According to the State of Javascript 2023 report, Express.js is still the most popular backend framework. Even though it's quite old 👴🏻, its flexibility and available customizations seem to be the killer features compared to others.

I remember the time before CSS. It was not great; CSS fixed so many things. I also remember the time before we started making a windowing operating system inside the browser with JavaScript. This I feel has just created frontend framework after frontend framework. And then we get into DX and perf discussions. I don't think we need a reset, but we need a clarification of when to use HTML+CSS for the legible parts, and then come up with better markup for the interactive parts. The easiest thing to grok is probably a #GlobalDesignSystem. And what if we retired the DIV element? It really has become the catch-all: it functions as layout, as alignment, as menus, as tooltips, as form field grouping, as scrim layers, etc.

Dear npm, must you insist on downloading half the internet? Why is it that one library, ONE, some how includes 400+ libs in the full dependency chain? How is this even possible? I feel like one of them must be a left pad or filled with pictures of lolcats. Now excuse me while I import this other library for one function I'm too lazy to write and I know works there... #npm #javascript #nodejs

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 I've been learning Node.js and just built a simple web server! 🎉 Here's how it works: 🌐 The server listens on port 3000. 🖥️ Depending on the URL you visit, it serves different pages: ➡ '/' -> Home Page (index.html) ➡ '/about '-> About Page (about.html) ➡ '/ContactUs' -> Contact Us Page (contact.html) 📄 If the URL isn't recognized, it sends a "Not Found" message. 👉 Want to execute it? Just run the server and open your browser to localhost:3000 Looking forward to building more with Node.js! #NodeJS #WebDevelopment #Coding #JavaScript #TechProjects #LearningByDoing

Every week there’s a new JS framework or tool. As developers, it’s easy to feel FOMO and think you need to master each one. But here’s the truth: fundamentals last, frameworks fade. Focus on solid JavaScript skills, understand concepts deeply, and you’ll be ready for whatever comes next. Frameworks come and go, but the core principles remain the same. Keep your foundation strong, and the rest will follow.

I've just finished the course “Learning Node.js” by Alexander Zanfir! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gXyrYYhG #nodejs. #react #javascript #expressjs

Been doing JavaScript lately to get a better grip on it. Here's what I've been into: 💡 1) Node.js: Basically JavaScript but running outside the browser. It's like the brainchild of some clever devs who figured out how to use Chrome's V8 Engine to execute JS elsewhere. It's great for stuff like building lightweight realtime apps only using JS. 2) Express.js: This framework makes creating HTTP servers with JavaScript a breeze. As someone who's used Java Spring Boot, I'm amazed at how straightforward Express is. Node.js feels lightweight and fast compared to Spring Boot, but both have their ups and downs depending on the project. 3) Zod: A gem I recently stumbled upon. It's perfect for ensuring HTTP request type safety and data validations. Saves a ton of time compared to building custom validation logic. With Zod, you just provide a schema for the request, and it takes care of the rest. 4) JWT: or JSON Web Tokens, a common method for Authentication & Authorization in web apps. During login, the server generates a JWT token signed with a secret key, sent to the client. This token, with header, payload, and signature, is used for future resource requests, avoiding constant credential sending. (Tried to explain working of JWT on the image below) Stay tuned for upcoming JS based projects 🔍 #js #javascript #mern
