In this episode Matt and Mike discuss their own personal inefficiencies and what they're looking at improving upon. It's very important to know what you do well and what you do not - but it is arguably equally as important to know what you want to (and hopefully will) improve on, and what you will not be working on. It's impossible to learn everything, all the time, and being overwhelmed just makes your learning experience more difficult than it has to be.

It's episode 100! It's been a long journey and we couldn't have done it without you - thank you! As apart of our 100th episode celebration we answered your questions in a Q&A style alongside a discussion on the future of HTML All The Things, and how we've grown along this incredible journey. We didn't get to a Web News this week as our episode was already so packed with goodies, we hope you enjoy! Also, we're announcing that we're doing a Wes Bos course giveaway.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss iterative design. No matter what you're designing, or using, it went through some sort of iterations before coming to market. Something as simple as adjusting a font size contributes an iteration and shows a commitment to make a product better. When it comes to web development, if you're not classically trained in design, or UI/UX then iterative design is your best friend - as long as you do your research and pay attention to other modern UI/UX you'll have a great baseline that you can slowly but surely iterate on to eventually make a production-worthy display. Then in the Web News, the guys discuss their Top 10 JavaScript open source repos for May 2020 including: reveal.js, ws, Fuse.js, and more! You can find us on...

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss why coding might not be for you. Many people will just say that you have to keep trying and not give up, and that's absolutely correct, unless of course you find out that coding might not be your thing. We discuss a few of the reasons why coding might not end up being for you at length. Then later we change gears and discuss many of the issues that all developers face, that may make them eager to quit. After all that, this week's Web News features Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and how Microsoft is handling them. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this tidbit, Matt and Mike discuss the recent news that Joe Rogan's JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) podcast will be heading onto Spotify exclusively in just a matter of months. Even though this isn't web dev/design, or small business related - it does affect our medium of podcasting. This also potentially affects the entire structure of podcasting as you used to be able to choose your favourite podcast app and then just listen. Now that we're seeing exclusivity come to light, you may have to have multiple podcast apps just to listen to all your favourite shows. Furthermore, this could affect monetization moving forward as well, where all the podcast apps you have start running premium subscriptions that you will need to subscribe to in order to continue listening. It is important to note that this sort of monetization is not what is happening to JRE, as stated in the announcement the show will remain free on Spotify. You can find us on...

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss something more important than your MVP (Minimum Viable Product), project cornerstones. If a feature of your MVP has no viable substitute, focus on ironing that out first - then move on to the rest. These project cornerstones, if left unattended, can lead to a project's complete failure. Imaging working on the UI, text chat, and overall feel of an app like Snapchat, only to find out that the stack you're using won't allow you to use the camera on iOS devices. Problems like that can easily be overlooked and can just as easily result in hundreds of hours of lost work. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss new and interesting web tech such as web assembly, API- first development, Flutter Web, and much more. By touching on a variety of topics like this you'll be able to better converse with other developers even if you're not fully versed in a how a technology works. You'll also get a bit of a feel of how other parts of your team work and maybe even discover something you're interested in pursuing yourself. Then in the web news, the guys talk about ecosystems, focusing on Edge Chromium versus Google Chrome. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this tidbit/web news, Matt and Mike discuss the difference between Peer-To-Peer(P2P) and Centralized cloud computing methods. Recently the difference between these two cloud computing methods has been brought up due to all the data that we process inside of centralized datacenters that are often owned by large corporations like Facebook and Google. With that, there is cause for concern as to what is happening to that data and how/where it is stored. There is also the concern that most of the software used by larger companies, Facebook for example, is not open source - so it is difficult (or sometimes impossible) to tell exactly what Facebook's software is doing without that source code being available publicly for experts to analyze.

In this episode, Matt and Mike discuss proposing projects to your team in the early stages of an idea. When talking to your team with an idea, it's a lot less formal than preparing research and documentation for an investor, for example. Instead, the idea needs to be mostly flushed out, with some small holes that your team, or additional research can easily remedy. You need and want to sell your team on your idea, so the idea needs to be presented in such a way that you get them excited or interested, not bored and rolling their eyes. Over time as you present ideas to the same people over and over, you'll hone your presentation skills and know what certain people expect in your proposal For example, if there's an accountant on the team, they might want rough numbers on how much it'll cost to make right out of the gate, or may your UX expert wants to know the target audience and devices right away. This week's episode went a little longer than expected so we've spun off our Web News portion in a tidbit that will be published later this week! You can find us on...

