Stackd 45. In Isolation and Self-quarantine!

The Stackd Podcast

Oh my, staying in isolation is tough! But that didn't stop the crew of Stackd to record the latest news in the full-stack space! From UI (Angular 9 is released!), to JavaFX 14, and Micronaut 1.3, there has been a lot of new things to play with!

Then we follow the crew as we dive into "Developer Happiness" and what does it mean when programming (those pesky null checks and guards are definitively a source of 'unhappiness'). So while practicing social distancing, stay a while listening to our new episode of Stackd!
