I’m a programmer, musician, and author of Rails, Angular, Postgres, and Bootstrap, “The Senior Software Engineer”, and “Build Awesome Command-Line Applications in Ruby 2”. I speak frequently at national and regional conferences and spend my days currently as a Director of Engineering at Stitch Fix. I’ve written applications in C, Java, Ruby, Scala, and many others, on large and small teams. As a developer, I believe in clean code, making it right, providing a great user experience and using the right tool for the job. As a bass player, I believe in using a pick, locking it down, and ripping off Peter Hook. As an author, I insist on the Oxford Comma, try to avoid semi-colons, and have removed “very” and “thing” from my dictionary.

JavaScript: Islands, Sprinkles, and Frameworks with Zach Briggs and David Copeland
March 8th, 2017 | 42 mins 52 secs
developer, javascript
Dave Copleand (@davetron5000) and Zach Briggs (@theotherzach) join Noel Rappin (@noelrap) for a Tech Done Right discussion of JavaScript practices. When does it makes sense to build single page JavaScript app? How can your JavaScript and Rails interact? Is it an island of interactivity or a sprinkle of JavaScript? Which frameworks are handling community management well (hint: not Angular)? And how do you test any of this?
