Brian
Uptime FM is a live talk show hosted by Sean C. Davis where you'll meet prominent members of the developer community and talk shop.
You’re ready to build your next project for the web, but how do you go about choosing the right JavaScript framework?
And what if you can’t find the perfect framework? Should you build your own?
Sean C Davis interviews Salma Alam-Naylor on a recent series of three blog posts that work together to help identify the best JavaScript framework for you.
Building a performant website is a job that’s never really done. As websites and web standards evolve, developers must be both mindful and knowledgeable to keep the website performing at its best.
How and why we put it this effort is what Sean and Henri explore in this episode.
Before JavaScript took over the world, do you know what everyone loved? Testing!
We were testing so much that we were writing tests before writing the code to make the tests pass.
In the shift to modern web development and Everything JavaScript All The Time Always, talk of testing code has cooled significantly. Why? Should we be writing tests for our code today? Or only in certain scenarios? And what tools can we use to get the job done efficiently?
These are the questions Sean will hope to answer in his time with Mark.
The idea of web components first emerged a little more than a decade ago. It seemed revolutionary. They were going to be the future of the web.
And then they kind of … disappeared. Component frameworks like React and Angular took the reins, and traditional web components took to the back seat.
And now? They seem to be making a minor resurgence.
In this episode, Sean will work with Evan to try to fill in some of these gaps. Why didn’t web components catch on right away? Why are they back now? Are they here to stay? And how can you get started working with them today?
Writing documentation for developers means answering a number of questions: How do we organize the content? How should navigation reflect that organization? How do we render code snippets? What application and format do we use for writing? How do we maintain docs over time?
And that's just the beginning.
Join Sean as he taps Ember's expertise in building and maintaining documentation for LaunchDarkly.
