Dawn of the DevBack-end ToolsFirst up, a new SitePoint book, Performance Tools [sitepoint], a guide to using some of the more popular and powerful performance tools out there. Cypress [github/cypress-io] is a tool for testing anything that runs in the browser. DAWN [dawn] is a collection of tools to make it easier to develop AI-powered apps. Vaxix [github/ethanet] is a light, powerful Node web framework. Insomnia [insomnia] is a REST client that’ll act as a nice little HTTP toolbelt. What’s Mine is YoursBack-end ResourcesA new SitePoint book, Back-end Performance [sitepoint], full of guides to improving performance on the… well… the back-end, as the name suggests. An intro to RubyMine’s Code Insight feature [sitepoint]. How to design a scalable rate-limiting algorithm [konghq]. A showdown between image text recognition APIs [dataturks]. And a guide to using Google Analytics to track JavaScript events [sitepoint]. Keep it 105TutorialsOh, fine, another good SitePoint book we released recently: Performance Project [sitepoint] - a thorough guide to building and improving the performance of an image gallery blog. A guide to building a blockchain-based Redux clone in 105 lines of code [swizec]. How to integrate Facebook authentication into a REST API, making use of Express, Mongo and Node [codeburst]. Flash in the PanFun stuffAn intro to Hype-driven Development [blog.daftcode]. Silicon Valley’s dumbest “inventions” of 2017 [gizmodo]. I can’t believe the “helicopter” and the “teapot” were only invented this year. Finally, a site that’ll tell you how much you would’ve had if you’d bought cryptocurrency on a certain date [ifyouhadboughtcrypto]. If you have any cryptocurrency and it's growing in value, I think the best present you can give yourself is to look at the site, enter the day after you bought, and comfort yourself that you made slightly more money. That's all from me today, and for the year! By a fun calendar quirk, I'll take a break next week so you can all enjoy your holidays, but will be back in the first week of the new year for more good web stuff for you. In the meantime, I'll be scoping out other products I can "invent" next year. I was thinking the whole "sunglasses" thing could be due for "creation". Back next year! - Adam 👋 |
