#### General Questions:

* What did you learn yesterday/this week?

*Object.create is a constructor pattern created by Douglas Crockford to offer a less "obscured" method than the 'new Object'.*

* What excites or interests you about coding?

*The infinite possibilities, the power of creation.*

#### HTML Questions:

* What does a `doctype` do?

*Doctype is a required declaration to inform the brower the HTML version used in the page, also required for legacy reasons.*

* What's the difference between full standards mode, almost standards mode and quirks mode?

*It's possible to define through the 'doctype' declaration in wich mode the template engine will operate:*

1 - Full standard mode: the behavior described by the current HTML and CSS specifications
2 - Almost standards mode: includes some quirks implementation
3 - Layout emulates nonstandard behavior, its used for legacy

#### CSS Questions:

* What is the difference between classes and IDs in CSS?

*1 - Class uses a period(.) followed by the name of the class, can be used on a group of elements with common attributes.*

*2 - ID uses the hash(#) followed by the name of the ID, should be unique and it's more specificic than classes(overrides the same attributes setted by classes of that element).*

#### JS Questions:

* Explain event delegation

*A pattern used to assign an event handler to the parent or a common ancestor of the elements. Is commonly used to avoid batch assignments.*

#### Testing Questions:

* What are some advantages/disadvantages to testing your code?

* Advantages: reduces code refactoring time, reduces long-term costs, delivery a safer code.*
* Advantages: increases workflow complexibility, increases short-term costs.*

#### Performance Questions:

* What tools would you use to find a performance bug in your code?

*Chrome Devtools Timeline with the paint flashing option on.*

#### Network Questions:

* Traditionally, why has it been better to serve site assets from multiple domains?

*HTTP1.1 can't handle multiplexing, only one request can be outstanding on a connection at a time using the current protocol. One workaround is to use multiple source domains.*

#### Coding Questions:

* Question: What is the value of `foo`? *
```javascript
var foo = 10 + '20';
```
*Due to JS internal type coercion rules, the result is the string "1020"*
