HTML All The Things - Web Development, AI, and Developer Careers

In this episode Mike makes his return to the show to discuss jQuery and it's popularity. Whenever a new technology emerges the buzz around it seems to take over the reality that the older technologies don't just disappear overnight. The discussion seems to become "who uses X technology anymore?" when in reality, a lot of people use it, a lot of people are just learning it, and a lot of people are going to continue to use it. We discuss this sort of situation focusing on jQuery and the new capabilities of vanilla JavaScript. Then in the weekly Web News we discuss the new 16" Macbook - is Apple listening to the consumer?

In this episode Matt discusses when you should put down the books and just start coding away on your creation. It can be difficult to tell when you should dive into a project and get your hands dirty when there is so much to learn, however, it's important to remember that no matter how much you read, there will always be something that you've never seen before on every project. After getting a basic knowledge of what you're working on, you're generally better off just starting the code and researching/reading as needed throughout the project.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss the difference between various types of websites including static states, server side rendering, and single page apps. With so many different ways to code up and deliver websites to users, the choice isn't always simple. Performance, infrastructure/hosting type, and of course the learning curve all play a factor in what type of website you'll create for your users. This episode goes over some of the technologies at play with each type. Then later in the weekly Web News segment, we discuss the HTML All The Things website and how the project has evolved over time before coding has even begun.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss another collection of UX considerations including Unseen UX and Forgotten UX. Unseen UX includes experiences such as ABS in a car, where the user has very little control over it, has very little feedback from it, and expects it to produce a result automatically. Forgotten UX typically has standard feedback on a screen, or audio of some kind, but it can be ignored completely and will eventually be forgotten over time - this type of UX can be seen with many face unlock technologies on smartphones and on-screen fingerprint readers.
