Episode 51: Alamusi

Alex and Drew open the show talking about bit about reasonable assumptions of how things are versus how they end up being in the real world, whether engineers should follow reasonable assumptions or test everything, how event storming and CQRS help deliver early prototypes quickly, the upcoming inaugural Vancouver Tech Meetup and an open-contribution style company, and go over the upcoming week of Meetups Around Town.

Our guest this week is Alamusi, organizer of the Ionic Vancouver and Tech and Startup Weekly (9Cat) Meetup Groups. We talk about developing cross platform apps using Ionic which uses Adobe PhoneGap and Apache Cordova frameworks versus other platforms such as Xamarin.
