I’m excited to share with you a new series of videos coming to the Voitanos YouTube channel: Browser Native! Browser Native teaches developers about features that have historically been handled by frameworks and libraries and are now supported natively by modern browsers.
The first two episodes dropped yesterday, including episode 8 of CloudDev Clarity which doubled as the introduction to the series. In that episode, Julie Turner is joined by Microsoft’s Bob German to explain how they came up with the idea and where two of them hope to take it.
You’ll see a new installment of the series released over the next few days covering topics including:
- arrow functions
- classes
- async & await vs. Promises
- query selectors
- template literals
What is Browser Native?
Here’s how Bob & Julie explain what Browser Native is all about:
