Here are 10 videos that every web developer should watch

Learning how to become a web developer takes time.

There is a tremendous amount of information that you need to understand before you can call yourself a web developer. Luckily, there is no shortage of freely available information on the internet. I have collected a few videos that I think every web developer should watch at least once.

This post originally appeared on bandwidth blog.

JavaScript

Every web developer should know JavaScript back to front. This lecture series by Douglas Crockford is a fantastic starting point. You will still need to practice coding but these videos should give you a solid foundation.

Performance

Ilya Grigorik breaks down what it takes to build a mobile site that breaks the 1000ms time to glass barrier.

Tooling

In recent years, a whole host of tools geared at making front end developers more productive have hit the market. The right set of build, packaging and scaffolding tools will allow you to handle more complex projects with much less overhead.

Design

People have come to expect exceptional quality in both visual and interaction design. In this video, Alex Faaborg, Christian Robertson from Google give you an advanced crash course in interactive and visual design.

Happy coding!

Since I was young I always preferred teaching myself to learning from a structured syllabus.

This didn’t always make me popular with my teachers. I guess sleeping through the whole of Romeo and Juliet in an English class doesn’t make a great impression. On the other hand I formed an obsession with always researching something.

Over the years these obsessions would jump from topic to topic ranging from physics to lean manufacturing. Photography to functional programming. Cognition to physiology and strength training. Kitesurfing to fire poi. My obsessions may be random but are always led by my curiosity.

Over time I noticed that I was forming connections and finding patterns in unrelated fields and using knowledge I gained from studying the rudiments of things like cognitive psychology when trying to figure out why I was seeing certain behaviours in the teams I was working in.

I'm interested in communicating those underlying principles and connections in a way that is useful to others.

I have been working as a programmer, architect and manager for the last 12 years so there is a strong bias to helping junior programmers and software development teams improve.

I focus on underlying principles and not technologies.
