Interesting properties that many have never heard of before.
CSS and HTML have been the cornerstone of the internet for decades.
While HTML was responsible for creating website structures and arranging texts and graphics, it could do little when it came to designing the website.
Designing websites, ever since 1994, has been the sole purpose of CSS. It became the language that described how websites should look and feel.
Over the years, CSS has seen a number of new properties added to it such as Flexbox and Grid.
Despite the immense popularity and rising complexities of creating web apps, there are still a number of CSS properties and tricks that most developers don’t know. …
Lesser known YouTubers that provide great content
The field of web development and programming is always onto something new, be it a framework or a new language.
Leveling up your programming skills every once in a while is necessary even if you are an experienced developer.

Prepare to crack the interview of any company and land your dream job
Job interviews can be overwhelming especially if it’s your first job interview. In every interview, you have to sell yourself and your abilities.

Definite methods to up your game and advance your career
One of my many New Year resolutions this year is to grow as a developer and I know many of you also want the same.
Growing as a developer does not simply mean that you know how to implement more features than before or that you have learned a new programming language.
While those things are important, it does not guarantee that you have become a better developer.
Instead, in my opinion, skills like problem-solving, following the modern practices, knowing how to use the internet to your advantage, as well as learning skills that usually don’t directly affect development( like SEO or marketing) are factors that determine the growth of developer. …

Choose the right platform to deploy your projects economically.
As developers, we build a ton of projects to showcase our skills or try out new things.
Nonetheless, often we want these projects to be easily accessible for the world to see, however hosting these projects can be quite a challenge especially when you are on a tight budget.

Analyzing this year helped me predict some of the trends that I see happening next year and knowing this beforehand will help me prepare better for these trends.

1. Web apps will feel and perform like their native counterparts
Many of the frameworks such as Vue and React have support for building Progressive Web App(PWA) as well as converting standard apps to PWAs.

Reduce workload and write clean code using these JavaScript tips
When it comes to programming, there is no one correct way to do things. Almost everything can be done in multiple ways.
However, there are some tips and tricks you should keep in mind to speed up the process.
Below are 5 tips and tricks that you will hopefully find useful.
1. Merging Objects and Arrays
To merge objects, the standard way can lead to a lot of hassle. Thus, we would be using the spread operator introduced in the ES6 update.

lastName: "Doe",
};const job = {
role:'Developer',
level:'Senior'…
Create unique and interesting apps using these APIs
Nothing excites me more than finding an out of the ordinary API.
Many times we just want to focus on the frontend but also need interesting, dynamic data to display.
This is where public APIs come into play. API is an acronym for Application Programming Interface.
The core benefit of using it is that it allows one program to interact with other programs.
Using public APIs allows you to focus on the frontend and things that matter without worrying so much about the database and the backend.
Below are 7 less-talked about public and free APIs.
