John Resig Interview at Boagworld Podcast

In a recent Boagworld podcast, Paul Boag interviews John Resig, creator of jQuery. Boagworld is a weekly podcast show that talks about topics for people who design, develop and run websites.

In this snipet of the full weekly podcast, Paul asks John questions such as: when is it appropriate to use a JavaScript library; do people need to learn JavaScript before using a library, do libraries hide too much, what are some pros and cons of choosing a library, and much more.

Feel free to listen to all Boagworld’s podcasts or learn and talk to other fellow designers in their forum.
