⁨L20n⁩ by Mozilla
A developer-friendly JS framework that places language in the localizer's hands.

* It's a new localization framework for the Web, allows localizers to put small bits of logic into localization resources to codify the grammar of the language.

* It removes the need for developers to thoroughly understand the specifics of a natural language and provides an opportunity for localizers to create better translations.

Introducing Lodash:
Lodash makes JavaScript easier by taking the hassle out of working with arrays,
numbers, objects, strings, etc. Lodash’s modular methods are great for:

- Iterating arrays, objects, & strings
- Manipulating & testing values
- Creating composite functions

" You Don't Know JS " is an exploration of the mysterious, confusing, complex, and controversial parts of JavaScript.

If you write JavaScript for your primary job, odds are, you're pretty good at it. But honestly, how well do you really know the language? Most of us spend years writing JS and never really going beyond a surface understanding. And then we blame our WTF moments on "the bad parts".

clipboard.js
A modern approach to copy text to clipboard

Copying text to the clipboard shouldn't be hard. It shouldn't require dozens of steps to configure or hundreds of KBs to load. But most of all, it shouldn't depend on Flash or any bloated framework.

That's why clipboard.js exists.

VuetifyJS

Vuetify is a semantic component framework for Vue. It aims to provide clean, semantic and reusable components that make building your application a breeze.

Build amazing applications with the power of Vue and Material Design and a massive library of beautifully crafted components. Vuetify components feature an easy-to-remember semantic design that shifts remembering complex classes and markup, to type-as-you speak properties that have simple and clear names.

What is WebAssembly ?

* WebAssembly is an instruction format that runs on a stack based virtual machine.

* WebAssembly is statically typed, value types are limited to i32, i64, f32 and f64.

* WebAssembly can only read and write from it’s own linear memory which is an array buffer. It has no direct access to external JavaScript variables values unless they are copied into memory or passed through the call stack.

* WebAssembly can not call functions which are not explicitly forwarded to it as an import. Functions can only have value types as parameters and return value.

Semantically it’s actually more or less identical to it’s predecessor Asm.js, a statically typed subset of JavaScript. The major difference between the two, is that WebAssembly is a binary format designed to be more size and load time efficient than what the equivalent JavaScript source with Asm.js type annotations would be.

Handlebars JS provides the power necessary to let you build semantic templates effectively with no frustration. Handlebars is largely compatible with Mustache templates. In most cases it is possible to swap out Mustache with Handlebars and continue using your current templates.

Checkout the official Handlebars docs site at http://www.handlebarsjs.com and the live demo at http://tryhandlebarsjs.com/.

React is a library and Angular is a Framework.
There’s obviously a big difference between the two that most people overlooked.

When you’re using a Library, it’s just one part of your application. So obviously the learning curve is small as well, and you can blend in some other libraries you might wanna use. Framework, on the other hand is big. And you are to adhere with their standard way of doing things.

Mousetrap JS
Mousetrap is a simple library for handling keyboard shortcuts in Javascript. It is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license. It is around 2kb minified and gzipped and 4.5kb minified, has no external dependencies.

Why Mousetrap?
> There are no external dependencies, no framework is required.
> You are not limited to keydown events (You can specify keypress, keydown, or keyup or let Mousetrap choose for you).
> You can bind key events directly to special keys such as ? or * without having to specify shift+/ or shift+8 which are not consistent across all keyboards.
> It works with international keyboard layouts.
> You can bind Gmail like key sequences in addition to regular keys and key combinations.
> You can programatically trigger key events with the trigger() method.
> It works with the numeric keypad on your keyboard.
> The code is well documented/commented.

JS Promises
While synchronous code is easier to follow and debug, async is generally better for performance and flexibility. Why "hold up the show" when you can trigger numerous requests at once and then handle them when each is ready? Promises are becoming a big part of the JavaScript world, with many new APIs being implemented with the promise philosophy. Let's take a look at promises, the API, how it's used!

Promises will only become more prevalent so it's important that all front-end developers get used to them. It's also worth noting that Node.js is another platform for Promises (obviously, as Promise is a core language feature).

JavaScript : Maybe it could be compared to English, it isn’t a perfect language, it has lots of broken parts, a load of dialects of which only a subset of the language could be considered "globally understood" and many many people don’t really use it all that well. The universal language should have been well thought out and far more rational and organised, but I don’t speak Esperanto, do you? We are not going to get rid of English.

A-Frame is a web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences. Originally from Mozilla, A-Frame was developed to be an easy but powerful way to develop VR content. As an independent open source project, A-Frame has grown to be one of the largest and most welcoming VR communities.


A-Frame is based on top of HTML, making it simple to get started. But A-Frame is not just a 3D scene graph or a markup language; the core is a powerful entity-component framework that provides a declarative, extensible, and composable structure to three.js.


A-Frame supports most VR headsets such as Vive, Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, Daydream, GearVR, Cardboard, and can even be used for augmented reality. Although A-Frame supports the whole spectrum, A-Frame aims to define fully immersive interactive VR experiences that go beyond basic 360� content, making full use of positional tracking and controllers.

Following is the code to alert max number in an array. Can you think of a way to get the result without using loops ? Explore it yourself...


var numbers = [4,76,455,56,90,22];
var max = 0;
for(i=0;i<numbers.length;i++){
if(numbers[i]>max){
max = numbers[i];
}
}
