Why did we start this show?
At the core, we have a passion for teaching.
James is a content creator and boot camp instructor. Amy has taught and developed some curriculum for the University of Florida’s Master’s program. Bekah taught college English for 10 years.
There are podcasts that focus on web development and podcasts that focus on web development, but few, if any, account for both.
You don’t have to know code to be a good designer. You don’t have to know design in order to be a good developer. But, the best designers and the best developers have a basic understanding of both disciplines.
