The NavBar

Aug 18 2022 • 38 mins

In this episode, Jon and Simon go through a little history lesson of the web, and explain how the classic client server architecture has evolved into this thing we call "The Edge". Additionally, they talk about different caching options and how to bust that cache when the value is no longer accurate.
