In this talk we’ll take a look at those top issues that plague JavaScript projects around the world, we'll see why they are issues, and finally how to spot and avoid those common errors, issues or anti patterns. By the end of the talk you’ll feel more confident in your codebase and maybe have a few things to fix.
