He researches technologies and starts new projects all the time, and looks at these new technologies within the market. The panel talks about testing JavaScript in 2018 and https://jestjs.io.Show Topics:1:32 – Chuck: Let’s talk about testing JavaScript in 2018.1:53 – https://medium.com/@vzaidman talks about solving problems in JavaScript.2:46 – Chuck asks https://medium.com/@vzaidman a question.3:03 – Vitali’s answer.3:30 – Why https://jestjs.io? Why not Mocha or these other programs?3:49 – https://jestjs.io is the best interruption of what testing should look like and the best practice nowadays. There are different options, they can be better, but https://jestjs.io has this great support from their community. There are great new features.4:31 – Chuck to Joe: What are you using for testing nowadays?4:43 – Joe: I use Angular, primarily.6:01 – Like life, it’s sometimes easier to use things that make things very valuable.7:55 – Aimee: I have heard great things about http://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/free-and-open-source-software-download-page, but at work we are using another program.8:22 – Vitali: Check out my article.8:51 – Aimee: There are too many problems with the program that we use at work.9:39 – Panelist to Vitali: I read your article, and I am a fan. Why do you pick Test Café over Cypress, and how familiar are you with Cypress? What about Selenium and other programs?10:12 – Vitali: “Test Café and Cypress are competing head-to-head.”Listen to Vitali’s suggestions and comments per the panelists’ question at this timestamp.11:25 – Chuck: I see that you use sign-on...12:29 – Aimee: Can you talk abouthttps://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer? It seems promising.12:45 – Vitali: Yes, Puppeteer is promising. It’s developed by Google and by Chrome. You don’t want to use all of your tests in Puppeteer, because it will be really hard to do in other browsers.13:26: Panelist: “...5, 6, 7, years ago it was important of any kind of https://www.javascript.com testing you had no idea if it worked in one browser and it not necessarily works in another browser. That was 10 years ago. Is multiple browsers testing as important then as it is now?14:51: Vitali answers the above question.15:30 – Aimee: If it is more https://www.javascript.com heavy then it could possibly cause more problems.15:56 – Panelist: I agree with this.16:02 – Vitali continues this conversation with additional comments.16:17 – Aimee: “I see that Safari is the new Internet Explorer.”16:23: Chuck: “Yes, you have to know your audience. Are they using older browsers? What is the compatibility?”17:01 – Vitali: There are issues with the security. Firefox has a feature of tracking protection; something like that.17:33 – Question to Vitali by Panelist.17:55 – Vitali answers the question.18:30 – Panelist makes additional comments.18:43 – If you use Safari, you reap what you sow.18:49 – Chuck: I use Chrome on my iPhone. (Aimee does, too.) Sometimes I wind up in Safari by accident.19:38 – Panelist makes comments.19:52 – Vitali tells a funny story that relates to this topic.20:45 – There are too many standards out there.21:05 – Aimee makes comments.21:08 – https://brutalist-web.design. Some guy has this site – https://brutalist-web.design – where he says use basic stuff and stop being so custom. Stop using the web as some crazy platform, and if your site is a website that can be scrolled through, that’s great. It needs to be just enough for people to see your content.22:16 – Aimee makes additional comments about this topic of https://brutalist-web.design.22:35 – Panelist: I like it when people go out and say things like that.22:45 – Here is the point, though. There is a difference between a website and a web application. Really the purpose is to read an article.23:37 – Vitali chimes in.24:01 – Back to the topic of content on websites.25:17 – Panelist: Medium is very minimal. Medium doesn’t feel like an application.26:10 – Is the website easy enough for the user to scroll through and get the content like they want to?26:19 – https://sentry.io/welcome/ 27:22 – See how far off the topic we got?27:31 – These are my favorite conversations to have.27:39 – Vitali: Let’s talk about how my article got so popular. It’s an interesting thing, I started researching “testing” for my company. We wanted to implement one of the testing tools. Instead of creating a presentation, I would write first about it in Medium to get feedback from the community as well. It was a great decision, because I got a lot of comments back. I enjoyed the experience, too. Just write about your problem in Medium to see what people say.28:48 – Panelist: You put a ton of time and energy in this article. There are tons of links. Did you really go through all of those articles?29:10 – Yes, what are the most permanent tools? I was just reading through a lot of comments and