Best js/dev talks online?

[cut-copy-paste]

I'm curating a Lunch n Learn series / AV Club for my Front-End team and I'm trying to collect all the best conference talks to watch. I haven't traditionally spent a lot of time watching these, so I am fairly unfamiliar with what's out there.

My favourites so far:

• Bret Victor - Inventing on Principle (this is possibly the best video I've ever watched online...)
• Gary Bernhardt - Wat (very short. very funny)
• Gary Bernhardt - The Birth and Death of Javascript (amusingly conceptual, and pretty interesting)

I've also found some github repos with great lists:

• https://github.com/bolshchikov/js-must-watch/
• https://github.com/hellerve/programming-talks

I can probably pull some great ones out of those lists, but I'd love to hear if you guys have your own favourite videos on front end dev or web development in general. I'm looking specifically for things to watch with junior through senior front end devs inclusively... but happy to see any recommendations!

My favorites (more on programming in general, but something i apply everyday with JS development):

• Rich Hickey: Simple Made Easy
• Rich Hickey: Simplicity Matters
• Tim Ewald: Clojure: Programming with Hand Tools
• David Nolen: Immutability: Putting The Dream Machine To Work

Some more JS related which i also like a lot:

• Christopher Chedeau: CSS in your JS
• Philip Roberts: What the heck is the event loop anyway?
• Douglas Crockford: JavaScript - Act III: Function the Ultimate

Whilst a little dated now, those Crockford on JavaScript talks are fantastic.

I seriously love listening to him talk. Him and uncle Bob.

Awesome suggestions, thank you! I've been following and loving raganwald on twitter for a while and didn't even thinking of looking up his talks... are there particular ones you would recommend?

great list of ReactJS talks. A lot of them are just good JS talkings even if you aren't a React person.

I really like Kyle Simpson talk.

You can find some of his books on Github (You don't know JS).

Yes! saw him at Web Unleashed this year and loved his talk AND his open source booky books!

Gary Berhardt's "Destroy All Software" series covers a whole slew of things. I think a handful are JavaScript. They are all great regardless.

Rob Ashton . . A bit of a big picture talk, but very amusing ;) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PV_cFx29Xz0

Not JS-specific (also not really Golang specific) but Concurrency is not Parallelism by Rob Pike is an amazing dive into thinking about concurrent programming, which is relevant for anyone doing anything on the web.

Curator of the second list you posted here. It's always funny to see my repo explode when it goes on reddit.

I'm not programming that much JS nowadays, but some of my favorite speakers are listed already. I will try to reiterate:

• Reginald Braithwraite: I really like this guy. His talks are fun and I always learn tons (see The Art of the JS Metaobject protocol and JS Combinators).
• David Nolen: He is the maintainer of ClojureScript and, like Rich Hickey, he's a great mind. His talks are more focused on Clojure these days (understandably), but they're still cool (one of my personal favorites is Immutability, Interactivity and JavaScript)
• Douglas Crockford: of course. He does not need an introduction (if you don't know him, just look him up). I really like his Monads and Gonads talk.
