With some basic HTML/CSS and JavaScript, we’re going to learn how to do it ourselves. In this article, Ben Frain is going to share the details of his ‘go-to’ method in detail in this article. Let’s consider possible approaches first. Read more…

Writing Asynchronous Tasks In Modern JavaScript

As the language evolved, new artifacts appeared in the scene to allow asynchronous execution; developers tried different approaches while solving more complicated algorithms and data flows. In this article, Jeremias Menichelli is going to explore the evolution of JavaScript around asynchronous execution in the past era and how it changed the way we write and read code. He will start with the beginnings of web development, and go all the way to modern asynchronous pattern examples. Read more…

Create A Bookmarking Application With FaunaDB, Netlify And 11ty

At the heart of the JAMstack are static site generators that store your data as flat files. Sometimes, managing data this way can be overly complicated. Sometimes, we still need a database. With that in mind, Netlify — a serverless cloud database — collaborated to make combining both systems easier.  In this article, Bryan Robinson will create a personal bookmarking site using FaunaDB, Netlify Functions and 11ty data files.

Frankenstein Migration: Framework-Agnostic Approach (Part 2)

Denys Mishunov recently discussed what “Frankenstein Migration” is, compared it to conventional types of migrations, and mentioned two main building blocks: microservices and Web Components. He also showed you a theoretical basis of how this type of migration works. If you didn’t read or forgot that discussion, you might want to get back to Part 1 first because it helps to understand everything we’ll cover in this second part of the article. Read more…

Frankenstein Migration: Framework-Agnostic Approach (Part 1)

What if you spend the unproportionate amount of time to support an outdated system?

The typical answer to such a problem is the migration of the application. However, all of the front-end frameworks are different. In this article, Denys Mishunov will show you “Frankenstein Migration” which is a new, framework-agnostic approach to the process of migration that allows using the same mechanism to migrate to pretty much any framework of your choice.
