JSJ 460: The Things Every JavaScript Developer Must Know, Part 2 Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

The panel continues its discussion of various JavaScript programming topics, and whether or not they are required knowledge for JavaScript programmers. This time the debate gets even more heated with topics such as promises and async / await, regular expressions (regex), the DOM and Service Workers. Ultimately we conclude that some you must indeed know to be successful at JavaScript development, but some you just need to know enough about to know to stay away from them.Panel

JSJ 459: Codota Tabnine and the Rise of Ai-powered Developer Tooling with Kyle Simpson PT 2 Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Imagine a world in which your editor / IDE can actually write some of your code for you. Where you're able to produce software faster and more efficiently because your development environment "knows" what you want to do, based on code you've written before. Turns out you can start experiencing this in the present using the free TabNine editor extension by Codata. In this episode Kyle Simpson, Codata's Lead of Developer Empowerment, joins the panel to describe how they use Machine Learning to enhance and accelerate software development. Kyle explains what's already possible in the present, and what ML technology promises to enable in the future for developer experience.PicksAimee

JSJ 455: Introducing and Understanding Svelte and Sapper with Mark Volkmann Oct 27, 2020

Show notes

This week the panel is joined by Mark Volkmann to discuss Svelte and how it compares and differs from front-end frameworks such as React and Angular. Mark has written a book and has given talks about Svelte and also about Sapper, an application framework built on top of Svelte. He explains to the panel how Svelte components are defined differently than other JavaScript frameworks, and how they are actually compiled into the production code, which isn’t dependent on any external libraries. He also explains why and how Svelte forgoes the use of a virtual DOM, using direct DOM manipulations instead. Finally he describes Sapper and explains how it can be used to quickly and easily create Web-apps that use SSR, static pages generation and dynamic routing.Sponsors

JSJ 453: Debugging Third Party JavaScript with Ben Vinegar Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

Podcast: Play in new window | Download Many websites these days have to deal with the reality of incorporating third-party scripts. These could be tracking scripts or analytics or monitoring, or even scripts that add explicit features to a site, such as chat. Regardless of the purpose, such scripts add complexity and overhead, and can interfere with the proper operation of the site. In this episode Ben Vinegar, VP of engineering at Sentry, joins the panel to discuss the complexities and implications of third-party scripts, both from the perspective of website developers, as well as from the perspective of the developers creating such scripts.Sponsors
