News

If you’ve been looking for server side JS for a long time, but still couldn’t find any good materials for studying, then we recommend you to take a look at this online NodeJS handbook. This publication can be downloaded in many popular formats, and you can read it online as well. By the way, the content is periodically updated.

Check out yet another free React tutorial. By the way, the other day React has been updated to version 16.5. The changes are mostly related to optimization and bug fixes in React DOM.

Chrome 69, released last week, brought a lot of new things to developers. Its controversial design has divided users into two camps as well. If you want to return it all to the usual old school style, go to chrome://flags/ and set UI Layout for the browser’s top chrome to Normal.

New Firefox 62 will also be popular among many developers — support for shape-outside from the built-in editor Style Editor, screenshots directly from dev tools: screenshot in the console, support of variable fonts (they are already supported by almost all browsers) and many other nice new features.
