Software developer at Softwire, Tim Perry (@pimterry), has created a set of "Server Components". These are simple, lightweight tools for "composable HTML rendering in Node.js, broadly following the Web Components browser specification, but on the server side". Rob Dodson (@rob_dodson), Google Developer Advocate & Polymer Legend & Trey Shugart (@treshugart), Atlassian superstar & SkateJS creator, round out the the guests for this episode discussing the reality & the possibilities of using Web Components on the server. Additionally, we look at other projects like the 'Express Web Components' by Jordan Last that take a different approach to this by running Chromium on the server side.
