Ideas & Topics for Web Dev monthly meeting

Specials have dones this recently...
Ah yes! Event debouncing, definitely one I'd like to see covered.
In a similar vein a guy at the FT wrote a small lib 'FastDom' for batching up DOM read/writes, to prevent layout thrashing:

- Better understanding of purpose and focus of unit testing and acceptance testing (I vote Kenny)
- Componentisation via NPM (Maslen mentioned a way to do this via Package.json) or if not that then Bower or Component
- Refactoring code (when and how - e.g. smells to look for)
- View/Templating languages (John/Kenny/Maslen had some opinions on this I believe: Mustache, twig etc)
Test metrics (how long our tests take to run, how to identify problems and how to improve our suite). Not volunteering; it's more of a request :)
I can talk at you all about tests no problem :)
I'm happy to talk about "Sandbox, Virtualisation, Vagrant, and other tools"
I would be keen to discover what everyone thinks about the metrics on the test suite(s), and I think that we should as a matter of course be considering ways to improve them in terms of utility in every way, so this ought to be agenda imho...
- Web Components
- Modern JavaScript Guidelines
- JS Supersets (like TypeScript etc.) for agnostic module writing (write with the Future, compile into legacy JS)

Interesting industry stuff:
Instead of resetting everything to zero and applying styles, we should add specific styles directly to elements.
Interesting because Guardian and GDS are doing it, and also because its about defining typographic style independently of CSS components.

Using RAF to keep a steady 60fps. This is a nice technique I've seen used in a few places in BBC News, its about not thrashing event callbacks. Instead fire one every 16ms.
