This week we’re joined by Tom Dale. Tom is a former Apple software engineer who worked on MobileMe and iCloud. He also helped create Ember.js and co-founded Tilde.io with Yehuda Katz.
We took a deep dive into Ember.js, Javascript frameworks, and working with open source projects.
We talked about (roughly in order):
Q & A:
- 16:24 I’m not so experienced with JavaScript, so I really don’t quite understand the potential benefits from using a JavaScript Front End Framework. Could you describe it with your own words and give some examples for real-world use cases?
- 25:45 I’m thinking about learning a JavaScript framework. So far I’ve been recommended to look into Angular and Ember. Which one is better?
- 58:07 How did you get started in open source software? What’s the best advice you have for encouraging others to get started as well, namely designers, writers, etc?
