Podcast

For more than two years I've used Frontend First to talk about whatever's going on in my day-to-day life doing frontend development, along with my co-host Ryan Toronto.

While we originally focused on Ember.js, these days we talk about whatever's happening in the world of JavaScript UI development.

Check out some of my favorite episodes below.

I loved this conversation because Adam does a great job breaking down the utility-first CSS approach to its first principles.
