Most people think that time spent in traffic jams or on long
trips is kind of lost time, but now a lot of new things appeared to
make use of that “waiting” time. For IT-specialists the most
interesting and useful occupation will be podcasts.
Perhaps, in 2016, there is no need to explain what a podcast is.
In short – this is a series of author’s audio recordings,
distributed on the Internet, and it usually has a conditional
theme.
In other words, podcasting is a kind of analogue of the blog,
only in audio form – the author read aloud a text or writes down
the conversation of several participants, then processes it all,
eventually, to the form of an ordinary mp3-file that will be
listened to or streamed online, or downloaded on a computer or a
player
The advantage of it is that for podcasting you don’t need any
special equipment, so anyone can create their projects who have a
computer with a microphone and an interesting idea.
Let’s see what podcasts are there on IT-topics, which may be
interesting to professional audiences, both developers and
managers, system administrators and the rest of IT-specialists.
