On this episode we have Jason McCallister from Trader Interactive on to discuss Docker! We talk about what Docker containers are, and how we can leverage them to make our local development process better.
We delve into the advantages of using Docker to compartmentalize the various services that we need during development into containers, so that we can focus on shipping code rather than tinkering around with a development environment.Then we get into how to use Docker for our entire pipeline from local development to testing CI/CD, staging, and live production. Jalen Davenport joins us as well to discuss how Laravel Valet can work together with Docker effectively.Jason McCallisterBrett Fisher Docker CourseServers for HackersShipping DockerArchitecting Applications for KubernetesCraft CMS on Docker1 hr 22 min - JAMstack development, carpe JavaScript!

We discuss the pros and cons of embracing this way of building websites, and more and more, webapps!We delve into not just the benefits to the developer of working this way, but also the benefit to the client, and the end user.

On this episode, we talk with special guest Adam Wathan about the VueJS JavaScript framework. We talk about what VueJS is, and how its Laissez-faire approach lets you pick and choose how much of it makes sense to use in a project.
We go into why using a framework like VueJS can help you write better, more manageable JavaScript than just rolling your own. The discussion also meanders into a philosophical discussion of whether using a frontend framework for rendering the frontend is always the best choice.If you’re interested in VueJS, or are using it already, hopefully this podcast will have plenty to offer you as food for thought!VueJSAdam WathanAdvanced Vue Component DesignReplacing jQuery With Vue.jsLearn Vue 2: Step By StepUsing VueJS 2.0 with Craft CMSRenderless Components in Vue.jsThe Cost of JavaScriptThe Bullshit Web1 hr 14 min - Herding Clients Through The Great Migration
In this episode we talk with special guest Ben Parizek about how to approach clients running on legacy systems to upgrade to something more modern. We all have clients who are running on old versions of a CMS or other system of some kind or another.
We discuss when it makes sense to broach the conversation about moving them to something more modern, and how to couch it in terms of benefits to the client. Security, new features, a site refresh in terms of functionality or appearance; these all factor in.We also discuss when it makes sense to focus on forward-thinking work, and contracting out legacy maintenance or just plain letting the client know it may not be a good fit anymore.Barrel Strength DesignThe Great Migration3 Signs It’s Time to Migrate to a New CMS1 hr 12 min - Going Offline: Service Workers with Jeremy Keith
We have special guest Jeremy Keith from ClearLeft to discuss Service Workers: what they are, how users can benefit from them, and how we implement them. Jeremy authored the book “Going Offline” which goes into glorious detail on the subject, so he’s well positioned to discuss the topic.
We talk about how using a Service Worker can beneficially impact the user experience by allowing your website to still function despite spotty or no Internet connection at all. We also delve into many practical applications of the technology.We discuss how in-browser technologies like Service Workers allow websites to act more like “apps”, how Service Workers are installed, and how they are like a virus, a toolbox, and a duckbilled platypus at once.Going Offline e-bookAdactio: Jeremy KeithCanIUse Service Worker supportWorkBoxOffline Google AnalyticsServiceWorkers and Offline Browsingnystudio107 blog1 hr 19 min - Traveling the World as a Web Developer

We talk about the logistics of being able to juggle client work while living in a 200 sq ft 1972 Airstream RV, and handling the vagaries of spotty Internet connections in far-flung locations.We then go into a more personal and philosophical discussion of how most people do a terrible job balancing working, living, and playing… and how as a freelancer you have more options open to you than you might think possible!Tiny Shiny HomeForty Seven MediaCampendiumMobile Internet SetupAirstream RenovationDry Tortugas National ParkLive, Work, PlayFreelancing has always been a battleCaptain Fantastic1 hr 13 min
