This week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:  Hello friends.CHUCK:  Joe Eames.JOE:  Hey there.CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. We’ve also got two special guests and that is Fred Zirdung.FRED:  Hello.CHUCK:  Did I totally butcher that?FRED:  Yeah, you got it right.CHUCK:  Okay. And Marcus Phillips.MARCUS:  Hi everybody.CHUCK:  Since you guys haven't been on the show before, do you want to introduce yourself? We’ll have Marcus go first.MARCUS:  Sure. I'm Marcus Phillips. I'm a JavaScript enthusiast. I've been in it for a long time. Really excited about framework architecture and lately, all about teaching what I've learned over the course of time that I've been working in the Bay Area and working on the frontend of Twitter and things like that. Nowadays, I teach at Hack Reactor full time which is an immersive school for learning to become a developer over a period of three months.JAMISON:  Cool.CHUCK:  And which technologies do you teach at Hack Reactor?MARCUS:  We use JavaScript as our teaching language. Fundamentally, what we’re trying to do is teach people software engineering principles. So, JavaScript just turns out to be one of the most useful languages we can use to do that. But from there, we kind of want to give people practical skills that they can use immediately on the job. So, we definitely drive the entire curriculum out of GitHub repos and teach them some practical things like Backbone and Node and deployment strategies. So yeah, we kind of cover the gambit from frontend to backend with a focus on JavaScript in particular.CHUCK:  Awesome. That sounds really cool.JOE:  Yeah, it does.MARCUS:  It’s a lot of fun.CHUCK:  Fred,Special Guests: Fred Zirdung and Marcus Phillips.

I'm a software engineer that is working for Box currently. I think a lot of people probably know me from the books that I've written, mostly on the topic of JavaScript and the talks that I've given also on that topic. And a lot of that relates back to my work when I was at Yahoo. I was there for about five years and was the lead on the Yahoo homepage redesign. And a lot of what I do is really just try to solve problems in real life and then share what I did with everybody else in whatever way I think is most appropriate - writing or speaking or coming on podcasts.CHUCK:  Yes, you're being modest.

So my name’s Pete. I work on general React stuff these days. But my day job is building the Instagram web experience. If you go to Instagram.com, we have a bunch of frontend stuff you can play with and a bunch of backend infrastructure that supports all that. That’s what I mostly work on. We’re big users of React at Instagram so I ended up contributing a lot to the React core as well.JAMISON:  So did you come from Instagram or from Facebook and then to work on Instagram?PETE:  Well it was actually a pretty good story just in terms of the integration of the two companies. I was originally at Facebook for a couple of years and we acquired Instagram and they came in and they wanted to build a web presence. Facebook’s core competency is definitely web technologies and Instagram hasn’t historically focused on that. So we were able to take the Facebook web expertise and get Instagram up and running really quickly. I came from the Facebook side but the team is still very much a separate team, their own building, that kind of thing. So that’s my background.CHUCK:  Awesome.JAMISON:  Sweet.CHUCK:  And Jordan?Special Guests: Jordan Walke and Pete Hunt.

This week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:  Hello.CHUCK:  Joe Eames.JOE:  Hey there.CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. And this week, we’re going to be talking about screencasting and sharing what you know through that kind of a visual medium. Before we get going, I’m wondering how much of this have you guys done?JAMISON:  None.JOE:  [Chuckles] I’ve done a fair amount. I’ve got my three courses with Pluralsight that I’ve done. That’s pretty much all the screencasting that I’ve done, is through Pluralsight. But I have to say I’ve definitely done a fair amount, several hundred, maybe a thousand with the screencasting.CHUCK:  Nice.JAMISON:  When you say a thousand hours, do you mean a thousand hours of recorded video or a thousand hours of time put into this?JOE:  Yeah, a thousand hours of time actually spent. So I’ve probably produced ten or fifteen hours of recorded video. Probably about that much and five or six hundred hours of time spent producing that much video, right around that.CHUCK:  Well there you go. If you’ve read outliers, you know you have nine thousand hours to go, right?JOE:  [Chuckles] Yeah. Exactly when I’ll be an expert.CHUCK:  That’s right. I’ve done a fair bit of screencasting as well. In fact, I got into podcasting through screencasting and I ran TeachMeToCode.com for a few years. I’m actually looking at reviving it but it’s just some time that I haven’t been able to commit yet. But yeah, it’s definitely a fun and interesting thing to do to share what you know and get the word out about whatever technologies you’re passionate about.

