In this episode of GOTO Unscripted, Julian Wood interviews Christian Heilmann, former principal program manager for developer tools at Microsoft. Christian emphasizes the need to break free from the traditional monolithic IDE and debugging tools by leveraging the power of web technology and standardizing extensions. By highlighting the importance of contextual tooling, where interfaces learn from user behavior and provide automated suggestions and simplified workflows, he aims to streamline the development process and make it more accessible, empowering developers to focus on writing code rather than navigating complex environments.RECOMMENDED BOOKSChristian Heilmann & Jens Oliver Meiert • The Developer Advocacy HandbookChristian Heilmann & Russ Ferguson • Beginning JavaScript with DOM Scripting and AjaxChristian Heilmann & Mark Norm Norman Francis • Web Development SolutionsMultiple Authors • Web AccessibilityBlueskyInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!
