Best 22 JavaScript stories in January

January brought us over 600 articles worth posting on JSK. What follows is the best of the bunch according to our Curators, Insiders and Members. JSK is easy to join. Just click the login button or get on our mailing list for our weekly newsletter.

Functional Programming continued to be of great interest along with plenty of front-end material including a brand spanking new Front-End Dev Handbook by our member, Cody Lindley. Framework articles on Angular, Ember and Aurelia were well liked but there is something in here for every JS dev.
