In this episode, Hallway Conversations chats at length with Ben Hoelting about the relationship between C# and JavaScript in today’s software development landscape.

If you’re a C# developer, how much JavaScript do you need to learn (and vice-versa)?  Is there any longer such a thing as a “full-stack developer”, equally capable of handling both client and server design and development responsibilities?  Tune in to this episode to find out the answers to (or at least opinions on) these and other challenging aspects of developing software solutions in an increasingly complex world!
