Nuxt Server Components (with Julien Huang)

Welcome to the sixth episode of DejaVue! Alex is joined by another amazing guest - he is a Front-end Developer, Public Speaker and also part of the Nuxt.js core team - Julien Huang. While Michael is still off on paternity leave, Julien and Alex talk about how Julien started to code (during COVID 😲) and when he dabbled into open source, which culminated in joining the Nuxt team and regularly contributing. One of the key feature that Julien is working on are Server Components - so of course the rest of the episode revolves around them. What are they? How do they work? And when should you use them? Julien will go in-depth on all these questions, give some behind the scene looks and "do's and don'ts" advice too! Eventually, the future of Server Components is discussed. Enjoy the episode!
