Kicking off this week, Michael Poirier-Ginter creates a Vue PWA, not because there is anything inherently special about Vue.js for making PWAs, but rather, to show off their tool: Nuxt in "Vue PWA: A Progressive Web Application Example With Nuxt" on Snipcart's blog.
If you're one of the developers who voted for TypeScript in the Stack Overflow 2019 developer survey, Ovie Okeh looks at some real-world code written in TypeScript that could be improved to make better use of the language’s strengths in "3 rules for writing idiomatic TypeScript" on LogRocket's Blog and Jan Odvarko shows us how to use Firefox to debug your TypeScript applications in "Debugging TypeScript in Firefox DevTools".
The Bits and Pieces blog offers up various good reads this week, from Shubham simplifing Javascript Hoisting in "Javascript Hoisting Simplified" to Mahesh Haldar's tips on how to get the most out of logging in "Logging: Best Practices for Node.JS Applications" and Chidume Nnamdi's online text editor that allows real-time collaboration in "Build a Realtime Editor Using Socket.IO."
