Micro-services have been very popular on the backend for a while now. But can this architecture be applied to the front-end as well? Should it be applied to the front-end? Michael Geers, who literally wrote the book on micro-fronts ends, explains what they are and why they can be a powerful architectural pattern especially when implementing large-scale projects. He also describes how Web Components can be used to enable this type of application architecture.

Components have become the go-to method for structuring and composing UIs on the Web. Usually this means relying on a JavaScript framework such as React, Vue, or Angular. But it turns out that there is a standard mechanism for creating components built into browsers. Ben Farrell who wrote a book on this mechanism - Web Components - joins the panel to explain what they are, how they work, and why they are a great, light-weight alternative to JavaScript frameworks.

Learn to Build Your Own Games with Jason's Course (Get 10% Off with Code DEVCHAT)

Over the years, I've had dozens of developers tell me that they got into programming because they wanted to build video games. Today, it's easier and more approachable than ever. This episode dives into how to get started with game development.


Jason Weimann has built games for big studios and has been teaching others to build video games with the Unity game engine. Jason talks through his journey into game development and explains how others can get started with building all sorts of games using the Unity game engine.


You can get started prototyping a game by dragging a few elements in and writing a minimal amount of C#. Chuck and Jason compare front-end components to game components and then explain the ins and outs of building and designing a game.