feedback from people. I tested the tools myself, too!29:37 – Panelist: You broke down the article, and it’s a 22-minute read.30:09 – Vitali: I wrote the article for my company, and they ad to read it.30:24 – Panelist: Spending so much time – you probably felt like it was apart of your job.30:39 – Vitali: I really like creating and writing. It was rally amazing for me and a great experience. I feel like I am talented in this area because I write well and fast. I wanted to express myself.31:17 – Did you edit and review?31:23 – Vitali: I wrote it by myself and some friends read it. There were serious mistakes, and that’s okay I am not afraid of mistakes. This way you get feedback.32:10 – Chuck: “Some people see testing in JavaScript, and people look at this and say there are so much here. Is there a place where people can start, so that way they don’t’ get too overwhelmed? Is there a way to ease into this and take a bite-size at a time?”32:52 – Vitali: “Find something that works for them. Read the article and start writing code.”He continues this conversation from here on out.34:03 – Chuck continues to ask questions and add other comments.34:16 – Vitali chimes-in. 34:38 – Chuck. 34:46 – Vitali piggybacks off of Chuck’s comments.36:14 – Panelist: Let’s go back to https://jestjs.io. There is a very common occurrence where we see lots of turn and we see ideas like this has become the dominant or the standard, a lot of people talk about stuff within this community. Then we get this idea that ‘this is the only thing that is happening.’ Transition to https://jquery.com to https://reactjs.org to... With that context do you feel like https://jestjs.io will be a dominant program? Are we going to see https://jestjs.io used just as common as Mocha and other popular programs?38:15 – Vitali comments on the panelist’s question.38:50 – Panelist: New features. Are the features in https://jestjs.io (over Jasmine, Mocha, etc.) so important that it will drive people to it by itself?40:30 – Vitali comments on this great question.40:58 – Panelist asks questions about features about https://jestjs.io.41:29 – Vitali talks about this topic.42:14 – Let’s go to picks!42:14 – https://www.digitalocean.com/ Links:- https://www.facebook.com/vzaidman- https://medium.com/@vzaidman- https://github.com/vzaidman- https://www.npmjs.com/~vzaidman-Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support.

Panel: - AJ O’Neal- Aimee Knight- Joe Eames Special Guests: http://naderdabit.me/#/ In this episode, the panel talks with programmer, Nader Dabit, who has been with Amazon’s AWS for the past six months. They discuss the new innovations that Amazon is currently working on, and the exciting new projects that Nader gets to be involved with. Check out this episode to hear all the latest!Show Topics:1:45 – There are two main things that Nader works with. Check out this timestamp to see what they are.3:29 – AJ to Nader: Tell me more about manage cloud. I am not sure about https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/?ef_id=W5RTKgAAAUa7GPf1%3A20180908225434%3As&s_kwcid=AL%214422%213%21293649588890%21p%21%21g%21%21cognito&sc_campaign=acquisition_USsc_publisher%3Dgoogle&sc_category=Security&sc_channel=PS&sc_content=cognito_p&sc_country=US&sc_detail=cognito&sc_matchtype=p&sc_medium=ACQ-P%257CPS-GO%257CNon-Brand%257CDesktop%257CSU%257CSecurity%257CCognito%257CUS%257CEN%257CText&sc_segment=293649588890.3:56 – https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/?ef_id=W5RTKgAAAUa7GPf1%3A20180908225434%3As&s_kwcid=AL%214422%213%21293649588890%21p%21%21g%21%21cognito&sc_campaign=acquisition_USsc_publisher%3Dgoogle&sc_category=Security&sc_channel=PS&sc_content=cognito_p&sc_country=US&sc_detail=cognito&sc_matchtype=p&sc_medium=ACQ-P%257CPS-GO%257CNon-Brand%257CDesktop%257CSU%257CSecurity%257CCognito%257CUS%257CEN%257CText&sc_segment=293649588890 5:06 – What are the other manage cloud services that companies want to offer through the tools you have?5:12 – Nader answers AJ’s question.7:30 – Can you give me more specifics on the storage solutions you are offering?8:03 – Nader answers AJ’s question. People store websites there for example. Frontend developers are using S3 buckets, and they are using the library, which is a storage solution.9:10 – AJ and Nader are having a dialogue between different situations, and Nader is giving the solutions to those hypothetical situations.10:17 – AJ: “I am interested in what you are talking about https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/. Can you tell me how that works?” AJ is picking Nader’s brain about how https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/ works.11:05 – Nader: “It is a single API layer for a point of entry. You can have multi-data sources.” Nader continues, in detail, answering AJ’s question.12:36 – AJ: As a frontend developer, it sounds like I will have to become familiar with