This week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:\xa0 Hello friends.CHUCK:\xa0 Joe Eames.JOE:\xa0 Hey there.CHUCK:\xa0 I\u2019m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. We\u2019ve also got two special guests and that is Fred Zirdung.FRED:\xa0 Hello.CHUCK:\xa0 Did I totally butcher that?FRED:\xa0 Yeah, you got it right.CHUCK:\xa0 Okay. And Marcus Phillips.MARCUS:\xa0 Hi everybody.CHUCK:\xa0 Since you guys haven't been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourself? We\u2019ll have Marcus go first.MARCUS:\xa0 Sure. I'm Marcus Phillips. I'm a JavaScript enthusiast. I've been in it for a long time. Really excited about framework architecture and lately, all about teaching what I've learned over the course of time that I've been working in the Bay Area and working on the frontend of Twitter and things like that. Nowadays, I teach at Hack Reactor full time which is an immersive school for learning to become a developer over a period of three months.JAMISON:\xa0 Cool.CHUCK:\xa0 And which technologies do you teach at Hack Reactor?MARCUS:\xa0 We use JavaScript as our teaching language. Fundamentally, what we\u2019re trying to do is teach people software engineering principles. So, JavaScript just turns out to be one of the most useful languages we can use to do that. But from there, we kind of want to give people practical skills that they can use immediately on the job. So, we definitely drive the entire curriculum out of GitHub repos and teach them some practical things like Backbone and Node and deployment strategies. So yeah, we kind of cover the gambit from frontend to backend with a focus on JavaScript in particular.CHUCK:\xa0 Awesome. That sounds really cool.JOE:\xa0 Yeah, it does.MARCUS:\xa0 It\u2019s a lot of fun.CHUCK:\xa0 Fred,Special Guests: Fred Zirdung and Marcus Phillips.
