He “grew up” learning Java, went down the Ruby on Rails path, all the while doing custom PHP development. WordPress made sense because he loved how the eco-system of the backend is, but more importantly the community around it. Being a part of the community is great! He’s a co-host on a monthly podcast, centered around WordPress development called WP Dev Table and try and give back to this great community in any way I can.</p> </div> <div class="podcast-chapters"> <h6>Chapters:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="#!"> - Dave introduces the show and Jason Resnick</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jason's definition of value</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The things that "light Jason up"</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - How Jason got started writing software</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The origin of Jason podcasting and how WP Dev Table started</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The rewards of podcasting</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jason's story of failure, burnout and too much diversity</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jason's greatest success story, the right priorities, learning from mistakes</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - How Jason stays current with what he needs to know</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jason's book recommendation</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The things that have Jason most excited about his present and future</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The greatest sources of pain in Jason's life and work, the conflicting priorities of trying to scale his business</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jason's prediction for the future of software</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - The things about which Jason likes to geek out apart from software</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Jason's top 3 tips for delivering more value</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Keeping up with Jason</a></li> <li><a href="#!"> - Farewell</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="podcast-resources"> <h6>Resources:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="http://rezzz.com/" target="_blank">Jason's Site and Blog</a></li> <li><a href="http://wpdevtable.com/" target="_blank">WP Dev Table - Jason's Podcast</a></li> <li><a href="http://collider.com/back-to-the-future-2-2015-predictions-that-came-true/#hoverboards" target="_blank">What Back To The Future: Part 2 Gets Right About 2015</a></li> <li><a href="https://central.wordcamp.org/" target="_blank">Wordcamp Central</a></li> <li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/" target="_blank">WordPress Json REST API</a></li> <li><a href="http://developeronfire.com/Podcast/Episodes/gary-pendergast-making-and-breaking-things-great-power-and-responsibility" target="_blank">Gary Pendergast on Developer On Fire</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Jarvis" target="_blank">Edwin Jarvis in the Iron Man story</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.hanselman.com/blog/DoTheyDeserveTheGiftOfYourKeystrokes.aspx" target="_blank">Limited Keystrokes</a></li> <li><a href="http://developeronfire.com/blog/real-teams-and-real-contributors" target="_blank">Dave's Blog post on teams in the real world</a></li> </ul> <h6>Jason's book recommendation:</h6> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002MUAJ2A/?tag=devonfir-20" target="_blank">Rework - Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson</a></li> </ul> <h6>Jason's Top 3 Tips for Delivering More Value:</h6> <ol> <li>Be straightforward and honest with people</li> <li>Be genuine</li> <li>Be a part of your community</li> </ol> </div> </div>
