We tackle a listener submitted topic this week of how we make decisions between performance, frameworks, and convenience when building applications. It is an interesting question when choosing a framework or library and their trade-offs.
\n\nFrank sees it a bit differently than James does when building apps. We look at how we have built apps from our present, past, and future when we look at developer productivity.

We get a little crazy this week and dive into three topics that we know almost nothing about. First up is a little web development for Ghost with gulp, handlebars, and sass. Then we dive into more machine learning with ML.NET and wrap up with our new favorite way to read in streams with Pipelines. To be honest, we do know something about them and think they are super cool, so you should check them out.

We are back to talk architecture with MVVM, that is right Model-View-ViewModel, and all of the awesome stuff that comes along for the ride with the fantastic frameworks available. Before we talk about those frameworks, we go through why we love MVVM itself, what it is, how to use it, and why it is not just data binding. We take a look at popular frameworks and how to use MVVM with no framework at all. So sit back and get ready for architecture!

To create design time data or not to create design time data, that is the question? Or is it better to mock out all of your interfaces or say heck let's code straight to the API end points? When you are developing a large project and desire the "blendability", what approach is best to take, and what works well with design time tools like Blend and the Xamarin Live Player? We discuss all this and more on this week's episode.

DevOps, that is right Developer Operations, all the things that you don't want to do manually, so you automate them! This week we talk about build, test, and deploy for all of your mobile applications and .NET libraries. As solo developers it all seemed like a pipe dream to have everything magically happen when we committed code to GitHub, but the services available streamline the entire process. Frank and James walk through not only their solo DevOps solutions, but what it means when you start working on a team with serious applications.

It's everyone's favorite topic... TESTING! That's right we tackle the world of unit testing, code coverage, user interface testing, acceptance testing, and so much more. Even though Frank and James are solo developers and there may not always be time to write a full suite of unit tests, that doesn't mean they don't dream of 100% code coverage. What does that even mean though? Does that mean your app will be flawless? Where do you get started and what should be your goals? We discuss on this week's show.

Is 3D printing poised to change how we prototype and build parts and full machines or is it just another toy? Both Frank and James have been long time 3D printing advocates and with prices coming down to consumer friendly levels it seems like it is a great time to jump in. However, as James just recently experienced it may still be early days filled with tons of headaches and thrown away print failures. We discuss the past, present, and future of 3D printing on this week's Merge Conflict.
