According to Google, the query "how to" is most often followed by either "make money fast" or "make pancakes" and something tells us those are two vastly different types of people. Luckily developers seem to be a little more consistent in their use of those two one syllable words. Like Krissanawat Kaewsanmuang talking coding techniques on TheBestDevlist in "How to use Throttle and Debounce in JavaScript" or Robin Wieruch sharing a quick excerpt from one of his daily tasks in "How to test React-Redux connected Components". Then we have Pawel Karniej getting busy with swiping motions in "How to make Tinder-like card animations with React Native" while Nwose Lotanna teaches us about functional components in "How to use stateless components in Vue.js", both on the LogRocket blog.
Another great read this week: Fernando Doglio teaches us how to answer one of the most frequently asked JavaScript interview questions in "Closures in JavaScript: Why Do We Need Them?" Giancarlo Buomprisco takes us through his thoughts about being a good teammate in "Soft Skills for Software Developers" and Chidume Nnamdi gives us a better understanding of the DI principle and how it is implemented in Angular in "SOLID: The Dependency Inversion Principle in Angular", all on the Bits and Pieces blog.

Make CRUD simple with Node, GraphQL, and React Blog
GraphQL reduces the complexity of building APIs by abstracting all requests to a single endpoint. Unlike traditional REST APIs, it is declarative; whatever is requested is returned. Of course, not all projects require GraphQL - it is merely a tool to consolidate data. It has well-defined schema, so we know for sure we won't overfetch.

Angular vs. React vs. Vue: A performance comparison Blog
In this ever-changing world of technology, some tools have come to stay, while many others have faded into obscurity over the years. However, we can all agree that the JavaScript programming language is here to stay for the long term.

Creating a full-stack MERN app using JWT authentication: Part 2 Blog
So far, we have covered the core functionality of JWT authentication in the first part of this series: " Creating a full-stack MERN app using JWT authentication: Part 1." The logic runs on the server side, and we need to have an interface that helps us to consume the logic.

Closures in JavaScript: Why Do We Need Them?
Learn how to answer one of the most frequently asked JavaScript interview questions. Closures aren't a JavaScript-only concept, although if you're part of the JavaScript/Node.js community, you might've heard the term quite a bit. In fact, it is one of the many questions that are normally asked as part of technical interviews for JavaScript developers.

Javascript data structure with map, reduce, filter, and ES6
If you are a fan of javascript and use it daily, then you will love this 😃 Javascript is a language that gives the freedom of writing code in any style, from imperative to declarative. Most programmers use imperative because either they are coming from OOPs background, maybe they love it, or they are not familiar with other styles.

How to use Throttle and Debounce in JavaScript
Throttling and debouncing are two popular and widely performed coding techniques which will help to improve the performance of JavaScript code that undergoes execution repeatedly within a certain period of time. In this tutorial, we'll learn about the JavaScript Throttle and Debounce and how to implement them in our code to boost our code's performance and write better and faster code in JavaScript.

Avoiding bugs with data structures: using Sets in JavaScript
When working on a part of a user interface I like to constantly try to think about potential bugs that could occur, potentially when looking at taking input from users. Most components that take input will have code to prevent invalid input and bugs and you can't ever avoid this, but sometimes the right data structure can remove the amount of bugs you'll have to write code to deal with.

TypeScript
The --showConfig Compiler Option in TypeScript
TypeScript 3.2 added a new --showConfig compiler flag to the tsc executable. The command tsc --showConfig calculates the effective tsconfig.json file and prints it to the console. This is useful for debugging configuration issues, particularly when used in conjunction with the extends property in a tsconfig.json file.

Angular
SOLID: The Dependency Inversion Principle in Angular
Get a better understanding of the DI principle and how it is implemented in Angular. A. HIGH-LEVEL MODULES SHOULD NOT DEPEND UPON LOW-LEVEL MODULES. BOTH SHOULD DEPEND UPON ABSTRACTIONS. B. ABSTRACTIONS SHOULD NOT DEPEND UPON DETAILS. DETAILS SHOULD DEPEND UPON ABSTRACTIONS. This principle states that classes and modules should depend on abstractions not on concretions.

How to make Tinder-like card animations with React Native Blog
Tinder has definitely changed the way people think about online dating thanks to its original swiping mechanism. Tinder was among the first "swiping apps" that heavily used a swiping motion for choosing the perfect match. Today we'll build a similar solution in React Native.

You don't need Babel with Node Blog
If you've been active as a Node.js developer, or even dabbled in front-end libraries like React or Vue.js, then there's no doubt that you've likely run across Babel. What once began as a humble side project on Reddit, which you can see here, has now grown so much that it has fundamentally transformed how we build and develop Node.js applications.

How I Automated My Job with Slack and Node
Implementing this was quite easy. The only thing that i had to take care of was the job schedule. We have different schedules such as daily, weekly and monthly.. I just had to check if the process has a weekly schedule then the difference between the creation time of the process and the current day is completely divisible by seven.

Functional Programming
Using functional programming to avoid intermediate variables and nested functions
Often when we're developing a piece of code, we need to take one starting value and apply several functions to it before we return that value. Something like: The problem with this is that it's difficult to read. Whenever you add intermediate variables ( incompleteTasks, withoutBlockedTasks, etc.), you have to track which ones are passed as arguments to the next functions.
