Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future

Web Components with Rob Dodson, Tushar Mathur, and Monica Dinculescu

Description:

There's been quite a bit of talk about the Web Components spec lately. As with anything new, there's been a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) about Web Components. We're going to chat about some of their use cases, strengths, and weaknesses to give us all a better idea of this tech.
