30: too much JavaScript
Our industry grows with a burst. Have you thought a couple of years ago that at the conference with JavaScript in its name we'll dive deep into AST, study inline assembler to get a better understanding of V8 and be interested in Rust (cause that's WebAssembly!)? This talk answers three questions Ilya is always being asked by his students:
- How to understand what is a necessary thing to learn and what is just hype?
- How to structure information to master it as soon as possible?
- Which way to run?
Ilya hates abstract talks about spaceships sailing the universe. His goal is to make the talk's participants if not understand, what, how and when to learn in JavaScript, then at least to have a vision of how to get this understanding.
