Modern JavaScript Testing: Integration, Contract Testing & AI Tools - JSJ 692

Danny Thompson discusses his road to a successful tech career, after working for years outside the industry (frying chicken at gas-stations). He explains the importance of setting goals and following through, and how to overcome adversity, and handle setbacks. It's simultaneously a very inspirational story, but also filled with lots of very practical advice and action items to pursue. For example, the importance of attending and participating in Meetups and engaging with the local tech community.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightCharles Max WoodSteve EdwardsDan ShappirGuestDanny Thompson SponsorsG2i | Enjoy the luxuries of freelancingScout APM | We'll donate $5 to the open source project of your choice when you deploy ScoutReact Native Remote Conf 2020LinksAI powered resume builderPicksDanny Thompson:Follow Danny Thompson on Twitter > @DThompsonDevJames Q Quick - YouTubeBrad Traversy - YouTubeFlorin Pop - YouTubeAJ O’Neal:TemplateResumeThis Video Is Sponsored By ███ VPN The Wisdom of the Ancients by Sir Francis Bacon Free AudioBook)Aimee Knight:Amazon Web ServicesEco Performance Bamboo Clothing I Handmade I by TransientCraftCharles Max Wood:The One Funnel Away Challenge!Devchat.tv ConferencesSteve Edwards:xkcd: Wisdom of the AncientsCasablanca (1942) - IMDbDan Shappir:Adopt a puppy or other petFollow JavaScript Jabber on Twitter > @JSJabber Special Guest: Danny Thompson.

Yoav Wiess is a Developer Advocate at Google on the Chrome team, and also co-chair of the W3C Performance Working Group. In this episode Yoav explains how JavaScript resources are currently being delivered to browsers, and limitations and downsides with these approaches. He then describes a proposal for an advanced JavaScript delivery method that addresses these limitations. When this proposal is implemented, it will enable much more efficient download of JavaScript into browsers, boosting Web performance. This is a public proposal, and Yoav invites the community to participate in the standardization process.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightSteve EdwardsDan ShappirGuestYoav WeissSponsorsScout APM | We'll donate $5 to the open source project of your choice when you deploy ScoutReact Native Remote Conf 2020LinksJSJ 434: Understanding and Using ES Modules in Node with Gil TayarPicksYoav Weiss McCumskey:Follow Yoav on Twitter > @yoavweiss Scroll to Text Fragment - Chrome Platform StatusAJ O’Neal:Follow AJ on Twitter > @coolaj86The Beatles: Abbey Road(great dynamic range) (note: the title I meant to use)Deno | webinstall.devDan Shappir:"Inspired by @Apple's #WWDC2020, I quickly built WashOSCharlie Gerard 🏳️‍🌈 (@devdevcharlie) / TwitterThe Beatles: a musical appreciation and analysis by composer, Howard Goodall CBESteve Edvards:Going Full Static - NuxtJSAimee Knight:Teach Yourself Computer ScienceFollow JavaScript Jabber on Twitter > @JSJabber Special Guest: Yoav Weiss.

Join the 30-DAY CHALLENGE: "You Don't Know JS Yet"Alex Russell works for Google on the Chrome team and is the lead of Project Fugu which focuses on Web Capabilities and Progressive Web Apps.
