RAPIDFIRE #57! !pew! !pew! 15 minutes on Favicon issues – need we say more? Ok how about versioning a major website rewrite? Developing an idea for a talk? Arguments about AMP? Front end devs feeling like back end devs? WordPress and WooCommerce issues? !pew! !pew!

Q & A

2:46 What is the impact on performance when including all favicons? What is current best practice?

17:23 I have a question on website versioning, say you have v1 of a site under source control and want to rewrite that site. Would you create a new repo for the rewrite or somehow tag the current as v1 and add the files for v2?

22:30 I would love to speak to people but am having a hard time figuring out what would be a good topic to pitch; I’m afraid I am just re-interpreting previous ideas/talks.

32:00 Is there a plugin or a setting to load images before the WooCommerce JS plugin?

37:55 What are your feelings about AMP pages? Do you think AMP pages will have “staying power”?

48:36 I was hired as a front end dev but based on the amount of php I’m writing these days, I’m starting to feel like a back end dev. What’s the line between front end dev and back end dev?

54:05 Do you think tacking on additional items to the WordPress post object is a good idea or a bad idea?

RAPIDFIRE!! Pew Pew! SXSW hot tips, how best to handle website prototype build handoffs, the search for a better boilerplate, what the heck is the section tag for, and online IDE vs local development. PLUS Chris’ Dr. Claw impression.

Q & A

3:20 What should a web developer do when handed off prototype builds of HTML/CSS/JS?

8:00 Do you guys know of a better way to handle the distribution of our JS for this website?

11:50 I’m a novice web designer. I have a site where I’ve made many changes/additions. I want to start fresh because I don’t know what ID’s, Class, script etc is used and what is not. What is the best way to start fresh!

19:58 This is a question for everyone – just wanted to see if you guys have any general tips/recommendations for a SXSW first-timer?

25:20 I’ve been looking for an html5 / css3 / grid-like boilerplate that uses ems instead of pixels. Do any exist? Can you recommend one?

31:00 Online IDEs vs. Local Development?

38:30 This has to do with the HTML5 section tag. The W3C says that it is a generic element tag, but not a generic wrapper. Will the W3C kill a puppy every time I add a background color to a section?

44:30 I would like to know if you can style the HTML5 input “Range” slider to have one color for the portion that indicates the current value (the used portion of the slider) and another color for the portion indicating you will increase the value.

This week we have another RAPIDFire episode digging way back into the question archive to answer questions about stolen SVGs, getting started writing for the web, dealing with small styles, the best library for DOM manipulation, and Dropbox Driven Development.

Q & A

2:00 What could I do to make them understand that the web is moving forward, and their websites should too? I know the websites I make is for them and not for me, but it feels a bit strange.

5:30 Given that SVG files are the raw and un-rendered, it’s much easier to take bits of pieces of it versus a PNG image. Are you ever worried that someone will come along and steal parts of the SVG file?

9:10 Do you know any other way to concatenate javascript while keeping the list of js paths out of the gulp file?

12:50 Sometimes I run into problems with how I have wrote the html or css in a way that makes it hard to position a div or tab. What are some best practices when coding the html and css so that the page comes together in an efficient and predictable manner?

15:28 The web world has so much going on and our industry has so many amazing writers, how does one find a way to write something different? Is it even worth worrying about?

19:50 I am facing a problem where I don’t have enough clients. How do I get more of them? I don’t live in an area with many businesses that I can work for. And how can I write a good proposal? Tips and experience?

25:56 How do you handle small styles for example three lines of code in sass do you create its own partials or create one called global and put it in there?

29:55 I find CSS modularization very intriguing but would like to view great examples of projects implementing style builds entirely in JS. Could you point me to some good open source examples?

37:00 Is jQuery still the best library for DOM manipulation?

42:47 Is there a workflow or tools you would recommend for automated pre-commit code formatting? So that everyone who contributes code has it automatically formatted the same without having to worry about editorconfig. We use css, js, and handlebars templates.

