How to Livestream Code and Design on Twitch

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

You can build single page applications with JQuery and/or AngularJS. In this lesson, John will look at some of the fundamental differences between the two approaches.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

The React Developer Tools are an extension that can be added to Chrome and Firefox to help with debugging React applications. In this lesson, we walk through how to use these developer tools to view, edit, and debug your React components, including: the `React` browser tab, inspecting components in parallel with the `Elements` tab, using React components in the console, searching by component name, and debugging component state and props.

WAI-ARIA, the Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite, defines a way to make Web content and Web applications more accessible to people with disabilities. It especially helps with dynamic content and advanced user interface controls developed with Ajax, HTML, JavaScript, and related technologies.

Animations can make people sick, or worse! By adding animation toggles and listening in to the user's system preference for reducing motion on OSX and iOS, we can give them more control over our interfaces. Animation can be a safety issue; let's do something about it!

Warning: there is a flashing animation in the video.

jQuery is a fast, small, and feature-rich JavaScript library. It makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler with an easy-to-use API that works across a multitude of browsers. With a combination of versatility and extensibility, jQuery has changed the way that millions of people write JavaScript.

There are many ways of animating stuff on the Web. For example we can use CSS animations, vanilla JavaScript or jQuery library.

In this lesson we are going to learn how to use jQuery `slideUp()`, `slideDown()` and `animate()` functions to animate elements on a webpage in an easy and efficient way.

The Chrome Developer Tools (DevTools for short), are a set of web authoring and debugging tools built into Google Chrome.

The axe browser extension (for Chrome and Firefox) is an immensely helpful tool for auditing web pages for accessibility defects.  This extension is powered by the same rules engine developed by Deque Labs in their axe-core open source library which also powers the react-axe development tool.  Each reported defect offers a ton of information about the defect, why it's a problem, severity level, groups impacted and ways to fix the defect.  This can be a great resource for learning more about how to write accessible code.

tota11y is a great tool to add to your accessibility auditing toolkit.  tota11y is a browser extension available for Chrome and Firefox that helps visualize accessibility violations (and successes), while educating on best practices.  It can make for a really helpful supplement to other accessibility auditing tools.

Using our accessibility auditing toolkit we can find issues concerning landmark regions in our web application.  The react-axe library will report findings in the JavaScript console of the browser.  We could also run the axe browser extension to see the same results.  The tota11y browser extension will annotate any landmark regions on the page and therefore if none are annotated it may indicate that they aren't any (_NOTE: tota11y will only annotate landmark regions using aria roles and not those using HTML5 elements_).  Finally using the VoiceOver Rotor in Safari will show us whatever landmark regions have been defined in the Landmarks menu.

While there are many useful tools and toys to pull together for a livestream, the truth is you don't need any of them to start.

What gear do I need to livestream?

It's likely that you will have many streams where no one is there, or people are there and they aren't telling you they are. Does it matter?

What if nobody comes to watch my livestream?

[Streamlabs](https://streamlabs.com/) has two major halves: Streamlabs OBS, which is an OBS competitor, and Streamlabs-the-SaaS, which includes tools like chatbots, polls, giveaways, and loyalty rewards.

WTF is Streamlabs?

Many streamers use colorful banners on their stream pages that reflect their branding. Here's how you can create and use them.
