About Semicolon & Sons

Semicolon & Sons screencasts are aimed at programmers and share what we've learned in building software for ourselves and our clients.

When you run your own software business, there are things you gotta know that regular programmers don't:

- technical systems to improve the stability of your code at minimal cost in time -- knowing what to integration test, exception notification systems, downtime monitors
- how to get people to your website en-masse with SEO, paid ads, etc. -- ideally in a way that leverages your edge in automation.
