In this episode, we will be focusing on some topics related to front-end development. We went quickly through the history of single-page apps, their benefits, and limitations, the introduction of server-side rendering (Like Next.js), and the evolution of static site generators on top of these frameworks (Like Gatsby). We hope that this episode is a great welcome back and we are doing our best to be back to our weekly frequency. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Hello &amp; Welcome to the 24th episode from null++ podcast. We are back again with another very promising episode with Khaled Badawey, a software engineer from Amazon. As a follow up to the amazing thread Khaled wrote on Twitter last week (link in show notes 👇), this episode is a continuous elaboration on his thoughts on interview preparations &amp; tips as he recently did finish 100 interviews inside amazon. In this first part, we did focus with him on topics like:
When to start preparations.
How to make it to the interviews.
Different types and aspects of interviews.
What to expect in interviews if you are a senior/junior engineer.
Besides other topics. We really appreciate the effort that Khaled made in order to come up with this outline and we really believe that the information in this episode was both fruitful and enticing. We will release Part 2 from this interview (which will be sharply focused on how to prepare for those interviews) this Wednesday as a bonus episode. As usual, don&apos;t forget to subscribe to the podcast in your podcatcher, leave a review as it will really help others finding us, and subscribe to the podcast newsletter that we carefully curate some technical nuggets especially for you.</itunes:summary>

We hope that you enjoy this episode, tell us what do you think of the topic and what else you need to know about hiring.

      <itunes:summary>Hello and welcome to the 18th Episode from Null++ Podcast. In this episode, we have enjoyed the companionship of Amr Ragab, a software engineer working in Amazon Scotland. Considering this being part I from this discussion (Expect Part II to be as a bonus episode next Wednesday), we have talked with Amr About his journey so far, how did he manage to join Amazon after only a few months from having his degree in Computer Engineering from Cairo University back in 2016, how were the interviews, the technical shock that he experienced in his early days at Amazon, besides his opinion about the engineering culture in Amazon. We hope that you enjoy this episode as we did, also don&apos;t forget subscribing to the null++ podcast channel in the player you are using, leave a review if you find the content beneficial, and help us reach more people by sharing the episodes you love in social media.</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to the Thirteenth episode from null++ podcast. In this episode, we are happy to have Ahmed Essam ( A software engineer from Apple) with us. We will highlight Ahmed&apos;s career before joining apple, lessons learned from his old startup, his not so happy time in Germany, his time at Facebook and how several disappointments knocked him down for a while before regaining control. We will talk about some topics related to mental health, communication as a double-edged weapon, the power of hackathons,  and his take on being professional. As a disclaimer, we found the discussion too heavy and long to be fitted in one episode, hence we split it into two episodes, consider this as part one. We will be releasing the extended part from this episode this Wednesday as a Bonus episode. We hope that you enjoy this episode as we did, and don&apos;t forget to leave a review if you find the content valuable. Thank you :)</itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>Welcome to the first-month final episode from this podcast. We have dedicated this episode to answering the questions we have received earlier. Although we have done our best to answer the maximum number of questions we have received, however, unfortunately, we couldn&apos;t fit everything in this episode. Hence, we will keep the questions to be answered in next month&apos;s episode and try to use some of those questions to curate full episodes about certain topics.  Thank you and have a good time listening to this episode.</itunes:summary>
