This week we were joined by Merrick and Jamison from the Javascript Jabber podcast. They are both super awesome at javascript and very handsome.
We talked about (roughly in order):
News’n’Links’n’Drama:
Q & A:
- 19:00 I’m in the process of building my first real web app. I’ve been researching the best way to handle authentication and some have suggested to use pre-written scripts, while others have suggested using a framework. What should I do?
- 30:33 I would like to lazy load images on my website to speed up performance, however I am concerned about the fallback issues, users without JavaScript will get no images. Will putting the images in a
noscript tag solve this problem? What is your view on this? - 37:01 Do you know of any awesome web or print resources for learning unit testing in Javascript?
- 45:52 Everything I know I have learned from “just building websites” but with that style of learning, comes an urgency which often makes me feel like I may not have picked up on some of the finer points. Do you have any advice?