And we have a special guest that is Scott Hanselman.SCOTT:  Hello.CHUCK:  Since you’re new to the show, do you want to introduce yourself really quickly?SCOTT:  My name is Scott Hanselman. You can learn more about me on the internet by googling for Scott. I’m in an epic battle right now with the Scott toilet paper people. You’ll find me just below Scott toilet tissue. I’ve been blogging for ten years. More than ten years, 13 years. I work at Microsoft right now. Before that I worked in finance at a company called Corillian that is now Fiserv. I’ve been building big systems on the web for as long as the web’s been around.CHUCK:  Wow. What do you do at Microsoft?SCOTT:  I work in Azure and Web Tools. I’m a program manager. I’m in charge of the experience from file new project until deployment. I call myself the PM of miscellaneous. I spend time going through that experience making sure that it doesn’t suck. My focus is on web tools but also ASP.NET Runtime and what the experience is when you deploy something into Azure. That might be everything from what’s it like editing JavaScript in Visual Studio and I’ll find some issue and go and work with the guys that own that, or it might be someone’s trying to do something in Node on Azure and that experience is not good. I’m like an ombudsman or a customer liaison. But the simplest way would be to say I’m the community PM, community program manager, for web tools at Microsoft.CHUCK:  Okay.AARON:  Cool.CHUCK:  So, is JavaScript your primary focus?SCOTT:  I would say that my primary focus is just anything that makes the web better and moves the web forward. While I work for ASP.NET and most of my work is in C#,Special Guest: Scott Hanselman.

This week on our panel we have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:  Hello friends.CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. And we have a special guest and that is Jake Archibald.JAKE:  Hello.CHUCK:  Jake, do you want to introduce yourself for the folks who haven’t heard of you before?JAKE:  Sure thing. I work on the Google Chrome team as part of DevRel. What I’m doing there is a combination of speaking at conferences about particular stuff. I got to do a lot in performance at the moment, but I also do a lot of standards work where I’ve done a lot with an alternative to application cache, which we’ll be talking about, but also looking at things like script loading and some of the resource priority stuff.CHUCK:  Cool. So it sounds like you’re smart on a number of levels then.JAKE:  Or dumb at all. [Chuckles] I can only see what I work on. I don’t know if I’m any good at it.[Chuckles]CHUCK:  So we brought you on to talk about the application cache. I’m not completely sure I know what is totally involved there. Is it just the cache like you clear the browser cache cache or is it something else?JAKE:  Well. the aim for the application cache was to let you make a site that works offline. So we’ve got the http cache and that works, in a manner of speaking. But if you have, say a website where you’ve cached your JavaScript, you’ve cached your CSS. You’ve cached your html page and some images. That’s great, but the user will visit another website and the browser will go and delete the CSS file from your site from the cache just to make room for the stuff from this other site. That means that if we were just going to use the http cache for making things work offline, people go to your site, your html’s there, your images are there, your JavaScript’s there, but your CSS is not and that’s going to break your site.Special Guest: Jake Archibald.

This week on our panel, we have Joe Eames.JOE:  Hey there.CHUCK:  We also have Aaron Frost filling in for us.AARON:  Hello.CHUCK:  And we have a special guest and that is Toby Ho.TOBY:  Hi everyone.CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. Guys, why don’t we have you introduce yourselves really quick? Let’s start with you, Aaron.AARON:  Okay. So, I’m a frontend developer at Domo.JOE:  Open-source evangelist.AARON:  Well, you can call me whatever you want.[Laughter]AARON:  I’ve worked here for a few months. I love it. I’m writing a book on the next version of ECMAScript and a dad with three kids. So yeah, that’s me.JOE:  Aaron’s too modest. He’s also a big-time conference speaker. He’s a regular presenter at local user groups. And like I said before, he’s one of our evangelists, so he was hired as a really high-level frontend engineer here at Domo to help us take our JavaScript and frontend work into the next level, really.CHUCK:  Yeah, I also showed up late to a workshop that he was putting on using Node and Twilio and that was pretty cool.JOE:  Yeah, that thing has been the bomb. Also, Aaron’s presentation at Fluent Conf with Dave Geddes was apparently the hit of the entire show, the best received. The organizer said he thought it was definitely one of the best presentations done at Fluent Conf.AARON:  Yeah. They said it was the most entertaining and Simon said he wished we could cut it down in ten minutes and that they had made us keynote, because it was pretty fun. We had a lot of fun with it.CHUCK:  Cool.JOE:  Yeah, it’s up on YouTube. We’ll put links in the show notes. It’s really great.Special Guest: Toby Ho.