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss some of the most popular web design tips, but with a bit of a twist. Instead of just going through the list, the duo tackle them from a developer's point-of-view instead of a designer. As a web developer, especially a frontend developer, it's very common that your job will overlap that of the web designer, or artist. Sometimes you'll not have an artist, or branding expert handy and you'll be left to create a UI all on your own. Luckily iterative designs, familiarity with user interfaces, and a knack for modern design techniques (ie responsive design) are all you need to create a great website. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss taking charge on client projects. Even though you (as the developer/programmer/web dev), aren't the owner of a project, sometimes you need to take charge and just get the project done. Some clients aren't aware of where their job is supposed to end and where yours is supposed to begin, which often times results in long delays and other communication issues. We outline when to take charge, if you should at all, and some other tips/tricks to keep in mind. Then in the Web News we discuss what life is going to be like post-COVID - will things still rely on the internet to function, will take-out be king over eat-in, etc. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this week's episode Matt and Mike discuss learning by doing, rather than learning by tutorials or traditional classes. By working on projects, getting stuck, and then Googling your way through you'll learn faster, have a finished product at the end of the day, and be able to retain what you learned easier because you've researched and implemented the solution yourself. They go through various tactics on how to maximize your learn by doing experience, and then go through an example scenario of how they'd plan a project that they've never done themselves. Then in the Web News, they discuss hardware obsolescence via software with things like Windows 10 + HDDs, and the iPhone battery scandal. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss how to make money online. With so many people stuck at home, anyone without the luxury of being able to work remotely will no doubt be looking at how to bring in a little extra money without breaking quarantine. Often times Google searches on these types of topics will bring up a bunch of different methods from paid surveys, to affiliate marketing, and straight up freelancing. We discuss each of these methods and more in great detail before changing gears over to the Web News where we talk about relieving (or preventing) stress while cooped up indoors. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss where Webflow fits in the current web development landscape. With so many other website builders out there (Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy Website Builder, etc.) and web development tools (ReactJS, Angular, VueJS, etc.) Webflow has its work cut out itself, making their own little space in this very crowded market. Then in a bit of a twist of quarantine stir-craziness, our Web News is actually just focused on discussing some of the biggest video games you've all been playing during this quarantine like Doom: Eternal, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss COVID-19, quarantine, and more importantly Svelte. Svelte is compareable to other tools like ReactJS, VueJS and Angular that are already popular among web developers. What does Svelte bring to the table that these don't already serve up? Then in the Web News, the duo discuss NPM being purchased by Microsoft. Is this good for developers? Or will this give Microsoft too much of a hold over developer tools considering all their recent acquisitions?

This week on the HTML All The Things Podcast, Matt and Mike discuss the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) that's been affecting us all. With social distancing and remote work (working from home) being strongly suggested, or even mandatory in some cases, we discuss our thoughts on the whole situation including how we're holding up, some of our concerns, and what it's like to have so much change in our society so quickly. Then in more programming-related news we discuss our tips for keeping productive if you're new to working from home. We'd love to hear your thoughts, concerns, and and how you're holding up too - so leave a comment, or message us on one of our social channels. You can find us on...

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss office politics, discussing common workplace issues such as cross-personnel delays (probably the most common office politics that we're all susceptible too) and third-party contacts (contacting external teams - usually for support - and having to deal with another company's bureaucracy). Then in the weekly Web News we have catch up with you - the audience - to discuss the future of HATT and talk through managing workloads with side hustles. You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss what they need to do better, specifically what questions you should be asking yourself in a self assessment such as - Am I on track? - What are my strengths? - What are our biggest priorities right now? - etc. By asking these questions of yourself and your team, you'll be able to see where you need to improve and create a plan that will help you reach those improvement goals. These goals can be personal ones, so something like - I need to be calmer when an issue happens at work - or something more professional like - I need to learn a new technology before that next project starts. Slowly but surely as you continually self reflect and work on yourself, you'll become a better employee and a better person (based on your own personal goals of course). You can find us on...

