JSK Weekly - October 24, 2018

Software design patterns is a topic that's been out there for quite some time now. If you are serious about software development you should definitely invest time to master as many patterns as possible. This week Sukhjinder Arora will help you "Understanding Design Patterns in JavaScript" so don't miss it.

Serverless deployment is relatively new "buzzword". If you are interested but haven't got a chance to read more about it we recommend Stephen Afam-Osemene's article "How to build a telegram bot using Node.js and Now".

Finally, for React developers we recommend "Understanding React v16.4+ New Component Lifecycle Methods" by Mahesh Haldar. We are sure that you'll enjoy it.
