Description

Len Wanger works on industrial 3D printers. And I was pleased to find out that
there's a bunch of Python in those printers as well.
In this episode we talk about:
3D printers
What are the different types of 3D printers?
Where are 3D printed industrial parts being used?
Why use one type of additive manufacturing over another?
Python in 3D printing hardware.
What are Finite State Machines, FSMs?
Benefits of FSMs for testing, logging, and breaking a complex behavior into
small testable parts.
Benefits of simulation in writing and testing software to control hardware.
Special Guest: Len Wanger.

Test & Code is a weekly podcast hosted by Brian Okken. The show covers a wide array of topics including software engineering, development, testing, Python programming, and many related topics. When we get into the implementation specifics, that's usually Python, such as Python packaging, tox, pytest, and unittest. However, well over half of the topics are language agnostic, such as data science, DevOps, TDD, public speaking, mentoring, feature testing, NoSQL databases, end to end testing, automation, continuous integration, development methods, Selenium, the testing pyramid, and DevOps.
