  <description>It may be our geekiest podcast yet as we somehow chat about the new Span and Memory value types in C# 7.2 and all the optimized goodness that they bring to .NET applications!

  <description>It is 2018 and we are so over Linked Files, Portable Class Libraries, or Shared Projects cluttering up our libraries. In fact we only need ONE project to target every platform that .NET supports. It is time to multi-target the world! We take a look at this awesome new feature and tell you what it is all about and why you would want to use it. We also take a look at some of the gotchas right now to help you make the choice to make the big switch or not.

  <description>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.

  <description>C# and F# and Go! Oh my! There are just so many lovely programming languages to learn, but where to start? This week we take a look at what worked for us and what didn’t. James has recently been trying to wrap his head around F#, a functional programming language, and it just hasn’t stuck yet. Maybe because he uses C# all day, or the change from  procedural to functional? We tackle all these topics and more on this week's Merge Conflict.
