Q & A
13:18 Recently my company assigned me a new project in which i have to take a copy of older project. I find it really difficult to work on this project. If I make one change, layout breaks somewhere else. Is there a way I can make my life easier without resigning?
23:30 When you guys make websites, do you host a set of pure code files or do you use WordPress, and if you use WordPress how do you go about learning it?
33:30 So on a recent episode you touched on using Mozilla’s Observatory project to scan your site’s front-end for security issues. The first item on Observatory’s report card was the Content Security Policy. I’d love to get a passing grade on these item, but I don’t see a fast path to get there without serious reconsideration of my theme and plugins.
42:30 Am I the only one who thinks despite H2 being on the horizon, nothing should change in terms of workflow? Have I misunderstood a fundamental aspect of H2? What do you guys think?
51:28 What’s the best way to call large CSS or JS libraries like Twitter Bootstrap on your page?
54:45 Is MySQL being phased out?
