What this episode covers

Sam and Ryan discuss how transitions in a JavaScript app are typically not exhaustively coded as functions of state, and how that can make them difficult to build. They also talk about different ways to work with complex SVG assets in the browser, using CSS grid for page layouts, and the differences in the React and Ember ecosystems when it comes to small vs. large tools.
