Customer Reviews
Best Development Podcast
This is the best development podcast around. Down to earth discussions. Highly recommended for any .NET developer.
Great Mix of Content
What I especially love about Herding Code compared to some of the other .NET podcasts is the mix of guest interviews with personal conversations and opinions from the hosts. It seems like the same guests can rotate from podcast to podcast, but Herding Code always seems to have a fresh take. Definately check it out.
Very good show
I look forward to each new episode. They usually invite interesting guests and for the most part don't hold back when asking questions or giving their opinions. Highly recommended for any .Net developer looking to learn about new technologies and methodologies. Also, their occasional snarky remarks are pretty funny.
