10 Conference Videos for Front-End Developers

Here’s a collection of videos that I’ve stumbled across in recent months.

I haven’t watched all of them, but they’re on my current to-watch list and what better way to remind myself to watch them than to blog them. Enjoy.

Breaking Good Habits (Harry Roberts)

“Solving the right problems for the right people; looking at how some of our so-called best practices hinder, rather than help.”

Learning to Love JavaScript (Alex Russell)

I like this one because he discusses JavaScript’s “core concepts”, which is great for beginners, but also great for those who already know how to program but are just learning JavaScript.

Writing Maintainable JavaScript (Andrew Dupont)

“Learn about a handful of strategies you can use to keep your JavaScript codebase lean, modular, and flexible.”

Progressive Enhancement 2.0 (Nicholas Zakas)

Contrary to recent drama, I am a huge proponent of progressive enhancement and providing some level of support for every browser, which Zakas discusses here.

“Front-end engineer Jonathan Verrecchia will demonstrate the power of CSS preprocessors and explain why he believes these are a game changer for front-end development.”

    Thanks,

    I’ve been watching the Google I/O videos recommend both “The Web Can Do That” as well as “Breaking the JavaScript Speed Limit with V8”.

    However breaking the JavaScript Speed Limit gets a bit more technical into what V8 actually does with the JS.