the backend, too. How is it providing the most value? What is it that I do not have to touch, because I am using this?15:37 – How would these relations work? As a frontend developer, and I do not want to learn sequel, how would that might look like; currently or in the future? How do you extract that knowledge?16:18 – Yes, it is not an easy solution to solve. Nader goes into detail about how he would approach this situation.18:26 – AJ: Are these resolvers written in https://www.javascript.com?22:04 – Acronym fun!22:45 – https://nodejs.org/en/ 23:51 – Summarizing these pasts 20-some-minutes: Off-Storage, https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/,https://sites.google.com/site/landismodel/developers, and others are what people are using Amplify for. New Question/New Topic: Simplify.25:45 – https://aws.amazon.com/mobile/ – is not mobile specific.26:44 – If you are using https://angular.io, we have a plugin in https://angular.io to help you. We also have that for React and https://vuejsdevelopers.com as well.27:52 – https://sentry.io/welcome/ 28:56 – What should we be talking about?29:04 – Let’s talk about Amazon’s Lex, https://aws.amazon.com/lex/?ef_id=W5RTKgAAAUa7GPf1%3A20180908230815%3As&s_kwcid=AL%214422%213%21209039218013%21p%21%21g%21%21amazon%2520chatbot&sc_campaign=lex_2017&sc_category=lex&sc_channel=PS&sc_content=chatbot_p&sc_country=US&sc_detail=amazon%2520chatbot&sc_matchtype=p&sc_medium=awns_lex_b&sc_publisher=google&sc_segment=209039218013. Nader goes into full detail of this service.33:52 – https://www.apple.com/tv/ 34:00 – AJ: Sounds like this is more platform/ more agnostic than getting different things to come together, and the Microsoft one is more hybrid and the Amazon one is more open?35:13 – Joe, let’s go back to what you had to ask.35:28 – Nader, you talked about https://www.biznessapps.com/blog/what-is-a-push-notification/ earlier. What is https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/overview?36:30 – Is this like traditional hooks? Or custom?37:25 – What is the “stuff” that gets you up in the morning and gets you excited to go to work at AWS?38:40 – Nader: I really had no desire to change career paths, but it happened.41:30 – AJ: I totally agree with the idea in that finding the common patterns, so that way someone on the lower-level can participate. AJ wants a platform that is open or purchase that can offer some of these benefits. It could be open-source or you used to buy the different tools.43:27 AJ: What about for the hobbyist?43:40 – Nader: I agree, that would be really nice. I can’t think of any free services that would be nice.44:03 AJ – Not free in “free,” but “free” towards the idea of “free speech.” They would all be available and you get to choose what works well for you.45:00 – SHOUTOUT to LISTENERS: Have an idea about this? Shoot the panel an e-mail!45:33 – Hopefully this opens the listeners’ eyes to what’s out there.45:48 – Cloud services.46:55 – Innovation follows niche markets. When something gets big and established, innovation comes to a plateau. The innovation will develop in a new economic area like hydraulics. AJ thinks a niche will develop.49:03 – Is there anything, Dabit, which you would like to talk about?49:15 – Can we talk about https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-technical-content/latest/aws-overview/artificial-intelligence-services.html?51:10 – Nader saw a demonstration recently.52:26 – Hearing these implications is so cool, but when it comes to ML a panelist dabbled a little bit. He watched some videos, unless you want to devote a year or two to learning it then it’s too complex to put together. Do you have to be genius-level to get through?53:29 – ML you are passing data. Nader is not quite sure.56:00 Nader just did a blog post  check-it-out!56:49 – Let’s do Picks!56:50 – https://www.digitalocean.com/ Links:- https://twitter.com/dabit3?ref_src=twsrc%255Egoogle%257Ctwcamp%255Eserp%257Ctwgr%255Eauthor- https://medium.com/@dabit3- https://www.linkedin.com/in/naderdabit/- https://github.com/dabit3- http://naderdabit.me/#/- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7mca3O0DmdSG2Cr80sOD7g- https://egghead.io/instructors/nader-dabit- https://www.javascript.com- https://aws.amazon.com/cognito/?ef_id=W5RTKgAAAUa7GPf1%3A20180908225434%3As&s_kwcid=AL%214422%213%21293649588890%21p%21%21g%21%21cognito&sc_campaign=acquisition_USsc_publisher%3Dgoogle&sc_category=Security&sc_channel=PS&sc_content=cognito_p&sc_country=US&sc_detail=cognito&sc_matchtype=p&sc_medium=ACQ-P%257CPS-GO%257CNon-Brand%257CDesktop%257CSU%257CSecurity%257CCognito%257CUS%257CEN%257CText&sc_segment=293649588890- https://aws.amazon.com/appsync/https://nodejs.org/en/- https://sites.google.com/site/landismodel/developers- https://aws.amazon.com/mobile/- https://vuejsdevelopers.com- https://angular.io-Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support.

