Building Your First Angular App

To avoid confusion, Angular 1 and all its releases are combined in a short name AngularJS, and Angular 2 and all subsequent versions are usually referred to simply as Angular. As a matter of fact, Angular 6 is already released. There’s a great demand for Angular 4 developers as well as for those who use other releases, so, you don’t have to instantly migrate to a newer release just to keep up with the market.

JavaScript's Tilde: Its Real Use Is No Mystery

A while back I wrote an article titled “The Great Mystery of the Tilde” where I tried to explain what the ~ (tilde) operator did in JavaScript. When trying to demystify what it was, I ended up perpetuating a lot of misinformation. I’m here to fix that today.

It hasn’t reached the levels of Angular or React yet, but in the year that the current VueJS repo has existed on Github, it has garnered approximately 2,700 watchers (more than Angular), 47,000 stars (more than twice as many as Angular and more than 3/4 of React’s).

Getting Back Into JavaScript Writing

I’m back! Did you miss me? I missed you guys. Sadly, though I’ve gotten back into writing about JavaScript, I haven’t been doing it on this blog. But I have written three posts for other blogs and they’ve all gone live this month. I’ve also got an announcement to make at the end.

Get Started With JavaScript Arrays

Practically all programming languages have an in-built array data type. JavaScript is no different. They store the data you need to run scripts for an application, which, from a developer’s perspective, means you’ll be writing less code, making you more productive. That’s why it’s worth knowing your way around them.
