Show overview
Software Developer Zone Podcast launched in 2017 and has put out 10 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 8 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 43 min and 50 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Technology show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 7.7 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2017, with 8 episodes published. Published by Larry Gray.
From the publisher
Arksoft is a web site that will provide content for Software Developers, specifically Java and Javascript Developers. Arksoft Podcast will be mostly discussions or talks about anything related to this technology. The first four are introductory to give the listener a very good overview of what Java Applications are, what goes on in the code blocks which are the engine and the software development process.
