We have another good mix of articles for today. Edmund Kirwan talks about structural simplicity. This is important as it helps with understanding and maintenance of your codebase. Mozilla Hacks continues their series of articles on ES6, with this one about Collections. On Flowing Data, there is a cool visualization hack using Microsoft Excel to generate a heat map.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
