Deno is a secure JavaScript and TypeScript runtime based on the V8 JavaScript engine and Rust, created by Ryan Dahl. Is it the newest solution? And is it better than Node.js? This International JavaScript Conference session by Krzysztof Piechowicz goes over what Deno fixes in Node.js and how its core features compare.
Do you know everything your browser is capable of? New Web APIs are added all the time. There are probably plenty of impressive things, especially for mobile devices, that you are unaware of. Watch Red Hat OpenShift’s Joel Lord discuss new API demos at the International JavaScript Conference.
In Node.js, we can use WebAssembly modules and native C++ addons. If your app has performance critical parts, should you stay in JavaScript? Or write a native C++ addon? Or use WebAssembly? Let’s have a look at how these options compare performance wise and which one is best for different workloads. So the next time you need to optimize for speed, you know your options.
Electron is a framework used to build desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and is based on Node.js and Chromium. You might know it from such big names as Discord, Slack, Skype, Trello and Visual Studio Code, to namedrop just a few. Electron has now started the process to join the OpenJS Foundation, the first step of which is to become an incubator project.
Have you been following Angular’s journey? Ivy is the next-generation compilation and rendering pipeline that was introduced in Angular 8. Since then it has undergone a number of new changes and improvements. See what it brings to the table and how it will change your architectures in this International JavaScript Session from Manfred Steyer.
Plenty of software development technology has gone through a huge shift in the past few years. DevOps is the norm, the world is application-centric, and framework frenzy is in full swing. Looking towards the next decade, here are a few trends that David Cramer, CEO and co-founder of Sentry, predicts we will see in 2020.
Eclipse Dirigible started as an internal Eclipse Foundation SAP initiative for extending and adapting SOA and Enterprise Services use cases. It became an Eclipse Project in 2015, and since then has soared to new heights. It aims to provide devs a toolset for building, running, and operating end-to-end vertical apps in the cloud and offers a wide variety of features.
What is Nuxt.js? Find out how this framework can help your JavaScript programming experience. Take a video break and watch David Guijarro, a JavaScript developer at SHARE NOW, discuss the framework and how to make Vue.js apps with it. It’s fast, easy, and fun.
Web components were first proposed all the way back in 2011. Since then, they’ve been kicked around without really getting much traction until recently. With the rise of components in frameworks, a new standard that is (almost) supported by all modern browsers, and support from (almost) all major frameworks, web components are suddenly looking a lot more appealing.
Every Monday, we take a step back and look at all the cool stuff that went down during the previous week. Last week we wrote about the State of the Developer Nation report, as well as developments in the Java world and Docker Enterprise’s acquisition by Mirantis, plus much more. Let’s take a closer look.
Which programming languages have the strongest communities and the most active programmers? How many devs are implementing DevOps strategies? What frameworks are mobile programmers using? Let’s take a dip into the data and see what 17,000 developers from 155 countries revealed in SlashData’s report, Developer Economics: State of the Developer Nation 17th Edition.
Another month has passed, and that means it’s time to collect our favorite GitHub repos and explore some of the coolest, most impressive, or most interesting projects that we found. October 2019 brought us plenty of projects, including an easy way to create documentation, a low-tech operating system for the end of the world, and more.
Issues related to working with dates are as old of a problem as it gets with JavaScript. In theory it is possible to perform date calculations with JavaScript’s date object, if it weren’t for the many weaknesses of the API. Fortunately, there are helpful libraries that can save us a lot of work. One of them is date-fns.
In this International JavaScript Conference session, Phil Hawksworth demystifies this buzzwordy term, and explores how this approach to simplifying the technology stack can lead to shorter development times, with better performance and greater security. Let’s learn about the JAMstack!
