Micro-services have been very popular on the backend for a while now. But can this architecture be applied to the front-end as well? Should it be applied to the front-end? Michael Geers, who literally wrote the book on micro-fronts ends, explains what they are and why they can be a powerful architectural pattern especially when implementing large-scale projects. He also describes how Web Components can be used to enable this type of application architecture.PanelDan ShappirSteve EdwardsGuestMichael GeersSponsorsDexecureRaygun | Click here to get started on your free 14-day trialLinksTwitter: Jason MillerTwitter: Michael GeersManning | Micro Frontends in Action (40% off Manning Code: podjsjabber19)The Tractor StoreGrid Garden | Ein Spiel um CSS Gridzu lernenFlexbox Zombies | Mastery GamesGrid CrittersDevchat.tv: Podcast Guest Preparation InstructionsMicro Frontend- extending the microservice idea to frontend developmentPicksDan- US Election 2020Michael- Learning Software and Well Crafted Interactive Learning SolutionsMichael- Morse Typing TrainerSteve- The Greatest Showman (2017)Special Guest: Michael Geers.Sponsored By:Raygun: Raygun now offers Real User Monitoring of Core Web Vitals.

But it turns out that there is a standard mechanism for creating components built into browsers. Ben Farrell who wrote a book on this mechanism - Web Components - joins the panel to explain what they are, how they work, and why they are a great, light-weight alternative to JavaScript frameworks.PanelAimee KnightAJ O’NealDan ShappirSteve EdwardsGuestBen FarrellSponsorsRaygun | Click here to get started on your free 14-day trialLinksBen Farrell: Web Components in Action lit-htmllit-html: Styling TemplatesCombo Box-UI5 Web ComponentsDevchat.tv-JSJ 424: UI5 and web components with Peter MuessigBen Farrell: Web Components in SpaceJavaScript Reaches the Final Frontier: SpacePicksAimee- You should expect "equal pay for equal work" at your new remote jobAJ- Keeping things fresh with stale-while-revalidateAJ- Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath AJ- Ready Player Two by Ernest ClineAJ-OpenAudibleBen- Medium by AdobeBen- Gravity sketchBen- TvoriDan- Web performance case study: Wikipedia page previewsSteve- 13-inch MacBook ProSpecial Guest: Ben Farrell.Sponsored By:Raygun: Raygun now offers Real User Monitoring of Core Web Vitals.

The panel continues its discussion of various JavaScript programming topics, and whether or not they are required knowledge for JavaScript programmers. This time the debate gets even more heated with topics such as promises and async / await, regular expressions (regex), the DOM and Service Workers. Ultimately we conclude that some you must indeed know to be successful at JavaScript development, but some you just need to know enough about to know to stay away from them.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightSteve EdwardsDan ShappirCharles Max WoodLinksJSJ 449: The Things Every JavaScript Developer Must Knowhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/151312PicksAimee - The MarkupAimee - Yasso Frozen YogurtDan - picks Steve Edwards (volunteer firefighter) for his service and saving livesAJ - XKCD DependencyAJ - YC’s How to Start a StartupAJ - https://webinstall.dev/arcAJ - https://webinstall.dev/un7z (still not working)AJ - HarakaAJ - EmkeiAJ - MxtoolboxAJ - Mail-tester.comAJ - https://blog.codinghorror.com/so-youd-like-to-send-some-email-through-code/Steve - https://blog.logrocket.com/new-features-in-vue-3-and-how-to-use-them/Charles - https://brendon.com/podcast/Charles - https://stimulusjs.org/Charles - https://github.com/alpinejs/alpineSupport 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.
