In this video I do an overview on the topic of web components. I show how I created a custom element using google's polymer library.
Four main web standards discussed:
1. the template tag

2. html imports

3. custom element javascript api

4. shadow dom

I am regularly making videos. My original goal was 1 a week, but that was too hard, so now my goal is 1 video every 2 weeks.
