DESCRIPTION

Technical Challenges from Front-end Interviews Can you build an event binding system in ten lines of code? Do you know what problems border-box incurs? It just so happens that the most common front-end tech interview questions span the most interesting corners of browser technologies. In this talk, Shawn Drost will give you a taxonomy of interview questions, dive deep into solutions, and collate your best resources for further study. You'll leave with a stronger grasp of the technologies you use every day, and a roadmap for success in interviews. The material is drawn from the curriculum of Hack Reactor, an immersion school that routinely leads software engineers toward 5 figure increases to their skills and marketability.
