About this episode

Douglas Crockford is an American computer programmer who is involved in the development of the JavaScript language. He specified the JSON data format, and has developed various JavaScript related tools such as the static code analyzer JSLint. Crockford is also a game developer and worked at Atari.

Douglas joins the podcast to talk about his career and work in computer science.

Josh Goldberg is an independent full time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem. He works on projects that help developers write better TypeScript more easily, most notably on typescript-eslint: the tooling that enables ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh regularly contributes to open source projects in the ecosystem such as ESLint and TypeScript. Josh is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and the author of the acclaimed Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), a cherished resource for any developer seeking to learn TypeScript without any prior experience outside of JavaScript.
