This week Dave Lemphers was in New Zealand so it was a perfect opportunity to sit down and have a chat about life as a Developer Evangelist with Microsoft.  The general theme for the show was around the continual learning cycle that all developers have to engage with just to keep up with what is going on in the industry.  However we travelled a bumpy road discussing a range of technologies, thoughts and projects on the way.

And the show goes a little bit like this….[Listen to the Podcast]
