What's a Stack?

@recursivefunk

2005 Stack

Browsers and servers

@recursivefunk

2005 Front End Was Basic

Browsers didn't do much

@recursivefunk

2005 Back End Was Queen

Servers did everything?

@recursivefunk

2019 Front End Is...

The Browser is a Platform

@recursivefunk

Mobile Devices

Everywhere

@recursivefunk

Mobile Applications

Expectations
