It's August, normally the busiest time of year for tourism. Since most can't travel, let's get busy doing other things! How about learning about making copies of arrays? Sergey Stadnik shows us how in "How to make a copy of an array in JavaScript."
In a few other "How To's" Olusola Samuel talks about Prop Drilling in "How To Avoid Prop Drilling in React Using Component Composition", Louise Findlay goes with full stack in "How to Develop and Deploy Your First Full-Stack Web App Using A Static Site and Node.js", Hermes Builds Tokens in "How to Build a Token Server for Agora Applications using NodeJS" and finally, Rumesh Eranga Hapuarachchi takes us step-by-step through "How to Develop Microfrontends Using React: Step by Step Guide" on Bits and Pieces.

Basing on the recent trends, TypeScript NPM download stats, and the general "buzz" around it, I'd say a great many people agree with my opinion.

Using ES Modules with Dynamic Imports to Implement Micro Frontends
Technologies always follow two main principles: An iterative evolution to leverage what was invented beforehand to come up with something better, and a reinvention of old concepts using the iterative advancements. An example of this is cloud computing. The old concept is time-sharing of larger, shared resources among dedicated subscriptions.

Under the hood webpack: core library behind the event-driven architecture
Webpack architecture is heavily based on events. Each webpack plugin is basically a set of listeners hooked on different events during compilation phases. Under the hood, webpack uses a library called tapable to encapsulate "publish-subscribe" implementation. Tapable provides different "hooks" classes ( SyncBailHook, AsyncParallelHook, etc.) to "hook" on events with some extra rich functionality (e.g.
