🏆 Featured talks of the week

Here are the must-watch talks uploaded since the last issue:

1. "dotJS 2024 - Ben Lesh - Thinking About Your Code: Push vs Pull" ⸱ +300 views ⸱ 11 Jul 2024 ⸱ 00h 21m 00s

   We're going to explore a different way of thinking about code. What does it mean for your code to "push"? What does it mean to "pull"? What primitives exist in JavaScript, and what are their strengths and weaknesses?

2. "TDD & DDD from the Ground Up (Live Coding) - Chris Simon - NDC Sydney 2024" ⸱ +2k views ⸱ 13 Jul 2024 ⸱ 01h 06m 22s

   Join me for a live coding demonstration that will show you how to apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) from the very beginning of a project so you can bring DDD in when you need it.

3. "What you can learn from an open-source project with 300 million downloads - Dennis Doomen" ⸱ +2k views ⸱ 11 Jul 2024 ⸱ 00h 56m 13s

   After more than 10 years of development, our pet project, Fluent Assertions has almost reached the 250 million downloads. Providing a high quality library like that doesn't come for free. We've been trying to write code that is clean enough for our contributors, write tests that are self-explanatory, ensure breaking changes are strictly controlled and try to make it easy to use. In this talk, I'd like to share the tools and techniques we have been using, how they've enriched our day jobs, and how they may do that for you too. I'll talk about the release strategy, documentation, versioning, naming conventions, code structure, the build pipeline, automated testing, code coverage, API change detection, multi-targeting and more.

4. "Talks - Sebastian Buczyński: Having fun with pydantic and pattern matching" ⸱ +100 views ⸱ 17 Jul 2024 ⸱ 00h 31m 50s

   Pattern matching has been with us since Python3.10. Since the introduction of the match-case statement, we've got a powerful and elegant tool to control the flow of the program. This talk is to showcase a real-world scenario of handling different messages coming from a broker, using match-case and Pydantic.
