The panel continues its discussion of various JavaScript programming topics, and whether or not they are required knowledge for JavaScript programmers. This time the debate gets even more heated with topics such as promises and async / await, regular expressions (regex), the DOM and Service Workers. Ultimately we conclude that some you must indeed know to be successful at JavaScript development, but some you just need to know enough about to know to stay away from them.PanelAJ O’NealAimee KnightSteve EdwardsDan ShappirCharles Max WoodLinksJSJ 449: The Things Every JavaScript Developer Must Knowhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454/151312PicksAimee - The MarkupAimee - Yasso Frozen YogurtDan - picks Steve Edwards (volunteer firefighter) for his service and saving livesAJ - XKCD DependencyAJ - YC’s How to Start a StartupAJ - https://webinstall.dev/arcAJ - https://webinstall.dev/un7z (still not working)AJ - HarakaAJ - EmkeiAJ - MxtoolboxAJ - Mail-tester.comAJ - https://blog.codinghorror.com/so-youd-like-to-send-som
