Native apps often feature transitions between states that both look great and help communicate the type of navigation to the user. The bad news: creating tra...
This post, originally written in March of 2019, advocated against using the native dialog element. At that time, the element was only supported in Ch...
If you have little experience with ARIA, screen readers, or testing in general, understanding accessible descriptions can be trickier than understanding accessible names (already confusing for many). I have written explanations so many times for clients and in fora that I opted to put this together so I maybe never…
visualising data structures and algorithms through animation - VisuAlgo
VisuAlgo was conceptualised in 2011 by Dr Steven Halim as a tool to help his students better understand data structures and algorithms, by allowing them to learn the basics on their own and at their own pace. Together with his students from the National University of Singapore, a series of visualizations were developed and consolidated, from simple sorting algorithms to complex graph data structures. Though specifically designed for the use of NUS students taking various data structure and algorithm classes (CS1010/equivalent, CS2040/equivalent, CS3230, CS3233, and CS4234), as advocators of online learning, we hope that curious minds around the world will find these visualizations useful as well.

Ember Octane has landed along with a large number of new features, but none of these features is more exciting to me personally than autotracking. Autotracking is Ember's new reactivity system, which is what allows Ember to know when stateful values (such as @tracked properties) have changed. This was a
Tao of Node - Design, Architecture & Best Practices
One of the main benefits of JavaScript is that it runs both in the browser and the server. As an engineer you need to master a single language and your skills…
For years, a trend in our industry has been to build single-page apps, or SPAs.
With an SPA, the entire site or app lives in a single HTML file. After the initial load, everything about the app is handled with JavaScript. This is, in theory, supposed to result in web apps that feel as fast and snappy as native apps.
Today, I want to explore why that’s nonsense. Let’s dig in!
Cascade layers introduce the new at-rule of @layer. The intent is to help CSS authors be more intentional about ordering the “layers” of CSS rules as a new method of cascade management.
Reactivity, or “reactive programming”, is one of those buzz words that has been thrown around a lot in the past decade or so. It has been applied to many different contexts, and is a very broad concept, so it can be hard to try to distill down exactly what it means. But, I’m going to try 😄
