It was a slower news day, so today we will focus on some trends. First, there has been a lot of discussion about the JavaScript ecosystem and the proliferation of libraries. At shruubi, they talk about JavaScript fatigue, or more importantly, the exhausting rate of change of the “best practices” for various libraries. On The Code Experience, they talk about this concept but focusing on React. Yes, even React, which is fairly new, has seen rapid change in its accepted best practices. With the focus on JavaScript, we continue the trend with an article on debugging Node.js in Chrome DevTools, written by Matt DesLauriers.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
