thelastweekin.dev
Greetings, newsletter readers! It's another exciting week in the world of tech, and we've got a handful of links to share with you that are sure to pique your interest. So whether you're a seasoned programmer or just dipping your toes into the world of coding, sit back and enjoy the ride!
First up, we've got an intriguing project called Jammer that's all about creating custom, domain-specific editors for non-technical users. With Jammer, you can bypass the need for complex code and instead create simple, user-friendly interfaces that make it easy for people to interact with your content. Check it out, and let us know what you think!
Next, we've got a story that has been making waves in the journalism world. In case you missed it, Missouri Governor Mike Parson recently threatened to criminally prosecute a reporter who found a flaw in the state's website. It's a chilling reminder of the importance of a free press and the vital role that journalists play in holding those in power accountable.
Moving on to code, we've got some exciting resources to share with you. First up, check out this JavaScript Framework TodoMVC Size Comparison, which breaks down the size and performance of some of the most popular frameworks out there. It's a great resource if you're trying to decide which framework to use for your next project.
For those of you just starting out on your coding journey, don't worry - we've got you covered too. Check out this Webpack 5 : Guide for beginners for a step-by-step breakdown of how to use Webpack, one of the most popular build tools out there.
Last but not least, we've got a Javascript Fetch: Get/Post/Put/Delete example that covers the basics of working with the Fetch API to make HTTP requests. It's a must-read if you're building a web app that needs to talk to a backend API.
That's all for this week, folks. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll see you again soon!
