Unveiling 𝗥𝘅𝑓𝑥: Concurrency Control and Error Handling in User-Centered Development- RRU 245

Today we talk with Fred Schott , the co-creator of Astro, a web framework focused on improving performance. Built around island architecture, it leverages HTML over javascript where it’s an option. Astro is a great option for those who focus on content, marketing, or personal blogs, and it is a great option to use with React. In this episode we talk about when it makes sense to use Astro, and how to implement it.

In today's all panelist episode we address web development controversies: state management tools, CSS in JS, GraphQL or REST, and, of course, tabs versus spaces. And the rule is: there's no saying "It depends." Listen to the panelists take hard line stances on things that matter (and things that don't), and try to defend their choices. It's a fun episode for everyone, and we'd love to hear about your own controversial coding decisions.  SponsorsTop End DevsCoaching | Top End DevsLinksDiscord - A New Way to Chat with Friends & CommunitiesPicksJack- Solo StovePaige- BULLET TRAINTJ- Portal Companion Collection for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Official SiteAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/react-round-up--6102072/support.

In today’s episode we talk with Atila Fassina, a developer experience engineer working at Xata.  As a fan of both, Atila compares Next.js and Remix, comparing their similarities and differences.   We also talk about how Xata makes dealing with databases more comfortable.  This server-less database, which is hidden behind an API, provides users with some nice abstractions, such as instant migrations, and analytics and a search engine right out of the box.  Our discussion includes partial routing, Remix mutations, and layout RFC.
