Episode 09 with Val Head

Why are Apple's product pages so heavy? When is the right time to choose aesthetic wins over performance wins? We explore these questions in today's preshow.

We're also joined this week by web animation expert Val Head. We're taking a deep dive into web animations; how Val got started with animation, the benefits of animations in UI, why you should focus on the problem to be solved and not the tools, how to effectively communicate your animation ideas with your co-workers, and so much more.
