December 14, 2020Snowpack the faster frontend build tool
On this episode, we chat with Drew Powers from skypack.dev about Snowpack, a modern frontend build tool that’s blazingly fast, and zero config to get up and running.

Learn why Snowpack was named the “#1 Developer Productivity Booster” and why CodePen.io just announced an integration with the Skypack CDN.

We talk about how leveraging the platform allows Snowpack to deliver a fast and easy to set up local development environment, and how it can see the whole process through to production bundling!

November 30, 2020The Chakra UI Component Library
On this episode, we talk with Segun “Sage” Adebayo, the creator of the Chakra UI component library about how Chakra came to be, and how helping people has changed his life.

Chakra UI is a set of React components that makes putting together any website easier, with a consistent design system and accessible & composable components. If you’re a fan of Vue.js, don’t worry, there’s Chakra UI for Vue.js as well!

We talk with Segun in-depth about how his deep experience as a designer allowed him to make Chakra UI into something that can help developers and designers around the world.

November 16, 2020Why you should adopt TypeScript
On this episode, we talk with Stefan Baumgartner, author of “TypeScript in 50 Lessons” about what TypeScript is, and why we should adopt it.

We discuss how the entire ecosystem, from fledgling developers to framework authors benefit immensely from TypeScript, and we discuss exactly how and why that is.

It’s likely that if you do any JavaScript coding at all these days, you’re actually using some facet of TypeScript without even known it.

Join us to learn how to leverage the rest of what TypeScript has to offer!

November 02, 2020Craft CMS Plugin Developer Roundtable #2
In this roundtable discussion, we once again bring together members of the Craft CMS plugin developers cabal to talk about the state of plugin development 2 ½ years after the Craft CMS plugin store went live.

We talk about a wide range of issues from development challenges to marketing, and how support is a large part of what we do.

We also discuss SuperBigCo’s Fred Carlsen’s exodus from the Craft CMS community to Sanity.io, and what that means for all of the wonderful plugins he’s left behind.

We also spend a bunch of time discussing improvements or changes we’d like to see from Pixel & Tonic to help the plugin ecosystem flourish.

October 19, 2020Should Craft CMS use Yii3 or Laravel?
On this episode we have a round table discussion with a cadre of Craft CMS developers to discuss whether a future version of Craft CMS should use Yii3 or Laravel.

We talk about the relative merits of both staying the course with Yii3 and joining the legions in Laravel-land… with a wildcard thrown in of potentially just leveraging Symfony directly.

We launch into a discussion about the relative importance of the technical abilities of a framework compared to human factors like the size and momentum of the communities.

Join us for a heady discussion on the underpinnings of Craft CMS.

October 05, 2020Information Security: The Underbelly of the Beast
On this episode we talk with Infosec consultant Eugen Olteanu about information security and the dark side of the web.

There exists a parallel world where the breaking into websites is both a measure of street cred and also a profession. We delve down into the belly of the beast to discuss how this world works.

We also talk about what developers can to do mitigate potential attacks and security breaches. If we can’t win the arms race, we can at least make ourselves a less succulent target.

September 21, 2020Using social media to accelerate your tech career
On this episode, we talk with Pariss Athena, the creator of #BlackTechTwitter & founder of BlackTechPipeline.com, about how developers can use social media to advance our development career.

We have a great conversation about Pariss’s journey from being an esthetician waxing bodies to founding her very own tech startup.

Helen may have had the face that launched a thousand ships, but Pariss had the tweet that launched a global conversation.

Pariss tells us what the experience was like on her meteoric rise, and offers a whole lot of advice on how you, too, can leverage social media like Twitter to aid in your own journey.

September 07, 2020Dynamic HTML with htmx
On this episode we have Carson from Big Sky Software on to discuss how his htmx library is an extension to HTML that brings needed dynamic functionality to the modern web without bringing complexity.

Joined by Ben Croker from PutYourLightsOn, we discuss the type of problems that htmx is designed to solve, which is dynamism & fetching backend data.

We also discuss how it’s ideologically similar to Alpine.js and Tailwind CSS, in that it’s HTML-centric: you’re not writing JavaScript code, you’re adding attributes to your HTML.

We also meander around topics like REST, HATEOAS, Thick Clients vs. Thin Clients, and a veritable smorgasbord of other fun stuff, so tune in!

August 31, 2020Sprig brings Reactivity to Twig
On this episode, we talk to Ben Croker from PutYourLightsOn about his new plugin for Craft CMS called Sprig.

Sprig brings reactivity to your Twig templates, by allowing you to do what are effectively dynamic includes of familiar Twig templates.

This allows you to do dynamic things like handle pagination, dynamic updating of content, and more while keeping a unified Twig-based rendering model.

Joined by Ryan Irelan, we delve into how Sprig can be used as a little extra seasoning for your web pages, without having to resort to a full blown frontend framework like React or Vue.
