SaturdayMP Show 100: PostCast Part 15 (LinkedIn Company Setup)

Our 100th episode! Not the episode we wanted as we forgot we needed to register with @linkedin to post messages as a company and then struggle to figure out how to handle multiple dialog forms in Fyne.

That said, a janky 100th episode fits with the theme of the SaturdayMP Show where we show our struggles and warts beside our successes.

Thank you to YouTube for letting me post these long videos for free. I know they make money of ads and other data, but it’s still nice of them.

SaturdayMP Show #97: PostCast Part 14 (Slack Integration Working)

Happy Star Wars Day! In this live episode Omar and myself get the Slack integration working. At least a ruff draft of it that still needs some clean-up. We also discuss the lower level networking details like ports and sockets.

*PostCast is just a place holder name and might change. The goofy PostCast placeholder image was generated by ChatGPT and will likely change.

SaturdayMP Show #98: Custom Ping Client

In this live episode Omar and myself try to write a low-level C app that does a network ping. Omar really wanted the app to be in C, so you get to watch me struggle to remember C syntax and translate bytes, chars, etc.

We do an OK job of explaining networking but a better job of explaining hex and how numbers are represented by bits (base 2) and bit shifting.

SaturdayMP Show 96: PostCast Part 13 (Save Slack Token Using TDD)

In this live episode Omar and myself write and unit test the code for saving the Slack token to the keyring. We abandon using Testify mocks and instead add an in-memory setting for our credential manager. We also have a good discussion about test-driven development (TDD).
