Hi, my name's Brett. I'm a principal software engineer with over 15 years of experience and enjoy making screencasts and resources for developers in my free time. I'm currently focused on Ruby, Rails, RSpec, TDD, and web components. I'm also learning Rust and enjoy dabbling with game programming.

My aim with the screencasts is to make it feel like we're coding together, which means there may be times where I stumble or get stuck. But, as in real life, we'll get past the problem and move forward.

A huge aspect of software development is continually learning and improving, so let's learn together!
