Episode 119 - Sketch Notes

Show Notes

In this episode we talk about a better way to take notes using Sketch notes with Ian Johnson.

Ian has been a software developer for almost 20 years, and his passion for learning has not diminished.
You can often find him at conferences, enjoying the talks, the conversations and sometimes even giving a talk himself.

He has worked on projects from financial management software on the desktop, to back-end exam processing software, to consumer websites, and developer tools in both start-ups and well established companies.
