Web Technologies and Syntax

JavaScript has a (newish) feature called optional chaining. Say I have code like:
const name = Data.person.name;
If person happens to not exist on Data, I’m going to get a hard, show-stopping error. With optional chaining, I can write:

ztext.js
22.9.2020
Super cool project from Bennett Feely! It makes any web type into 3D lettering with a mouseover effect that moves the 3D objects in space. It’s reminiscent of Zdog, but for type. It works its magic by stacking a bunch of copies of the glyphs on top of each other that are offset by some...

A straightforward post with some perf data from Tomas Pustelnik. It’s a good reminder that CSS is a crucial part of thinking web performance, and for a huge reason:

Weaved Webs

There is a bit of an irony with Jamstack.
The concept is simple: you put pre-rendered, static files on web hosting (a CDN) designed to do that well. That’s it. If you need to do more, anything you do from there is done with client-side JavaScript, which is likely talking to serverless...
