The ECMAScript Language specification (aka. the JavaScript specification, or ECMA-262) is a great resource for learning the intricacies of how JavaScript works. However, it is a huge text that can be confusing and intimidating at first. This document aims to make it easier to get started with reading the best JavaScript language reference available.

Quasar is an open-source Vue.js based framework, which allows you as a web developer to quickly create responsive websites/apps in many flavours:

- SPAs (Single Page App)
- SSR (Server-side Rendered App) (+ optional PWA client takeover)
- PWAs (Progressive Web App)
- BEX (Browser Extension)
- Mobile Apps (Android, iOS, …) through Cordova or Capacitor
- Multi-platform Desktop Apps (using Electron)

Quasar’s motto is: write code once and simultaneously deploy it as a website, a Mobile App and/or an Electron App. Yes, one codebase for all of them, helping you develop an app in record time by using a state-of-the-art CLI and backed by best-practice, blazing fast Quasar web components.

When using Quasar, you won’t need additional heavy libraries like Hammer.js, Moment.js or Bootstrap. It’s got those needs covered internally, and all with a small footprint!

What is your favorite thing in JavaScript?

Computers are becoming more powerful, thanks to GPUs and multi-core CPUs. Equally, applications are getting more complex as they leverage threads (independent execution units in a process) for maximum application performance and responsiveness.

In this article, we will explain what multithreading is, and how Node.js handles asynchronous operations using the event loop and worker pools. We'll also discuss how to use the Node.js worker-threads module to create and manage threads.

Let's get started!

and tell how difficult is this ?

Did you use Memoization in JavaScript ?

In a nutshell, Memoization is a programming technique which allows you to reduce the function’s time cost for space cost. That is, the functions which are memoized gain speed for a higher use of memory space.
