“Easily the podcast I check first for new episodes.
Frank is an Indy developer with amazing apps like iCircuit 3D and James is Mr Xamarin (a PM for Microsoft) with fingers in a lot of pies.
They both record regularly and their cadence is spot on (pun intended James 😏).
I do enjoy watching...”Read full review »

“Fun and educational podcast in a conversational format. James and Frank don’t lecture down to the listener, but talk through issues and compare and contrast approaches on how they solve relevant mobile development issues.

“Today I was re-listening to episode 8 while I was shopping for groceries. The hot tip in the section on the linker stopped me dead in my tracks and I dropped my basket — nothing broke. It seems obvious but I never thought of it.
Every episode is a joy to listen to and makes me a better developer.”

I enjoy the way Frank and James can be super opinionated about things but in a self-deprecating way that makes it totally ok. Opinions are important, after all that’s why I listen.”
