We continue our mini-series within a series learning the version control system Git. We learn two methods to enhance our branching strategy. First, we’ll walk through some basic principles on how to number our released versions of our code. From there we’ll explore three types of changes that would cause a change in our release […]

CCATP #665 – Bart Busschots on PBS 108 of X — Merging & Tagging
In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart Busschots continues on his series within a series explaining the version control system Git. We advance in our branching strategy by working several commits on our dev branch and then learn to use a merge commit to bring only the final commit into the main branch, leaving […]

This week in our miniseries on learning the version control system Git, Bart dips our proverbial toe into branching. Branches allow us, as developers, to work on bugs or feature enhancements in a separate place from our stable code, and only merge the code back in when the bugs are squashed or the features are […]

In this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart takes us on a time traveling adventure with Git. By using commands like git diff we can see changes over time, but we can actually see older versions of the code in a couple of ways. Using the archive command we learned out to pull just the […]

In our last Programming By Stealth we learned about the concept of version control, and the evolution from client/server version control to peer-to-peer version control and the creation of Git. In this installment we start learning the fundamental concepts of Git. We learn about the database, the working copy, and the index and understanding the […]

Designing My Time Shifter Clock
My Time Shifter Clock In Programming By Stealth with Bart Busschots we just passed a big milestone, not only reaching 100 episodes, but we also completed the section on learning JavaScript. Our final project for this phase was to create a web app with a very specific kind of clock on it. I had so […]

Hi, Programming By Stealth listeners! I wanted to let you know that Bart and I are taking a bit of a break from Programming By Stealth, the need for which happens every summer but for some reason catches us both unawares each year. Bart works in education and the summertime is the only practical time […]

CCATP #643 – Bart Busschots on PBS 99 of X – Building with Classes Part 2: Is-A
This week Bart Busschots brings us the penultimate JavaScript installment of Programming By Stealth as he brings us part 2 of building with classes. This wraps up our third look at Object Oriented programming in JavaScript. We learn about the concept of inheritance, and how it allows us to build classes that inherit attributes and […]

I’m a Real Developer
When I started to learn to program from Bart Busschots in October of 2015 with Programming By Stealth, I didn’t really have the vision to understand what that would mean. I don’t think I expected really to be able to do the things I can do today. Caleb Fong tipped us off in our PBS […]

In this episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart explains one single concept, that of “Has-A”. This is part 1 of 2, where next time we’ll learn “Is-A” which is about inheritance. These both sound like odd terms but they’re part of what makes object oriented programming so powerful. Bart spends 90% of the time going […]
