In his talk, Eddie deploys a fake startup going through the whole pipeline: building the application, containerizing an application and shipping it off to Kubernetes. Shamiq, talks about how the conventional approach to security is to consider it at the very end after all developer has wrapped up their work and why that should change. Jasmine explains more in-depth what it means for a big corporation like Delta to be in a Vendor Lock.

In this episode, the panel interviews Austin Gil, author of Vuetensils. Austin begins by explaining that Vuetensils is and why he wrote it. Vuetensils is a UI library filled with naked components that make it easy to build accessible apps. The panel explains that it is not as opinionated as other libraries making it easy to style yourself.  The panel discusses the need for accessibility and how painful it can be to write accessible apps. Austin explains that developers are what make accessibility hard. The web was designed to be accessible but incorporating design and style complicates it. Austins shares some of the components in Vuetensil and what they do for your app.  Vuetensils, Austin explains is designed to be as out of the way as possible while still giving you what you need. He explains how it differs from libraries like Vuetify and Bootstrap, with these tools you get everything. Vuetensils makes you choose the components you want, forcing you to stay lightweight. Vuetensils is ideal for small projects where you don’t need a lot of UI components.  Finally, the panel discusses the testing of Vuetensils. Austin explains that the library is still young and that he is still working on testing. He explains his plans for the future of Vuetensils and what it will take to get to a version 1 release.

After giving a brief overview of her talk to Charles, Ire defines progressive enhancement for the listeners.    Walking through how progressive enhancement works, she explains how Headless Chrome and Cloudinary helped her with the project she shared in the talk. Ire and Charles consider the blindspot that developers experience because they work on high-end devices and how using progressive enhancement helps those who use lower-end devices.   Ire shares her experience with JAMstack and explains how progressive enhancement works with JAMstack. Charles shares his experience using JAMstack. The episode ends with Ire giving advice and resources to help get started with progressive enhancement.    Next, Charles interviews Shawn Erquhart work runs the Netlify CMS project.

Tammy gives listeners a sneak peek into her talk about website performance, more specifically JavaScript performance. Charles discusses the performance of Devchat.tv and Google Lighthouse scores. Tammy explains that while Google Lighthouse is good it isn’t completely reliable and can miss chunks of time when your JavaScript is failing and you have unhappy users. Tammy shares ways to drill down and see how your JavaScript is behaving in the wild. She talks about blocking Javascript which every developer is familiar with and non-blocking JavaScript that has high blocking CPU time which makes for janky sites. Tammy and Charles discuss what CPU is and what it measures. Tammy names resources and tools to help avoid this problem.  Rules of thumb for avoiding these issues are explained by Tammy. First, Reduce, make sure all the JavaScript needs to be there. Next, Monitor, track your metrics. She also suggests working with vendors and maintaining a performance budget for metrics that matter. The interview ends with a little about Speedcurve and what they do. Tammy is the CXO of Speedcurve.  Panelists Charles Max Wood Guest Ire Aderinokun Shawn Erquhart Tammy Everts Sponsors   Sentry– use the code “devchat” for two months free on Sentry’s small plan CacheFly   Links https://jamstackconf.com/sf/https://speedcurve.com/https://twitter.com/tameverts?https://buycoins.africa/https://www.netlify.com/https://www.netlifycms.org/https://twitter.com/erquhartHeadless Chrome & Cloudinary for progressively enhanced dynamic contenthttps://github.com/ireade/caniuse-embedhttps://ireaderinokun.com/https://twitter.com/ireaderinokunhttps://github.com/ireadehttps://www.facebook.com/ViewsonVuehttps://twitter.com/viewsonvueSpecial Guests: Ire Aderinokun, Shawn Erquhart, and Tammy Everts.

This episode of Views on Vue is coming to you live from Microsoft Ignite with Charles Max Wood. With the changes in Views on Vue show and its hosts, Charles has decided to learn more of the Vue language. In order to do this he will be enrolling himself and whoever else wants to learn the Vue language to a Vue challenge. He describes the #100daysofvuechallenge he will launching which was modeled after a fitness challenge he did earlier. The developer who wants to be a part of the #100daysofvuechallenge has to commit a piece of code everyday and read up on blogs articles and other resources on Vue developing everyday. Charles himself will commit an hour a day to this everyday. Charles also talks about another app he is working on for people who produced podcasts can use. There is a recording technique called the "Double Ender" where two people recording a podcast remotely essentially sound like they are in a studio together. Most often podcasts are recorded on the same sound wave and if there is a lawn mover or a dog barking or some other noise while the person is talking it is harder to remove that on a single sound wave. What Charles is working on will remove this inconvenience, because people will be recording on their own sound waves, if there are two people asking two questions while talking over each other will sound like there is only one person asking one question.
