CSS-Tricks Screencast #160: The All-Powerful Front-End Developer

The internet is, without metaphor, just a bunch of servers tied together with wires. Without servers, we'd have no way to share our creations with the world. Yet, in a bit of a paradox, servers are less essential to our work than they've ever been. We can now do things on the front-end that used to require a back end. When we do need a backend, our front-end skills can be put to work, giving us some surprisingly powerful new abilities.

Amazing talk, thank you so much! Just exactly what I needed to be hearing right now as I was sat here scratching my head on what I can do with just my front-end beginner knowledge. Playing with server security and the like is not something I like to do all that much, that's for sure.

Great Screencast Chris, been a big fan of your work on CS tricks for a long time now. Keep it up!

Would love to come to one of the talks one day, unfortunately would require a plane ticket... One day I'll be there!

In the meantime the ol' screencasts are great :)

Thank you Chris!
