NDC returned to Sydney this year and SSW TV was there to catch all the action with our Ask Me Anything! sessions.

As usual there were a host of top industry pros talking about various subjects related to software development. SSW TV was there to run the ‘Ask Me Anything’ booth, where we grabbed some of those speakers after their sessions and talked about a number of topics.

In this AMA, SSW’s Brendan Richards interviewed Troy Hunt.

Together they talk about everything from how to Hack Your Career, how Troy got started in Internet Security, to time travel.
