What is js-must-watch?

This is a curated collection of educational videos about JavaScript, organized by year from 2009 to 2015. It's essentially a reading list, or rather, a watching list, for people who want to learn JavaScript concepts from talks given by experienced developers at conferences and online courses. The repository is simple: it's just a list with links. Each entry includes the speaker's name, a title that hints at the topic, a link to the video, and how long it takes to watch. Videos cover a wide range of subjects like performance optimization, memory management, newer JavaScript language features, and architectural patterns for building larger applications. Some talks are quick deep dives (under 20 minutes), while others are more comprehensive courses (over an hour). The videos are particularly useful for developers who want to understand how JavaScript works under the hood or learn about language features and best practices from people who helped shape the language itself. For example, talks by Douglas Crockford, who created JSON and was influential in JavaScript standardization, explain foundational concepts. Others focus on practical skills, like Ilya Grigorik's videos on website performance or Pete Hunt's early talk introducing React. Someone learning JavaScript might watch the older talks (2009-2011) to understand fundamentals, then move through the more recent videos to see how the language evolved and what new tools became popular. The collection reflects a snapshot of what JavaScript educators and practitioners thought was important to learn during a specific period. It's worth noting that this list stopped updating in 2015, so while the foundational concepts remain relevant, the specific tools and techniques discussed in newer videos may have shifted significantly in the years since.
