Managing Code Quality with Anne Cahalan

On this episode of Labs Live!, Dan and Tobi discuss Server-side Swift with Anne Cahalan, Developer at Detroit Labs.

On this episode of Labs Live!, Dan and Tobi discuss Server-side Swift with Anne Cahalan, Developer at Detroit Labs.

Server-side Swift

In this episode, I interviewed Anne Cahalan. Anne is an iOS developer at Detroit Labs, where she is constantly delighted by the niftiness of Swift. Anne told us her story. From the Bootcamp she went to and the apprenticeship program she followed, up to her "moving out" of "Junior-Developerness" and all its implications. We finally touched on the topic of mid-career development, which was the topic of her talk at the London SPA-Conference where we met.Here are the links of the show:http://twitter.com/northofnormalhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/annecahalanhttps://www.detroitlabs.comCreditsMusic Something Elated by Broke For Free (CC BY 3.0)Your hostSoftware Developer‘s Journey is hosted and produced by Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon, a crazy frenchman living in Germany who dedicated his life to helping others learn &amp; grow.
