This Web Site is a Tech Talk

Over the weekend I was finishing up some polish on the slides of my most recent conference talk when my daughter walked in to my office. We decided to record a short video of that interaction and put it up on Twitter.

Needless to say, the tweet—uh—went much further than I expected.

If you’re at all curious how we did it, I’ll explain it and more in this talk about building web sites. The talk also delves into Single Page Applications, Multi Page Applications, modern JavaScript Frameworks, and what I believe to be a better future for web development.

I think I’ve put more work into this @smashingconf talk than any other talk I’ve given in my life 😅😅😅—October 9, 2020

I am really excited and nervous to give this talk but I also want to punch past me for being obsessed with this weird idea—October 12, 2020
