JSK Weekly - September 23, 2020

We've noticed that while some are surprised we're almost in month ten of 2020, others seem to feel it's been one of the longest years yet. And then there's those who felt the Mesozoic Era was shorter than the wait for Vue 3 to be released. Well it's finally here. Dwayne Charrington features Evan You's video in "Vue 3 is Finally Released".

Some other top stories this week, Mahdhi Rezvi's "Mastering JavaScript ES6 Symbols", Chidume Nnamdi's "Understanding Memory Leaks in Nodejs" and Nathan Sebhastian's "Web Component: Why You Should Stick to React", all on Bits and Pieces.

Understanding Data Structures in JavaScript (Linked Lists)

Understanding Linked Lists can be a difficult task when you are a beginner JavaScript developer since JavaScript does not provide built-in Linked List support.

Everything about null in JavaScript

Posted September 22, 2020 JavaScript has 2 kinds of types: primitives (strings, booleans, numbers, symbols) and objects. Objects are complex data structures. The simplest object in JavaScript is the plain object - a collection of keys and associated values: But there are situations when an object cannot be created.

Array Manipulation 2

Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each of the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in your array. For example, the length of your array of zeros n = 10.

TypeScript

An important TypeScript feature you might not be using yet

TypeScript extends JavaScript with types, enabling you to catch errors before they occur. Setting types on primitives and on simple objects is usually straight-forward, but it might become tricky when you need small variations of more complex structures. You might need a readonly version, a version with only some properties, a version where all properties are nullable.

Web Component: Why You Should Stick to React

There's an interesting discussion on the Internet about how Web Components will replace modern front-end libraries, and that popular tools like React and Vue will slowly become obsolete like MooTools and jQuery.

Modern backend is a JavaScript function | Swizec Teller

Many engineers think server-side code is the scary domain of True Engineers. Something newbies, juniors, and frontend engineers shouldn't touch. They're wrong. Modern backend is a joy. ❤️ Backend code scares people because it sounds complex. And serious, and critical, and a bit boring.