46:40 I know the obvious answer is for everyone to work strictly locally and then use Git when work is ready, but what is the best way to handle this when working with partials? Should we compile on the server? Or separate our project out into a ‘development’ and ‘distribution’ structure with a build task?

50:47 Do you guys have any suggestions on software options to provide monthly search engine ranking reports that can help automate this process. I’m building up a decent client base and would love to save some time with researching the hundreds of keywords I’m currently tracking. Thanks!

Q & A

4:35 We really like how you have your site setup so people can listen live and talk about the podcast. I was hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction for doing something similar.

12:27 How has podcast-fame changed your lives? Is it difficult to do things like shop for groceries with throngs of ravenous teenagers tearing at your clothes?

15:12 Can you use two different font libraries at once?

19:31 When using a grid system, is it better to separate the layout classes from the element you wish to style, or combine them to save on markup?

25:15 What mouse do you use?

30:00 Why does Chris end each show in a monotone voice?

31:31 What are some of the ways we can support, apply, and encourage empathy in our relatively young community? What are the biggest issues we can focus on fixing as a community?

39:00 What do you guys think about this new super duper awesome thing called PostCSS?

47:38 UX is used to describe many different activities, what does UX mean to you in your design process?

53:33 What do you think about making home servers for websites? Should I use a hosting company it should I build my own Linux server and install lamp on it?

56:03 What are your thoughts on the increase in self-teaching among aspiring devs? Do you think this is a strength, weakness, or a bit of both, and why?

We take this episode to reminisce and talk about how ShopTalk Show has grown up and changed over the 199 episodes. 140 guests! 53 RAPIDFIRES! 13 Crossover Episodes!

There have been quite a few amazing moments. Perhaps the best of which is how many people have agreed to be on this show. In the middle of weekdays, no less!

From Col. W.B. Standards to Paul’s Mom. From Earl Drudge and his evil ways to faking a show from 2004 to Alex King (RIP, sir, and thanks for everything). From little shows with just Dave & Chris to hundreds of people shouting “Just Build Websites!” to us on a stage. From panels full of bonafide geniuses to bookclubs to #hotdrama to Dave going Windows to bad developer jokes to endless sound effects… thanks for listening ❤️.

Thanks to MediaTemple not only for sponsoring the show, but for being our excellent web host since the beginning. We get a little nostalgic with them too, per the theme of this week’s episode. It was through Media Temple’s excellent interface that Chris first learned about web hosting and the powers we have as web designers and developers.

The Grid Service Media Temple offers is perhaps their most well-known, for it’s auto-scaling abilities and the fact you can host 100 sites on it. Most sites we host these days are on their Virtual Private Server hosting.

What you might not know (and you should!) is that Media Temple offers things like very affordable fully managed WordPress hosting, fully managed hosting on Amazon Web Services, and even fully managed dedicated servers.

Show DescriptionWe take this episode to reminisce and talk about how ShopTalk Show has grown up and changed over the 199 episodes. 140 guests! 53 RAPIDFIRES! 13 Crossover Episodes!

There have been quite a few amazing moments. Perhaps the best of which is how many people have agreed to be on this show. In the middle of weekdays, no less!

From Col. W.B. Standards to Paul's Mom. From Earl Drudge and his evil ways to faking a show from 2004 to Alex King (RIP, sir, and thanks for everything). From little shows with just Dave & Chris to hundreds of people shouting "Just Build Websites!" to us on a stage. From panels full of bonafide geniuses to bookclubs to #hotdrama to Dave going Windows to bad developer jokes to endless sound effects... thanks for listening ❤️.

⭐️BraintreePaymentsDevelopers around the world have embraced the [Braintree](http://synd.co/1Z8sfbB) v­dot­zero SDK as the easiest way to add secure mobile payments to their apps and websites.

No matter what payment type, Braintree accepts it. Apple Pay, Android Pay, PayPal, Venom, credit cards, even Bitcoin. And if something new pops up, Braintree will support that too. It’s the same payment solution used by Uber, Airbnb, and GitHub, so you know it scales.
