Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Merrick Christensen This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with Merrick Christensen. Christensen works at a company called Webflow, where they try to empower people to create software without code. The company is similar to Squarespace or Wix, except they give 100% design control to the client. Christensen talks about his journey into programming, starting by creating websites for his childhood band. He moved on from Microsoft to Dreamweaver, and his Dad got him started with some freelance jobs to create websites for people, which really sparked his interest. Christensen discusses his path to where he is as a programmer today. In particular, We dive pretty deep on: How did you get into programming? Getting into JavaScript Infogenix job Red Olive job using Flash Got into JavaScript through ActionScript Discovered Moo Tools Flex Steve Jobs says no Flash on iPhone Why Moo Tools and not jQuery?

Panel: Charles Max Wood Cory House Aimee Knight Joe Eames AJ O'Neal In this episode, the JavaScript Jabber panelists talk about the Framework Summit. It was the brainchild of Merrick Christensen. This summit includes talks on multiple different frameworks all in a two-day conference, which allows you to get exposed to new frameworks while still learning more about the framework your job requires you to use. Another goal of the conference is that it will be able to open people’s eyes up to the different frameworks available to them and show that no one framework is superior to another. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: What is the Framework Summit? The framework you use plays a huge role in your programming For people who want to learn about more than one framework Allows you to explore The format of the conference Park City, Utah in October 2018 Helps you answer which framework should you use? Goal is to open people’s eyes up to other frameworks Decrease internet arguments over which framework is better Fluent Conference Get to have conversation with other people who work in your framework Making connections React Rally Talk Evan Czaplicki The context matters Being able to deep dive into the different frameworks Using frameworks in conjunction with one another Have you seen “religionist” themes in programming frameworks?

Been refactoring a big react component into smaller stateless components to make it easier to understand dependencies for the different pieces of the component. Merrick Christensen demonstrates how to do this in his Egghead.io lesson "Extracting Private React Components" (https://egghead.io/lessons/react-extracting-private-react-components) See you on twitter (https://twitter.com/kentcdodds)!

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.

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. You have a book,

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?

MERRICK:  Once you’re gone, I’m going to start using that as my greeting. AARON:  Well, I wish my name was like that one guy, the Allonge, Reginald Braithwaite. [Laughter] AARON:  Where it’s like your name’s in British. JOE:  Yes. Your accent, no. Oh, I would have my name be Benedict Cumberbatch. AARON:  That’s pretty British too, that name. JOE:  That’s a very British name, yeah. AARON:  Wellington something. [Laughter] JAMISON:  Then you would be the archduke of JavaScript. AARON:  Yeah. JOE:  Oh, that would be an awesome title. AARON:  That’d be great. It’s a good title. MERRICK:  So Jamison, do you want to talk about why we have Aaron on the show? JAMISON:  Yeah, I was going to ask him to introduce himself. AARON:  Oh, great. I’m a web developer at an awesome company called Domo. JOE:  But what’s your official title? AARON:  Officially, I don’t know. What are you playing at? [Laughter] AARON:  Maybe an open web strategist. JOE:  There you go. JAMISON:  Social media expert? AARON:  I don’t know. But I work on our UI team and we’re getting ready to push out a really awesome release that everyone’s going to love. I’m also an author. I’ve published a short book with O’Reilly in May and working on another book.

CHUCK:  And Merrick Christensen. MERRICK:  Hey guys. CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. And this week, we’re going to be talking about, I think it’s kind of a blend of making the transition from one primary language to JavaScript, it usually happens through web development, and some of the mistakes that people make when their primary language is not JavaScript. Let’s go ahead and get started. Merrick, you’re kind of the expert guy that I always look at and go, “Man, he’s awesome at JavaScript.” So, I’m wondering, did you start out at JavaScript or did you come in from somewhere else? MERRICK:  Oh, that’s really nice of you, man. I actually started out with ActionScript. I really loved Flash developments, but it’s the same thing, really. They’re both based off of ECMAScript. So, I guess you could say I’ve always done JavaScript. JOE:  So, ActionScript is nearly identical to JavaScript? MERRICK:  Well, not anymore. ActionScript 3 developed classes and they typed it and they did some interesting things to make it more of a full-featured language. It’s got more [inaudible] than JavaScript now, I think. But I ended up getting into JavaScript when I was like 17 or so. I came across the MooTools framework and ever since then, it’s been all JavaScript all the time. CHUCK:  You’re pretty young. Wasn’t that last year? [Laughter] MERRICK:  Close. No, about six years, five years of JavaScript. JOE:  You’re also, though, like a real student of languages. You love studying other languages. MERRICK:  I love programming languages, yeah. JOE:  I think you’re a pretty funny, not necessarily unique,

