030: With Rebecca Murphey
This week we were joined by Rebecca Murphey. She is a JavaScript developer currently working for Bocoup and creating a training curriculum (something she has experience in doing). Her blog is a must-read for modern day JavaScript devs. We talk about (roughly in order):
News’n'Links’n'Drama
- $foo syntax for CSS variables dropped. Good or bad?
- Rebecca’s Net Mag drama: an official statement.
Q & A
- Do you prefer function declarations or expressions and why?
- Is JavaScript at it’s peak? What is JavaScript’s future?
- What do we think about Adapt.js for responsive design?
- GitHub Etiquette
- How do you write tests when your only public functions are init();?
- Is it OK to charge when you’re still learning?
