  • JavaScript Masterclass | JSConfUS 2013

    This past Friday night, a coworker on Mercury, Enej Bajgoric, shared this video of Angelina Fabbro speaking at JSConfUS 2013.

    Based on the title of the video, I was certain that I would come away with a more advanced understanding of closures or some other JavaScript topic.

    But, I was pleasantly surprised that the video was non-technical. Instead, Angelina talked about topics such as:

    • What makes a good programmer?
    • What level programmer am I?
    • Are there natural programmers?
    • How to get from intermediate programmer to expert programmer.

    The video is just over 22 minutes and, in my opinion, well worth the time it takes to watch.

  • The Need for Speed: Optimistic Web Interfaces

    Shortly after starting at Automattic, I became interested in optimistic interfaces after Beau critiqued some work I had done on O2.

    One of the best videos I found to introduce and demonstrate optimistic web interfaces was this one of Guillermo Rauch, who happens to be a coworker at Automattic, speaking at dotJS 2013.
