The great thing about this course is that it also aligns with the Basic JavaScript Challenges on the beta freeCodeCamp curriculum. You can practice what you're learning through the videos using the…
I’m an ancient web developer who is learning modern JavaScript. I’ve just gotten started and I’m having a ball, but I’ve also got whiplash. There are a few things I wish I’d understood and accepted about the world of modern JavaScript before I got started. Here are some of the changes I had to make to my own mindset and expectations around learning a new ecosystem based on an old language which has taken over my craft.
In case you missed it, Node now supports async/await out of the box since version 7.6. If you haven’t tried it yet, here are a bunch of reasons with examples why you should adopt it immediately and…
Douglas Crockford is known as The JavaScript Guy. He’s famous not only for his O’Reilly book JavaScript: The Good Parts but even more so as the visionary beh...
A double pack: - Jasper talks about Getting things done in Haskell (adapted from his 2017 Haskell eXchange talk ) - Simon and Jasper talk about organizing th...
Determining what this is is actually rather simple. The overarching rule is that this is determined at the time a function is invoked by inspecting where it’s called, its call site. It follows these…
One simple reason. JavaScript has two visually similar, yet very different, ways of testing equality. This is your high level overview of the differences.
The Python logging module comes with the standard library and provides basic logging features. By setting it up correctly, a log message can bring a lot of useful information about when and where the log is fired as well as the log context such as the running process/thread.
Learn about Python Modules, Standard Library Modules, How Python Search for a Module, Creating, Importing, Installing and Reloading Modules, Using Aliases
This lesson shows what can be learned next as a continuation of this course, and gives a recap on the core concepts: main for pure logic, drivers for side effects, run() to connect main and drivers, sources for read effects, sinks for write effects, and nesting Cycle.js apps to work as components.
In the last couple of years there has been an explosion in JavaScript frameworks. How is a developer or business to make a wise choice? What are the advantages, trade-offs and differences? In this talk we’ll compare and contrast six popular front-end frameworks: Angular 1, Angular 2, Polymer, React, Ember and Aurelia.
React is incredible because it allows you to build your UI using a declarative API. You tell React what you want the interface to look like, and it handles the rest. As users interact with the…
Tim Griesser As JavaScript applications increase in complexity, consistent patterns for managing state becomes considerably more important, and difficult to ...
This is the second part of our full-stack tutorial series that will walk you step by step through building an instant messaging app with React and GraphQL. Last week, in the first part of this…
We will be building a user authentication in a single page application with Node, React, Redux and Koa combined with Passport. We will implement local authentication, where users can log in using an email and passport, and authentication with Facebook, which can be used with other social networks and OAuth providers.
When React came out I was really amazed with his easiness of use and learning curve. At starting point of learning React I did not know that React is just a library and not fully fledged framework. I…
The following is inspired by the article “It’s the future” from Circle CI. You can read the original here. This piece is just an opinion, and like any JavaScript framework, it shouldn’t be taken too…
Vue is a very popular JavaScript front-end framework, one that’s experiencing a huge amount of growth. It is simple, tiny (~24KB), and very performant. It feels different from all the other…
I have recently started playing around with PureScript. In this post I want to document some of the learnings I had when writing a first tiny app with PureScript and Pux. As I walk through the code of the app I'll cover the basics of Pux. I will not attempt to provide a full tutorial here, nor will I cover the very basics of PureScript. But I will provide some pointers to useful resources where I found some.
SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2), of which SHA-256 is a part, is one of the most popular hashing algorithms out there. In this article, we are going to break down each step of the algorithm as simple as we can and work through a real-life example by hand.
[I]nstead of focusing on one or two concepts, I'll try to go through as many Rust snippets as I can, and explain what the keywords and symbols they contain mean.
Aimed to help students starting university this year to prepare for and settle into their studies, the Jumpstart University hub has been developed by The Open University in collaboration with the Russell Group.
