I would like to recommend a group of podcasts that are hosted by Charles Max Wood. They are all similar in format – a panel of people that can change from show to show discussing development topics. You can find them all at DevChat.tv. I have not listened to all of the podcasts he hosts, but based on the ones I do listen to, they are all recommended.
Here are the ones that I do listen to:
- The Ruby Rogues is the first podcast of his I started listening to. I was interested in learning more about Ruby, but quite a few of these are good general developer oriented podcasts that would be beneficial even if you don’t use Ruby.
- Javascript Jabber, as you can guess from the title, is JavaScript focused. A lot of these are focused on various JavaScript libraries.
- The Freelancer’s Show is targeted to consultants and freelancers. Some of the shows are focused on good development strategies or habits to develop. I think this is valuable as well.
Chuck also has 3 more podcasts that I don’t have time to listen to, but check them out if they are of interest to you. I find all of these help me stay up-to-date with development trends.
