Check out some of Sam’s appearances on other podcasts.

  • SE Radio 639: Cody Ebberson on Regulated Industries

    Cody Ebberson, CTO of Medplum, joins host Sam Taggart to discuss the constraints that working in regulated industries add to the software development process. They explore some general aspects of developing for regulated industries, such as medical and finance, as well as a range of specific considerations that can add complexity and effort. Cody describes how translating regulatory requirements into test specifications and automating those tests can help streamline software development in these regulated environments. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

  • SE Radio 629: Emily Bache on the Importane of Practice

    Emily Bache, founder of the Samman Technical Coaching Society and author of several books about technical agile coaching, talks with SE Radio host Sam Taggart about katas and the importance of practice. They discuss how practicing in a safe environment helps developers to learn new skills and build new habits. They also talk about how Samman coaching combines this sort of deliberate practice with applying the lessons learned in practice to the production code base. They also touch briefly on the advantages of working in an ensemble fashion.

  • SE Radio 599: Jason McDonald on Quantified Tasks

    Jason C. McDonald, author of the book Dead Simple Python, speaks with host Samuel Taggart about leveraging quantified tasks to improve estimation, particularly across projects. They discuss the origin of the concept and its relationship with story points, and Jason offers examples to show how quantified tasks can capture nuances in software tasks that are often lost with story points. He also points to the ability to compare them across projects as a major advantage of quantified tasks. Among other topics, they also consider how to use quantified tasks to analyze the stability of a codebase. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine.

  • SE Radio 595: Llewelyn Falco on Approval Testing

    Llewelyn Falco, creator approval tests, talks with SE Radio host Sam Taggart about testing code in general and the various types of testing that developers perform. Llewelyn elaborates on how approval tests can help test code at a higher level than traditional unit tests. They also discuss using approval tests to help get legacy code under test.

  • Bug Hunters Cafe: Season 3, Episode 5

    It's an afternoon of new perspectives in the café, both from climbing the rock candy wall and chatting about LabVIEW. Climbing enthusiast and LabVIEW trainer Sam Taggart belays in to chat about both, and how code interacts with the messy real world.

  • SE Radio 587: M. Scott Ford on Managing Dependency Freshness

    M. Scott Ford, the CTO of Corgibytes and host of the Legacy Code Rocks podcast, discusses managing dependency freshness. SE Radio’s Sam Taggart speaks with him about why dependency freshness is important to ensure that your code has all the latest bug fixes, how exactly to measure dependency freshness, and some of the insights that teams can gain from monitoring freshness over time. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software Magazine.

  • Legacy Code Rocks: Episode 123

    We all strive to write an ideal code - easily readable, functional, and clean. We use many tools to achieve this. However, we often forget why we need our code to be tidy.

    Today we are talking with Samuel Taggart, President of GDevCon N.A. and the owner of SAS Workshops. Sam is a natural teacher, and he enjoys sharing what he learned with others. We talk with Sam about the tools and methods that make our code clean - refactoring, retrospectives, and style guides. While they are all meant to keep us and our code in check, we forget that these tools and methods also need to be under control. Sam reminds us of a crucial question that will help us do just that.

  • LabVIEW Champions Interviews: Part 5

    Welcome to the interesting conversation with Sam Taggart. Sam is a LabVIEW Champion from Denver, United States. He is also a Certified LabVIEW Architect and Certified Professional Instructor.

  • Sweetcode: Developers Eating the World

    Don't think for a second that DevOps has boundaries, becasue it doesn't. I sat down with Sam Taggart to talk about how DevOps can be used with enterprise and client/server development environments like LabView.

  • The DMQH Podcast: Episode 4

    Introducing Sam Taggart from SAS Workshops. Sam speaks to us about all things DQMH, his Do's and Don'ts of DQMH guidelines, and how he runs his DQMH workshops, as well as other software engineering topics like unit testing. I hope you enjoy this episode.

  • The DMQH Podcast: Episode 11

    In Episode 11, we talk to two of GDevCon N.A. directors - Jeff DeBuhr and Sam Taggart. First up, we hear from Jeff about how DQMH is helping his organization manage their large array of Data Acquisition / Measurement systems, and how he brings up interns and young engineers on learning DQMH. Then we hear from Sam about his upcoming 2-day DQMH workshop in October. This workshop is an add-on to the GDevCon N.A. conference. Finally Jeff and Sam give us an overview of what one can expect at GDevCon N.A., to be hosted in Boulder Colorado on 20&21 October 2021, and how it will be great to re-connect with the LabVIEW community after such a long hiatus.
