This State of Affairs

Just a Spec

Where data lives, how to retrieve data, how to change data, how to track updates to data and provide feedback accordingly to the user…in other words, state. Web application development can necessitate a wide range of possible options for how you manage state, and in this episode we look at many of the ways this may work from the server to the client and back again. You may be surprised at some of the “old-school” techniques we end up cheering on in our conversation. Also…how the blazes do you pronounce JWT?! 😂