Panel: Charles Max WoodAJ O’NealAimee Knight Special Guests: Valeri Karpov In this episode, the panel talks with programmer, Valerie Karpov from Miami, Florida. He is quite knowledgeable with many different programs, but today’s episode they talk specifically about Async/Await and Promise Generators. Val is constantly busy through his different endeavors and recently finished his e-book, “Mastering Async/Await.” Check-out Val’s social media profiles through LinkedIn, GitHub, Twitter, and more.Show Topics:1:20 – Val has been on previous episodes back in 2013 & 2016.1:37 – Val’s background. He is very involved with multiple companies. Go checkout his new book! 2:39 – Promises generators. Understand Promises and how things sync with Promises. Val suggests that listeners have an integrated understanding of issues like error handling.3:57 – Chuck asks a question.6:25 – Aimee’s asks a question: “Can you speak to why someone would want to use Async/Await?”8:53 – AJ makes comments.10:09 – “What makes an Async/Await not functional?” – Val10:59 – “What’s wrong with Promises or Async/Await that people don’t like it?” - AJ11:25 – Val states that he doesn’t think there really is anything wrong with these programs it just depends on what you need it for. He thinks that having both gives the user great power.12:21 – AJ’s background is with Node and the Python among other programs.12:55 – Implementing Complex Business Logic.15:50 – Val discusses his new e-book.17:08 – Question from Aimee.17:16 – AJ answers question. Promises should have been primitive when it was designed or somewhat event handling.17:46 – The panel agrees that anything is better than Call Backs.18:18 – Aimee makes comments about Async/Await.20:08 – “What are the core principles of your new e-book?” – Chuck20:17 – There are 4 chapters and Val discusses, in detail, what’s in each chapter.22:40 – There could be some confusion from JavaScript for someone where this is their first language. Does Async/Await have any affect on the way you program or does anything make it less or more confusing in the background changes?24:30 – Val answers the before-mentioned question. Async/Await does not have anyway to help with this (data changes in the background).25:36 – “My procedural code, I know that things won’t change on me because it is procedural code. Is it hard to adjust to that?” – AJ26:01 – Val answers the question.26:32 – Building a webserver with Python. 27:31 – Aimee asks a question: “Do you think that there are cases in code base, where I would want to use Promises? Not from a user’s perspective, but what our preferences are, but actual performance. Is there a reason why I would want to use both or be consistent across the board?”28:17 – Val asks for some clarification to Aimee’s question.29:14 – Aimee: “My own personal preference is consistency. Would I want to use Promises in ‘x’ scenario and/or use Async/Await in another situation?”32:28 – Val and AJ are discussing and problem solving different situations that these programs33:05 – “When would you not want to use Async/Await?” – AJ33:25 – Val goes through the different situations when he would not use Async/Await. 33:44 – Chuck is curious about other features of Async/Await and asks Val.36:40 – Facebook’s Regenerator 37:11 – AJ: “Back in the day, people would be really concerned with JavaScript’s performance even with Chrome.” He continues his thoughts on this topic.38:11 – Val answers the AJ’s question.39:10 – Duck JS probably won’t include generators.41:18 – Val: “Have anyone used Engine Script before?” The rest of the panel had never heard of this before.42:09 – Windows Scripting Host 42:56 – Val used Rhino in the past.43:40 – Val: “Going back to the web performance question...”47:08 – “Where do you see using Async/Await the most?” – Chuck47:55 – Val uses Async/Await for everything on the backend because it has made everything so easy for him.48:23 – “So this is why you really haven’t used Web Pack?” – AJ49:20 – Let’s go to Aimee’s Picks!50:18 – AJ’s story, first, before we get to Promises.54:44 – Let’s transition to Promises Finally.54:53 – Val talks about Promises Finally.59:20 – PicksLinks:JavaScriptValeri Karpov’s GitHubValeri Karpov’s TwitterValeri Karpov’s LinkedInNew E-Book: Mastering Async/AwaitNodePythonWindows Scripting HostFacebook’s RegeneratorRhinoSponsors:Kendo UISentryDigital Ocean Picks:CharlesYouTube Video “IKEA” by CoultonConferenceAmazon Prime DayAimeeBlog Post ArticleAJIKEAhttps://ppl.familyValhttps://www.npmjs.com/package/servehttp://bit.ly/ultimate-skiinghttp://asyncawait.net/jsjabberNew E-Book: Mastering Async/AwaitSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/javascript-jabber/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/javascript-jabber--6102064/support.
