JavaScript is everywhere. In the old days, being a JavaScript developer meant that you were a front end web developer. Forever bound to the browser. Those days are gone. The rise of Node.js ushered in a new era. An era where being a JavaScript developer
Nowadays, with any Web app you build, you have dozens of architectural decisions to make. And you want to make the right ones: You want to use technologies that allow for rapid development, constant iteration, maximal efficiency, speed, robustness and more. You want to be
Node.js Node.js has an event-driven architecture capable of asynchronous I/O. These design choices aim to optimize throughput and scalability in Web applications with many input/output operations, as well as for real-time Web applications (e.g., real-time communication programs and browser games).[5] The Node.js distributed development project,
Building user interfaces on the web is hard, because the web and, thus, CSS were inherently made for documents. Some smart developers invented methodologies and conventions such as BEM, ITCSS, SMACSS and many more, which make building user interfaces easier and more maintainable by working
Ladies and gentleman, I would like to introduce you to Know It All, a tool to help you discover what you don’t yet know about web development. A few months ago I was lucky enough to come down with a brain-nibbling virus that has made
