Though, we missed a handful of episodes. Otherwise, it would be. Yeah.AJ:  Yeah, whatever. I don’t know whether or not I'm alive. I don’t know when our anniversary is. I don’t know nothing.CHUCK:  [Laughs] We also have Jamison Dance.JAMISON:  Hey guys!CHUCK:  I'm Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. And this week, we’re going to be talking about finding a job.I'm a little curious. AJ, you're freelance now, aren’t you?AJ:  Yeah, kind of.CHUCK:  Kind of.AJ:  Mostly, I'm just working on projects that I've been wanting to work on. I haven't actually sought out a lot of work.CHUCK:  Oh, okay. And Jamison is empris -- or employed.JAMISON:  [Laughs] Or happily employed.CHUCK:  I'm freelance as well, been a freelance for a few years now. So, and I know that Tim went freelance. I don’t know if that stuck or not. It sounded like it has, at least, until he decides he wants to be somewhere else.JAMISON:  Merrick and Joe are both employed though.CHUCK:  Yeah. They both work at Domo.JAMISON:  They're like half and half, I guess, now.CHUCK:  So, how many places have you guys worked at as programmers?AJ:  I just worked at BYU and SpotterRF.JAMISON:  I have worked at four places. But one of them, I did PHP and Drupal. I don’t know if I could count that as a programmer then.CHUCK:  [Laughs] You plucked out the bad memories.JAMISON:  Yeah. Well, it was great for the time. It was [inaudible].CHUCK:  Yeah. I did IT at BYU. I didn’t ever actually work for them as a programmer. And then, I ran tech support at Mozy and I did programming there but it wasn’t part of my job description. My job description was to run the Tech Support Department. So, people would call in with problems with Mozy and we would help fix them. But we needed an Issue Management System, our ticketing system, whatever you want to call it. And we also needed some kind of knowledge base. And the company really didn’t want to spring for it. So, I wound up building it.AJ:  Cool!

I'm the only person on this particular episode whose name does not start with J.We also have -- I know I'm going to destroy this name. Jorn Zaefferer.JORN:  Hi! Yeah, it’s me. You should have practiced the last name too.CHUCK:  Yeah.JOE:  You should pronounce that correctly for us so we know.JORN:  Jorn Zaefferer.CHUCK:  Alright. Well, I can say Jorn. So, I’m going to stick with that.JORN:  Yeah, that works.CHUCK:  Do you want to introduce your self for the people who aren’t aware of who you are and what you do?JORN:  Sure. I'm a freelance software developer since a little bit more than two years now. I am involved a lot in the jQuery project and have been involved in that for years. So far, I'm the only person on the Board of Directors of the jQuery Foundation outside of the US. And for the jQuery project, I'm working mostly on jQuery UI and the testing tools. So jQuery UI, I'm one of the lead developers. One was Scott Gonzalez. For the testing tools, I'm leading that team. So, I'm trying to get contributions from other people so things move along evenly. There’s usually much more work to do than I can handle myself. So, I’m trying my best to get open source going there.CHUCK:  So, you work on jQuery UI and QUnit?JORN:  I’m working on the jQuery UI and the testing tools which involves QUnit and a few other things. QUnit is the one that’s actually featured in the jQuery site. We also have TestSwarm and even smaller tools that eventually should get there as well. It’s much more influx than QUnit is.CHUCK:  Interesting. So, we brought you on the show to talk about QUnit. Joe is kind of our testing guru as far as JavaScript goes. Is QUnit just a unit testing framework or do you provide other tools for integration with a backend or other libraries?JORN:  QUnit focuses mostly on unit testing. But people usually end up using it for other things as well. I heard a story where someone was using QUnit to do performance regression testing.Special Guest: Jörn Zaefferer.

And when this episode goes out, you’re going to have about two weeks left if you wanted to sign up for my Rails Ramp Up course. You’ll find that at RailsRampUp.com. I’ve been working hard on that.This week, we’re going to talk about why JavaScript is hard. And I think it was Tim that came on and said, “So, we’re talking about why JavaScript sucks?” And I didn’t want to call it that but at the same time, it’s one of the -- I think the reasons that people find JavaScript hard and the reasons some people say that JavaScript sucks are kind of the same thing. So, if you want to think of it that way, go right ahead.But I kind of wanted to talk about this for a couple of reasons. One was that I was at the users’ group meeting last week and they talked about some of the things that make JavaScript hard and I don’t remember what they all were. But there were a few things that, there are some concepts that are markedly different from what you find in other languages or at least some of the concepts exist in the other languages but they aren’t kind of as important or as in-your-face as they are in JavaScript.Anyway, the other reason is that I was thinking about when I first started this show. And when I first started the show, I was a web developer that was kind of like, “jQuery, whoo!” And thought jQuery and JavaScript, you know, were mostly the same in the sense that the only way to write sane JavaScript was to use jQuery. And so, I wanted to talk around some of the things that I’ve learned over the last year from the other panelists and help people who are coming into JavaScript understand the real power behind some of these other concepts.So that being said, let’s go ahead and get started. I’m a little curious as to what you guys think are some of the hard things that people run into in JavaScript, like why do they struggle with it?TIM:  Alright.

We were having a conversation a while back, I don’t remember if it was during another episode or after another episode. But we were having a discussion over code complexity and having like small simple libraries or small simple sets of functionality versus large monolithic sets of functionality, and how to approach those and when they’re appropriate. So, we brought you guys on to help us explore this because you're experts, right?TOM:  I don’t think that’s a fair analysis of the situation, but we can certainly fumble our way through something.[Laughter]CHUCK:  Alright. So, why don’t you guys, real quick, just kind of introduce yourselves? Give us a little background on what your experience is so that we know which questions to ask you guys.James, why don’t you start? I know you’ve been on the show before.JAMES:  Hello. I suppose I wrote Browserify which is relevant here. It’s a common JS style, bundler packager thing that just uses NPM. And I have a bunch of other libraries. And I really like doing data development as just a bunch of little modules put together. They are all published completely independently on NPM. I think I’m up to like 230-ish some odd modules on NPM now. So, I’ve been doing that and I really like that style.Special Guests: James Halliday and Tom Dale.

And this week, we’re going to be talking about jQuery.So, I’m assuming we’ve all used jQuery at least a little bit.JAMISON:  Yes.MERRICK:  Yup.CHUCK:  If you’re doing web stuff, it’s pretty handy.MERRICK:  Actually, the first JavaScript code I ever wrote was messing with somebody’s little jQuery stuff on a form. And I remember I couldn’t get it to all work right. So I just had to set async to false. And I was like, “Man, this JavaScript language is stupid!”CHUCK:  [Laughs]AJ:  I wish my first experience had been with jQuery because I was not using jQuery when I was first using JavaScript and it was terribad. It’s like, “This works properly in no browsers!” Because each tutorial is wrong.CHUCK:  Yeah. Well, I remember back in the day when I was using Prototype for my web app. So, jQuery was a huge step up from Prototype, I have to say.MERRICK:  Why?CHUCK:  It’s just that the interface of the API felt better to me. I can’t really quantify how.MERRICK:  That’s fair. I was a big MooTools fan and I was kind of a hate Query, if you will.AJ:  As you should be, actually.MERRICK:  I didn’t hate jQuery per se, but I really loved MooTools just because the APIs were just so beautiful. And also, all of this new age, these structural libraries like Backbone and all that kind of thing was really natural in MooTools already, right? Because everything was so class-oriented and I’m not saying classes are the only way to organize your code.
