Microsoft cloud development, without the gloss.
Code. Deploy. Go Live. follows Andrew Connell and Julie Turner through Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Azure, and JavaScript development from a working developer’s angle. The tone is loose and friendly, but the conversations get specific fast: toolkit releases, PnPjs internals, framework tradeoffs, and what actually hurts in production.

Code. Deploy. Go Live. is a technical conversation show for developers working around Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Azure, and the broader JavaScript ecosystem. It is informal, but not shallow. Andrew Connell and Julie Turner usually open with life updates, small jokes, or a bit of live-recording chaos before turning toward the topic at hand. Then the show gets useful. Recent episodes cover the M365 Agents Toolkit 6.6.0 release, SharePoint’s 25-year history from a developer perspective, PnPjs, SPFx issues, Azure Functions fundamentals, and the 2025 State of JavaScript survey. The appeal is in the balance. A segment might start with jet lag, surgery recovery, or a clean kitchen joke, then land in the details of Graph clients, fluent APIs, event timelines, batching, or agent scoping. The conversations are often opinionated, but the opinions come from implementation pressure rather than hot takes. When a release lacks an announcement, the show reads between the lines. When a library design decision creates maintenance pain, it talks through why that pain exists. When SharePoint history matters, it follows the thread from old farm solutions and XML manifests to modern framework packages. Guest episodes add another layer, especially the PnPjs maintainer discussion with Patrick Rogers and Bo Cameron, where the conversation gets into enterprise-scale open source realities. The pacing is brisk and collaborative. Questions are used to clarify, not grandstand. The show also makes space for the human side of technical work, including travel, illness, events, holiday timing, and the ordinary mess around deadlines. That looseness helps the harder material breathe. Code. Deploy. Go Live. is best for developers who already know the Microsoft cloud world has sharp edges and want informed peers talking through them in public.
Made for: Developers building with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Azure, SPFx, Microsoft Graph, PnPjs, or JavaScript tooling. It especially fits listeners who want practical context from experienced peers rather than polished product messaging.
What sets it apart: The show pairs casual, live-feeling rapport with unusually specific developer detail. It is just as willing to trace SharePoint history as it is to critique a quiet toolkit release or ask guests about messy internals.
