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.

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 […]

When Currency Rate Decimals Go Wrong
Problem to be solved My Currency Conversion Web App (work-in-progress) I’m not entirely sure that this subject belongs in the NosillaCast but Bart was quite insistent that I write it up, so here I go.

Hope you enjoyed getting the little extra Tidbits episode this week. In this installment Bart continues our on-going mini-series looking at each of the proverbial hats JavaScript objects wear. Bart explains the concept of JavaScript wrapper objects that allow you to access properties of otherwise property-less primitives. It’s pretty magical and I only got lost […]

This is not a normal episode of Programming By Stealth, it’s what Bart Busschots is calling a PBS Tidbit. Listener @lbutlr pointed out to Bart and me on Twitter that Bart’s math was wrong in his solution to the challenge he posted in PBS 89. The assignment was to produce currency exchange rates for a […]
