1. Pre-production

It interests me in how many combinations of pre-prod environments exist, as I (naively) expected this to be standardized, but it's not (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deployment_environment#Environ... ). I can see the need for two vs four environments for handling different stages of the life-cycle depending on business needs (and budget). Addressing how to choose the right set of environments for a given company/product would be useful.

I also want to say that your product is phenomenal and it has improved the quality of our shop's build and deploy pipeline by an order of magnitude. Thank you.

I've been doing a lot of driving this year, and dotnetrocks has been one of my staples.

What surprised me the most once I started listening was that I was expecting a very Microsoft focused show because of the name, but that ended up being only partly true. There are just as many shows that are are focused on developer tools, javascript, and the industry in general as there are shows that deal with .NET technologies. Not to mention the geek-out shows which just dive into random areas of tech and science. I really like the breadth of topic. It's in a sweet spot for me.

I'd love to find another show that has a similar scope but focuses on another language or area of technology, since it would both keep my interest while giving me familiarity with a whole other area of programming. I haven't found one yet, but maybe skimming through the lists posted here will reveal one.
