 23:36 - 1 hour - 34.8 MBIn this week's episode of Chit Chat Across the Pond Bart Busschots joins us to talk about how he arranges his podcast listening, how he categorizes them and then what kinds of shows he likes. Bart listens to around 6 hours of podcasts per _day_ so this is quite a long list. He purposely didn't include the usual suspects that he's talked about often before. That means that you are bound to learn about some shows you've never heard of and might enjoy. There are TONS of links to every show in ...
CCATP #606 — Bart Busschots on DoH and DoT
September 01, 2019 01:51 - 1 hour - 29.4 MBIn this "Lite" version of Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart answered Scott Fairclough's request to explain DoH and DoT. It's super nerdy and really interesting. First Bart gives us a full refresher on exactly what DNS is (and I needed that refresher. Then he explains the problems with DNS from a security and privacy point of view. Then he walks us through how DoH, aka DNS over TLS and DoH, aka DNS over https (which is actually http over TLS) will start protecting us in the future (and in som...
CCATP #605 — Sandy Foster on CarPlay and Prius Prime Tech
August 17, 2019 19:37 - 45 minutes - 20.9 MBIn this week's episode, Sandy Foster, aka @MacQuilter joins me to talk about why CarPlay is so awesome and how it influenced her decision to buy the top-of-the-line Prius, called Prius Prime. We also talk about the new tech in the Prius Prime including the fact that it's not just a gas/electric hybrid, it's also a full electric vehicle for short-range driving. You can follow Sandy online at sandymike.net and find her in the NosillaCast Live chat room and the Podfeet Slack @Sandy. allison...
CCATP #604 - Bart Busschots on Tech of Buying a Mountain/City Bike
August 11, 2019 20:43 - 1 hour - 47.9 MBBart Busschots joins us to talk about the technology decisions that go into buying a bike these days. I thought I knew about bikes, but I learned a lot about what's changed just in the last five years. In the blog post, we have a video where Bart walks around his bike and points out each of the things he talked about in the recording: Bart's video showing the bike components [email protected] podfeet.com/patreon podfeet.com/slack podfeet.com/facebook podfeet.com/amazon

July 25, 2019 01:04 - 41 minutes - 19.9 MBThis week our guest is Laura Kane, CFA, CPA, Head of Investment Themes Americas for UBS. Laura specializes in something called Sustainable Investing for UBS. As part of her research she has written several articles about investing through a gender lens. I've asked Laura to come on, not to talk about investing per se, but rather what she has discovered about the impact women have on the success of a company. Here's a link to the research we discuss in the interview: ubs.com/...
CCATP #602 - Bart Busschots on PBS 81 of X – The JavaScript Promise Utilities
July 13, 2019 02:04 - 1 hour - 27.8 MBIn this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart teaches us how to use Promises, with a capital P to get promises when we already know the value we want to supply. That sounds funny but it will make sense in context. Then he shows us how we can control parallelization of promises using Promise.all(). It's a very sensible lesson, and not brain bendy at all. (I really like those.) Please consider supporting Bart's hard work for us via Patreon at patreon.com/ltpod Bart's fabulous tutoria...
CCATP #601 – Dr. Maryanne Garry on Why Science is Broken
July 08, 2019 21:49 - 40 minutes - 19.9 MBDr. Garry, self-proclaimed Crusher of Dreams, joins us again on Chit Chat Across the Pond, this time to talk about how she thinks science is broken and why. Dr. Garry is a professor of Psychology at the University of Waikato, and also professor of the NZ institute of Security & Crime Science. In this episode, she takes on the topic of how science journals choose which papers should be published, and the flaws she sees in that process that cause the extraordinary claims to be published, rath...

Dr. Polaschek is the Joint Director of the New Zealand Institute for Security and Crime Science at the University of Waikato. I will further embarrass her by mentioning that she was recently awarded with a Queen's Birthday honour (as in Queen Elizabeth). Dr. Polaschek has has been made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to criminal psychology. In this interview, we talk about Devon's work with imprisoned psychopaths and h...

CCATP #597 — Bart Busschots on PBS 80 of X — JavaScript Promise Chains
June 15, 2019 02:35 - 1 hour - 48.4 MBBart Busschots (successfully) explains the concept of JavaScript promise chains. It's a rough ride because of the subject itself, but he gets us there through his care and detail in explaining the concepts and of course his great examples. When he's done, you'll know how to chain promises together, you'll understand what data is passed through, and you'll understand why he says, "Don't have unhandled rejections, it's just not nice." You can find Bart's detailed shownotes at bartbusschots.i...
CCATP #596 — Anže Tomić on Tech in Slovenia
June 08, 2019 20:38 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBThis week on Chit Chat Across the Pond I had the great pleasure of talking to Slovenian tech podcaster, Anže Tomić. Anže also works for RTV Slovenia's Val 202 public radio, and as he says on his website, he sounds like an Eastern European Bond villain. He's also a writer for the most read Slovene tech magazine Monitor (think PC/Macworld in Slovene.) We talked all over the tech map from net neutrality, to the lack of spam calls in Slovenia, to Internet speeds, to his love of the old Nokia ha...
