Hear the dulcet tones of Corey Quinn

On this Screaming in the Cloud Replay, Corey is joined by Microsoft’s current Vice President of Developer Community, Scott Hanselman. They talk about how Scott is selling enthusiasm around free and open source software to empower the next generation of programmers, how technology can help you escape a suboptimal position in life, moving a blog that was hosted on a Windows Server 2008 server to Azure, using TikTok to encourage younger folks to get into coding, why there isn’t a wrong programming language to learn and why you should learn JavaScript, how the rise of SaaS and cloud computing has made Microsoft a “simpler” company, convincing banks to use open source in the 2000s, and more.

On this Screaming in the Cloud Replay, Corey is joined by James Governor, co-founder of RedMonk. In this throwback, they discuss how RedMonk is different from traditional analyst firms. You’ll also learn how Corey and James met, how James credentialed Corey as a bona fide industry analyst on Twitter, and how anyone can be an analyst in theory. Beyond that, James explains the mindset required to give advice as an analyst, what attracted him to becoming an analyst in the first place, and why RedMonk focuses on the qualitative instead of the quantitative.
