Many websites these days have to deal with the reality of incorporating third-party scripts. These could be tracking scripts or analytics or monitoring, or even scripts that add explicit features to a site, such as chat. Regardless of the purpose, such scripts add complexity and overhead, and can interfere with the proper operation of the site. In this episode Ben Vinegar, VP of engineering at Sentry, joins the panel to discuss the complexities and implications of third-party scripts, both from the perspective of website developers, as well as from the perspective of the developers creating such scripts.

For Web apps to be useful and successfully compete with native applications, they need to be able to access device features, such as the camera, local file system, Bluetooth, and more. Obviously such a mechanism needs to be secure and respect user privacy. In this episode Thomas Steiner, a Developer Advocate for the Web at Google, joins to discuss Project Fugu, and the benefits and capabilities that it already provides, and will provide in the future. Thomas, who is actively involved in this project, explains the design and development process for this project, and how it’s being rolled out and tested.

In this episode the panel discusses various programming topics, and whether or not they are required knowledge for JavaScript programmers. This includes topics such as scopes and hoisting, closures, the event-loop, and the behavior of this. For each such topic, the panel discusses whether or not JavaScript devs are required to know and understand them in order to write better code, or pass job interviews, or to understand existing codebases. Alternatively, if these are topics that JavaScript developers don’t need to know, and maybe should even avoid.
