Newsletter #2

Intro

This week's content is focused on the front-end as it was my focus from last week. I hope you enjoy it as I read up for the next edition. 🤓

Front-end

  • The Future of the Front-End (with Pedro Duarte)

This 80-min live about Stitches was amazing. I know it's a bit long but it's worth watching it.

  • Listify a JavaScript Array

Kent C. Dodds wrote about different ways to turn an array into a list, using native and custom methods.

  • TypeScript Function Syntaxes

Here's another one by Kent C. Dodds. This one brings many different ways to type a function in TypeScript - which can get very tricky!

  • Scheduling Tasks - HTTP 203

A deep and interesting look into different ways of scheduling a task in JavaScript. Have you used all of them? I certainly haven't.

  • Understanding Z-Index in CSS

  • What the heck, z-index??

These two articles are somewhat similar but their presentation and examples differ so it's worth reading both to understand better some weirdness of z-index.

Games

  • Create a zombie horde game with PixiJS

Morgan Page has created a playlist on the basics of PixiJS. If you have never built a game with JavaScript before (like me), it's an awesome introduction.

Marketing

  • The marketing genius of Lil Nas X

This article isn't new but it's one of the most interesting I've read. Highly recommended even if you don't know Lil Nas X - but you probably do.

Design

  • Perfectly rounded icon library

If you're looking for beautiful and simple icons, I really recommend Akar. I've been using in a side project and enjoying it a lot.

Also, we can suggest new icons through an issue! Arturo, the creator, is usually extremely fast in adding them.

🇧🇷 Em Português

  • Como uma pequena ilha do Pacífico está lucrando com seu domínio de internet

Com o Twitch ganhando bastante fama, todo mundo se beneficia, inclusive os moradores do país dono do domínio .tv.

Obrigado ao meu amigo Pedro por recomendar este artigo. Caso tenham sugestões, façam o mesmo e entrem em contato!
