#024 - Behind HTMX: Carson Gross on the re-Rise of Hypermedia
This is a podcast about backend development, so I couldn't miss the chance to chat with Carson Cross, the creator of HTMX and author of the book Hypermedia Systems. HTMX is all about giving backend developers the power to build modern webapps, without needing to write a line of frontend JavaScript. In a way, it's a return to the way the web used to work pre-React.
