If you are interested in Web Components and thinking or you are already neck deep in creating them, you should read about "10 Things You Are Doing Wrong in your Web Components" by "arei".
We can recommend one more great article regarding Web Components "Prototyping with Web Components: Build an RSS Reader" by Doron Tsur.
Since expanding knowledge about JavaScript is always a must in our line of work, we can also recommend to check out "12 tips for writing clean and scalable JavaScript" by Lukas Gisder-Dubé and "How to run async JavaScript functions in sequence or parallel" by James Sinclair.
Finally, we have something for TypeScript fans and everyone that wants to learn or expand knowledge about TypeScript. "Understanding Generics in TypeScript" by Nwose Lotanna.

10 Things You Are Doing Wrong in your Web Components
There are lots of articles detailing how to build a basic Web Component, but almost no article details how to solve some of the gotchas once you start down that road. That's what this article serves to do; point out some of the things every Web Component developer is overlooking and to which they should probably be giving more consideration.

How Popular is JavaScript in 2019?
When people ask me what language they should learn, I tell them to start with JavaScript. Why? JavaScript is the standard programming language of the web, and the software you write with JavaScript will be usable by everybody. Software ate the world, the web ate software, and JavaScript ate the web.

12 tips for writing clean and scalable JavaScript
Of course, you can group multiple functions into one module (and/or class, if you wish) if these functions are used in a similar way or do similar things. For example, if you have many different calculations to do, split them up into isolated steps (functions) that you can chain.

How to run async JavaScript functions in sequence or parallel
The async and await keywords are a great addition to Javascript. They make it easier to read (and write) code that runs asynchronously. But they can still be confusing. Asynchronous programming is hard. Anyone who tells you differently is either lying or selling something.

Using Array reduce
Every developer who specializes in any programming language will tell you there's a powerful tool the language provides that they rarely use and wish they knew more about. For me, it's Array.prototype.reduce. I quite enjoy the other Array methods like map, filter, and find, but reduce is one that I knew was powerful but never ...

Modeling Schema.org Schema with TypeScript: The Power and Limitations of the TypeScript Type System
Recently, I published schema-dts ( npm, GitHub), an open source library that models JSON-LD Schema.org in TypeScript. A big reason I wanted to do this project is because I knew some of TypeScript's features, such as discriminated type unions, powerful type inference, nullability checking, and type intersections, present an opportunity to both model what Schema.org-conformant JSON-LD looks like, while also providing ergonomic completions to the developer.

Node.js TypeScript #13. Sending data between Worker Threads
The Worker Threads give us quite exciting features when compared to, for example, child processes. In this article, we create our instances of the MessageChannel to communicate with the Worker Threads. Aside from that, we also share the data between them: it's something that is not possible with child processes.

About those Side-effects in Observables, an Angular Use Case
When testing a codebase in Angular Ivy, I ran into a bunch of test failures I wasn't seeing before. ExpressionChangedAfterItHasBeenCheckedErrors were being thrown around. In debugging these failures, I found that many of them are the results of side-effects in Observables and Observable pipe operations.

Performing A SublimeText-Inspired Fuzzy Search For String Matching In Angular 7.2.15
At InVision, my team is considering working on a new search feature. And, when it comes to "search", one of the most delightful user experiences that I've come across is the "fuzzy search" performed by SublimeText's "Goto Anywhere" command. The "Goto Anywhere" anywhere command takes your search query and gracefully matches it across non-sibling substrings in your file system.

Recursive React Components
Often times, particularly when dealing with complex nested data, React developers need to re-think the way they're structuring their component trees. In certain cases, when the data requires it, component trees can't be rendered in an iterative fashion, instead React developers must rely on recursion to display their data.

Starting with React 16 and Three.js in 5 minutes
Probably we want to use it together with React. The common pattern of starting anything with React is to type "react + anything" into a Google to find some wrappers. But that's not the case with Three.js. Let's find out why.

Increase your App's performance with React hooks and the React Dev Tools
All graphs above clearly indicate what component is causing the problem: Histogram. Especially rendering the second histogram (the right one) is taking up a lot of time (402.8ms!) and I'm not even dragging that one. We have detected the problem! Now it is time to fix it and optimise the components performance.

React: Components & Props
Components in React are independent, reusable pieces of UI. A typical web page may consist of a navbar, content area & footer. In React, we create these areas as components (which in turn may consist of other components!). It saves on code duplication & as we'll see, allows for an immense amount of flexibility.

Discovering patterns with React hooks
Discovering new patterns is relatively rare when working with established technologies, but every now and then a new idea comes up that stirs things up within some ecosystem. Enter React hooks. Hooks enable a drastically different way to build stateful components in React, which means that they also invalidate a lot of the established patterns.

GraphQL is a query language for Your API, and a server-side runtime for executing your queries. It is not tied to any specific database engine it is up to you to resolve the query. To create a GraphQL service you define types and their fields, then provide functions for each field on each type.

Selection Sort Algorithm in JavaScript
Let's come up with it together now. Based on what we described for how the algorithm works, we know that the smallest remaining element will always be found and sorted first. So after one iteration, the smallest element will be at the 0 index, after two iterations, the two smallest elements will be sorted, and so on and so forth.
