Control Structure

Control Structure (abbreviated CS) is a podcast about computer science, programming, administration, and all kinds of cool software and hardware stuff like that. Every week, wizened industry veterans Andrew Bailey and Christopher Thompson discuss relevant news, experiences, opinions, tips, tricks, questions, and maybe teach the young'uns a thing or two.
