One of the curious things about teaching myself to become a front-end developer is that, although I have read books on the subject; the majority of my learning has been absorbed via the web itself. I feel that with the exception of the a list apart books, printed media never really kept up with the rate of change in the practice

In this post, I intend to try and catalogue some of the conference talks and other videos that have shaped my thinking. If you’re only interested in JS talks… broaden your horizons and WATCH THESE INSTEAD…. 🤐 ( I’m joking here is a great list of javascript talks)

This is in no particular order, and is mainly so I can have a place to save them for my own devices.
