Before everyone starts easing into holiday mode, now would be a great time to take the 2019 State of Javascript survey! If you'd like to know what's new this year, check out Sacha Greif's article on freeCodeCamp, "What's New In The 2019 State of JavaScript Survey". Then have a look at Facundo Corradini's "Web layouts like it’s 2020" and Aditya Prakash's "Top JavaScript Frameworks to learn in 2020" to get ahead before the new year rings in.
Looking to simplify web development? Francis Cote shows us how Snipcart has mastered the Vue.js framework in the last few months in "How Vue Components Work (& How They Simplify Web Development)" and John Au-Yeung takes us through the ins and outs of Parallax Scrolling in "How To Add Parallax Scrolling to Your Vue.js App."
