This week on the Hello World Podcast I had the exceptional experience to interview one of my heroes. Charles Petzold’s books on Windows development was key in my development as a software engineer. I bought my copy back in the early ‘90s when I was doing C++ development. It’s amazing how much you can learn about how the Windows works by writing your own message pump. Take a listen and hear how this luminary got started!

The Hello World Podcast is where I get to talk with some of your favorite authors, developers and speakers about how they got started in software development.
