This week we recommend "Diving Deeper in JavaScripts Objects" with Arfat Salman. This great article will help clarify some aspects of JavaScript that are very often not clear enough.
"Understanding Callbacks and Promises" is a must for modern JavaScipt development, especially server-side. This week Fernando Hernandez is helping us to understand these core concepts from a different perspective.
People that love TypeScript will definitely enjoy learning about "When to use `never` and `unknown` in TypeScript" by Jesse Hallett.
As usual, we have plenty of great React articles. Our top pick for this week is "Understanding Render Props in React" by Chidume Nnamdi.

An Overview of the Most Exciting Proposals for the Web Platform Related to Web Components
As much as I like frameworks, I'm also a big fan of the native web platform, especially web components. I look forward to the times when the implementation will be powerful enough to solve the common problems in web development. And we're getting closer.

Diving Deeper in JavaScripts Objects
JavaScript objects pack more things than their terse and concise syntax would naturally exhibit. Creating and using objects in JavaScript is so easy, effortless, and so flexible that a lot of developers never realize that there is more to it. We are going to uncover some of the hidden layers and understand the intricacies of JavaScript objects.

Understanding Callbacks and Promises
These two concepts are basic things of the Javascript programming language. Because this language works under the paradigm of asynchronous programming. So, I decided to share this article to give a sense to what callback and promises are. Two characteristics to carry out asynchronous operations.

Map, Filter, Reduce, forEach -The Four Horsemen of Modern JavaScript
In the ancient times, there was this messiah called for loop . Just like every other programming languages, JavaScript too had it's own for loop function. The loop's job was to iterate over data. As you know the internet is all about a series of data.

The JavaScript Prototypal Inheritance Pattern
JavaScript does not contain classes and but it's an still strongly object oriented language. The object-to-object relation in JavaScript is implemented with the prototype and the resulting prototypal pattern is very unique to JavaScript. Before the ES6 class syntax, the topic of inheritance has been mostly confusing for developers who came from other languages.

When to use `never` and `unknown` in Typescript
The never and unknown primitive types were introduced in Typescript v2.0 and v3.0 respectively. These two types represent fundamental and complementary aspects of type theory. Typescript is carefully designed according to principles of type theory, but it is also a practical language, and its features all have practical uses - including never and unknown.

Type Level Tricks in TypeScript
TypeScript has a Turing complete type system. This means there are all sorts of compile time invariants that we can enforce with the type system that we couldn't otherwise. I haven't seen some of these patterns explicitly outlined elsewhere so I'm going to outline one trick that I've discovered while trying to encode various properties with TypeScript's type system.

Pattern matching and type safety in TypeScript
I think it's fair to say that most programmers understand type safety as a feature of the programming language which eliminates the type errors. TypeScript as a statically typed superset of JavaScript addresses this issue, especially in the strict mode which is more rigorous and performs additional checks.

How to Use Drag and Drop with the Angular 7 CDK + Kendo UI
Through my travels to many different Angular conferences this past year, I've been asked about using Kendo UI alongside things like Angular Material or the CDK. With the latest updates in Angular 7, I thought this would be a wonderful time to show the Angular CDK peacefully working side-by-side with Kendo UI in an Angular app.

Hacking Scoped CSS Modules Into A Brownfield AngularJS 1.2.22 Application
Ben Nadel experiments with ways to hack scoped CSS modules into an old, brownfield AngularJS 1.2.22 application. It's obviously not as seamless as it would be in the latest Angular framework; but, given his constraints, it's a very fun (and welcome) solution!

NgRx - Best Practices for Enterprise Angular Applications
The following represents a pattern that I've developed at my day job after building several enterprise Angular applications using the NgRx library. I have found that most online tutorials do a great job of helping you to get your store up and running, but often fall short of illustrating best practices for clean separation of concerns between your store feature slices, root store, and user interface.

Build Progressive Web Apps with React - Part 1
Create-React-App's default service worker is good for caching static assets, but we want to do much more than that. For that, we need to disregard the default service worker and create one of our own. The simplest way to do that is to go to the public folder in our app's directory and create a new service worker file.

React's Experimental Suspense API Will Rock for Fallback UI During Data Fetches

What is the difference between Controllers and Services in Node REST API's?
If you've built out a REST API in Node (or other languages, for that matter), you've likely used the concept of "controllers" to help organize your application. Maybe you put your calls to your database or models there, called some other endpoints, and added some business logic to process the returns.
