See for yourself as I discuss both code and experiences with Angular 2's beta and release candidates.

Wondering if shattering that glass bubble and walking out with naught but your scheming brain and your last check would just solve, well, everything?

Sometimes your dream job is not in our fair city. But fortunately there are more, wiser companies that understand the benefits of remote workers. This month we will have a panel of people who work from wherever the internet is good, which is most likely right on their couch. Questions will be raised such as: 

• How do you find a remote job?
• Skills needed for a remote worker?
• How long have you been working remotely ?
• What is the nature of your remote job?
• Describe your day.
• and more... 

Our fair panelists include:

Last year, Mediacurrent entered into the Knowabillity Challenge. A challenge to take a non-profit website and make it as accessible as possible. Taking a month to re-design and implement GreyMuzzle.org, we ran into numerous challenges to make a site completely A11y complant. This month we will go into the importance of making your site accessible as well as reviewing some general rules to keep in the back of your mind while designing and developing your next site.

So a little company with an inconsequential social media website (Facebook) builds their own client-side JavaScript framework (React.js) and releases it to the public. What ensues is the biggest upheaval of the JavaScript world since... jQuery? VBScript died? Microsoft finally stopped supporting IE6?

Alonso and Florian recently launched a WordPress plugin and will talk about the technical aspects, as well as the experience of launching, promoting, and providing support for WordPress plugins.

Overview:

A Tag Management System (TMS) like Google’s free Tag Manager (GTM) puts marketers in control of marketing technology by easing deployment of analytics and advertising tags. GTM reduces reliance on development resources for websites and apps and speeds up the site by firing only needed tags through Rules or Triggers. Empirical Path’s Peter Howley will train marketers and technologists alike to migrate and enhance tags, share key user actions and traits across vendors, and save time and resources.