RYAN:  Hey, how’s it going? CHUCK:  So, you haven’t been on the show before. Do you want to introduce yourself? RYAN:  Sure. Ryan Florence. I’m from Utah like a lot of you guys. I’ve been writing JavaScript for five years now or something like that. I just picked it up. I was sick of the engineers at my company telling me that things were impossible. So, I started to show them that it was possible and then ended up getting paid more money. CHUCK:  Is that at Instructure or is that somewhere else? RYAN:  No, that was at a company actually in Idaho. CHUCK:  Ah, I see. RYAN:  So now, I work at Instructure. We build a learning management system for schools and universities. We also have Canvas.net, which is open courses for anyone to take. There are some pretty interesting ones on there like gender and comic books, things like that. It’s a fun place to work, fun product to work on. CHUCK:  Yeah, you inherited a lot of my old coworkers. I used to work for Mozy. RYAN:  Yeah, half our engineering team used to be Mozy.

CHUCK:  Ooh, that’s very good. MERRICK:  I like that. JOE:  A long-term exhaustion. Okay.

MERRICK:  Hey guys. CHUCK:  And I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. This week, we’re going to be talking about our development environments, setups, desk space, chairs, whatever. I’m really curious to see what way you guys have and what wisdom you have to offer. Yeah, let’s get into it. The first thing that I want to ask is, the semi-holy war between Windows machines and Macs and Linux machines. What are you guys all using for your development? MERRICK:  I use Mac. I feel so lost anytime I’m on a Windows machine and set. AJ:  I only use operating systems. So, the only two that I know of that are readily available are Mac and Linux. CHUCK: [Laughter] How about you, Joe? JOE:  I use both, significantly. CHUCK:  Both, meaning both Windows and Mac? JOE:  OSX and Windows. I don’t use Linux. CHUCK:  Awesome. I mostly use Macs.

And we have a special guest, Todd Parker from the jQuery UI team. TODD:  Hey everyone. CHUCK:  You want to introduce yourself really quickly? TODD:  Sure. My name is Todd Parker. I am a partner here at Filament Group in Boston. We’re a small web design shop. And I’m also the project lead for the jQuery Mobile team. And previous to that, I was on the jQuery UI team as well. So, I’m both covered. CHUCK:  Did I say jQuery UI? I meant jQuery Mobile. TODD:  You did. I was covering for you though, it’s okay. CHUCK:  [Laughs] Awesome. Before we get too far into this, I want to make one announcement and that is that I’ve set up an Indiegogo campaign for the network of podcasts that this is a part of. So, we’re trying to build a website that has all the features that people have been asking for. Mostly it has to do with search and some RSS feed management stuff. So, if you would like to support the show, then by all means do so. You can do it by going to Indiegogo.com/projects/DevChat-tv. And I’ll put a link to the show notes so that you can find it. Alright. Well, let’s talk about jQuery Mobile here. I’m a little curious. I’ve played with it a little bit, but I haven’t really had to build too many Mobile sites. So, can you explain a little bit about what the focus is and how it’s different from the jQuery that we all know and love? TODD:  Sure. So, jQuery Mobile started its life, it’s very similar in concept to jQuery UI, so it’s a user interface framework that’s built on top of jQuery core. The difference between UI and Mobile is obviously UI is much more desktop focused, and Mobile is mobile focused. That said, jQuery Mobile, from the beginning,
