This episode we delve into data types and arrays!  We discuss the life & death need to document your code, and bemoan our own experiences working with bad code.

We include a few “best practice” discussion topics in this weeks episode as well, but  you can look forward to an even more in-depth discussion on best practices both before, and during your development cycle.