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss last week's poll results, and then take a look at a recent survey conducted by Sitejet. The survey focused on a variety of areas in a web designers job from what troubles them most in their jobs, to how long they think a website should take to make. As an added bonus this week, Matt is looking to take his 2020 UX to the next level by removing the need to charge his smartphone via a cable - going for a completely wireless charging solution in the car and at home. Here's the Sitejet survey for those of you that are interested: https://www.sitejet.io/en/article/web-design-statistics-2020 You can find us on...

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss the customer experience from the start of their project, through completion, and everything that may come after that. When a customer asks you for your help with something it's important that their experience is as comfortable as possible, ensuring that everything you'll be doing is clear and concise, the customer is kept up-to-date (within reason), and that the customer is only contacted when absolutely necessary. With so many other development agencies out there, you need to stand out - your customer experience may be that one key factor that brings more customers to you and not your competitors. Then in the weekly Web News we discuss working too hard. Often times new developers (junior developers) are required, or encourages, to work a lot of overtime - sometimes 60-80 hours per week - with little to no extra compensation on top of their salaries. Is this fair? Should anyone (even newbies) be working this hard, or this much? What about work-life balance? You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

This week Matt and Mike discuss the delicate art of managing multiple projects. We all know that websites, web apps, and other web-related goodies take a long time to make, and often times we have to wait for customers to provide information, or for artists to finish up graphics. Naturally these delays can open up some time in your schedule to work on something else, but rarely do these time frames line up so nicely. As a result, many web agencies and full stack devs alike find themselves juggling multiple projects, on totally different technologies, using completely different languages. After many years of contending with this, Matt and Mike have come up with a list of their own list of advice that should help you navigate this busy and often stress-filled situation. Then in the weekly Web News, we discuss open concept offices. Are they as nice as they appear to be? Or are they just a useless fad with no function? You can find us on... Facebook | Twitter | Instagram RSS | Patreon | Spotify Medium | YouTube | GitHub Reddit | Discord

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss something that plagues any work environment - procrastination. We all procrastinate from time to time, but for some of us it's a real damper on our productivity.

On top of all that, the guy's cover time management - another productivity tool that can make your hours spent working way more productive than they'd usually be. Then in the Web News we discuss mobile device innovations (like the upcoming Microsoft Duo) and how developers deal with different device form factors that might not have a large market share.

In the first episode of 2020, Matt and Mike discuss the differences between templates and custom websites. Digging into whether you should be using templates to quickly spin up websites for customers, or engineering custom websites from scratch. This all of course depends on your skill level, how busy your schedule is, and what your customer's needs are. After all that we jump into our Web News, which focuses on types of CMS and how to determine which one to use. There are basically two types (at a high level) of CMS - one with a full page builder where users can customize a lot of what's on their website - the other with a more guided experience that has users filling in forms that will automatically generate web pages as needed.

In this episode Matt and Mike discuss Google's new cross platform approach to apps called Flutter. While we touched on it in a past episode and deemed it an unknown in terms of whether it'd be sticking around or not. Flutter has grown up significantly since that time, and serves it's purpose as a more affordable cross platform development tool than having multiple app development teams making native apps for Android, iOS, and PC. Then in the weekly Web News, they discuss reliability and how it's been affected since everything is reliant on so many interconnected systems these days. You can find us on...

In this episode Mike makes his return to the show to discuss jQuery and it's popularity. Whenever a new technology emerges the buzz around it seems to take over the reality that the older technologies don't just disappear overnight. The discussion seems to become "who uses X technology anymore?" when in reality, a lot of people use it, a lot of people are just learning it, and a lot of people are going to continue to use it. We discuss this sort of situation focusing on jQuery and the new capabilities of vanilla JavaScript. Then in the weekly Web News we discuss the new 16" Macbook - is Apple listening to the consumer?
