Show notes

This episode is a continuation of Javascript Jabber 512, so head over there before tuning into this one! In this Part 2, the Jabberers and Dan Shappir discuss THE difference between Svelte vs. virtual DOM and React, the most noticeable pros and cons of React when a DOM’s around, and how “partial rendering” is changing the game. Per usual, Steve’s dad jokes are 100% funny._“This separation that the VDom creates between the representation of the UI and the actual UI is a really powerful one.”

Can JAMstack do REAL Web Apps? with James Q Quick - JSJ 517 Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

But really…can it? It absolutely can AND a lot more. In this new episode of JavaScript Jabber, the roundtable sits down with James Q Quick, a software developer, podcast host, and overall future-enthusiast. The team discusses what the “JAM” in JAMstack means for developers, how it’s making integrating features (like payment processing) a breeze, and what you NEED to know about JAMstack going into 2022. “None of these individual tools are new, but JAMstack just became a new way to combine those things with static content and leverage those concepts.”
- James Quick In This EpisodeWhy JAMstack is more than just individual pieces clumped together (and could be replacing how developers do business)
How the “JAM” in JAMstack is allowing developers to pick and choose the services they want (without knowing all the nitty gritty details)
James lays out how JAMstack makes payment processing a no-brainer (and it’s not just Twitter hype)
New features and apps for JAMstack that you NEED to know in 2022
Where JAMstack is shows its power and ease-of-use (and why you should have some “secret sauce” in your cabinet)Sponsors

Carson Gross is the creator of InterCooler and HTMX. He pulled them together to manage the way that he wrote JavaScript and interacted with hypermedia and HATEOAS to make managing the DOM and backend easier.It's not really a competitor to web frameworks as much as a different way to think about the front-end of your application.Panel
