How to Write an Open Source JavaScript Library
Instructor
Kent C. Dodds
Publishing a JavaScript library for public use requires some extra steps. You need to think about how people will use the library. From end users, to contributors your library now has a variety of people outside of yourself potentially making use of the code that you've released into the wild.
From Github and npm, to releasing beta versions, semantic versioning, code coverage, continuous integration, and providing your library with a solid set of unit tests, there are a ton of things to learn.
This series will guide you through a set of steps to publish a JavaScript open source library.
