The lads @jaredwhite & @ayush are back!

On this #podcast episode:

Where data lives, how to retrieve data, how to change data, how to track updates to data and provide feedback accordingly to the user…in other words, state.

#WebDev can necessitate a wide range of possible options for how you manage state, and in this episode we look at many of the ways this may work from the server to the client and back again.

Also…how the blazes do you pronounce JWT?! 😂

Join us on the #Podcast for a meaty conversation about the various levels of specifications and conventions which make the World-Wide Web go: from TCP/IP to HTTP to WebSockets and beyond.

We also talk about conventions in various languages & frameworks to enable building web applications servers in a straightforward and portable manner, as well as building a personal knowledge base wiki out of Markdown files and an SSG (Static-Site Generator). Let’s fly!

Oh yes, we're BACK!! 🎉🥳

Kicking off our Season 2 with speculation on the conspiracy behind the results publication delay of State of #HTML 2023 (not really!), catching up after our hiatus, and a very entertaining list of all the goodies being worked on by browser vendors as part of Interop 2024.

And is the complexity of the web platform just too damn high? (At least for anyone wanting to author a new browser engine?)

Let’s discuss!

Ah yes, that notorious hard problem in computer science.

Time to name some things as we talk abut the philosophy undergirding software development, why “naming things” is hard but also a core aspect of the job, the sometimes reluctance to name things in as disciplined a fashion on the frontend as on the backend, how to communicate across teams & stakeholders via Ubiquitous Language, the importance of embracing modern #HTML & #CSS semantics, and more!

It’s hard to imagine in this current world of any dot-something you could possibly imagine when looking to register a domain name, but there was once a past era of the internet when all we had was .com, .net, and .org. A dark time. A sad time.

How did we get there in the first place? And how did we eventually arrive here at today’s promised land? Join us for this rousing episode all about: gTLDs! (and IANA, and ICANN, and IETF, and…)
