Alvin Ashcraft has over 27 years of programming experience in the healthcare, financial, and manufacturing industries. He is a Content Developer for Microsoft, creating docs for Windows developers on Microsoft Docs.

Topics of Discussion:

[3:18] How Alvin got started with his blog, and how blogging made RSS a thing.

[5:48] What exactly does NewsBlur do for you?

[10:10] Are we overstating it when we say that people who work in development need to become expert users of all the frameworks and tools they intend to use?

[12:20] Alvin talks about the inspiration behind his new book, and why he chose parallel programming and concurrency as the topics.

[16:35] Okay, what is it really like having TechBash at the beautiful Kalahari resort?

[22:00] What does the future hold for Windows development?

[24:03] How else can we best be prepared for the future?
