ShopTalk Show - SoundSage

This week it’s another RAPIDFIRE! We take listener questions and try to answer them as best we can within a 3 minute time constraint.

We talked about (roughly in order):

Q & A:

2:19 What’s the best way to release a tiny JQuery plugin?
6:14 My question is about Grunt and requireJS: if I concatenate all my javascript features into a single file, all of them will be loaded with 1 http request, right? So what’s the point of using requireJS?
13:52 What is the maximum number of javascript files that you should load on the same page?
21:02 I want to set a performance budget but have no idea where to start. Are there any good articles or pieces of advice you can give?
29:00 What’s the best way to learn JQuery?
31:35 What’s the best way to detect if something is visible in the browser’s active viewport?
38:29 Do you know of a port of Bootstrap that is more intended for a Grunt and Sass workflow?
41:50 I’ve been trying to figure out the right way to handle content hiding. Any advice or thoughts on this?
48:20 How do you handle a boss that gets upset when you ask him about which devices we’ll be supporting for a project?
51:20 Do you guys know of any cool sites/tools to see what percentage of people are currently using what browsers to get a general idea of global usage on a particular browser version?
