Componentize the web, with Polycasts!

Today at Google, we’re excited to announce the launch of Polycasts, a new video series to get developers up and running with Polymer and Web Components.

Web Components usher in a new era of web development, allowing developers to create encapsulated, interoperable elements that extend HTML itself. Built atop these new standards, Polymer makes it easier and faster to build Web Components, while also adding polyfill support so they work across all modern browsers.

Because Polymer and Web Components are such big changes for the platform, there’s a lot to learn, and it can be easy to get lost in the complexity. For that reason, we created Polycasts.

Polycasts are designed to be bite sized, and to teach one concept at a time. Along the way we plan to highlight best practices for not only working with Polymer, but also using the DevTools to make sure your code is performant.

We’ll be releasing new videos often over the coming weeks, initially focusing on core elements and layout. These episodes will also be embedded throughout the Polymer site, helping to augment the existing documentation. Because there’s so much to cover in the Polymer universe, we want to hear from you! What would you like to see? Feel free to shoot a tweet to @rob_dodson, if you have an idea for a show, and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you’re notified when new episodes are released.
