Resources for Web Developers in 2022

Webpack is one of the most popular tools for bundling JavaScript applications and libraries, and it's growing more popular every day. It is so loaded with features that it's sometimes difficult to know what's even possible. 

In this course, Kent C. Dodds takes you through some of the most valuable features of the Webpack JavaScript module bundler. We'll learn a ton about what it takes to optimize your Webpack configuration and your application to make it as fast as it can possibly be. We'll also go over what it takes to setup and write tests with webpack, Karma, Mocha, and Chai.

This course covers Webpack 2, but should also be relevant for Webpack 1.x.

webpack is a tool to build JavaScript modules in your application. To start using webpack from its cli or api, follow the Installation instructions. webpack simplifies your workflow by quickly constructing a dependency graph of your application and bundling them in the right order. webpack can be configured to customise optimisations to your code, to split vendor/css/js code for production, run a development server that hot-reloads your code without page refresh and many such cool features.

There are plenty of introductions to RxJS, but few resources that take you deep into the library, providing an accurate understand of what each piece performs.

In this course we will gain intermediate knowledge of RxJS, focusing on one aspect: how to create Observables. We will see how Observables compare to functions, how they compare to ES6 generators, what are the empty(), throw() and never() Observables, and other static factories that help in making Observable sequences.

Start following this course if you have a superficial understanding of RxJS, but want to gain confidence in using it.

If you're new to RxJS, we highly recommend this [Async JS course from Jafar Husain](https://egghead.io/series/mastering-asynchronous-programming-the-end-of-the-loop) to get a solid intro to the concepts. From there, you can watch this [Introduction to Reactive Programming using RxJS](https://egghead.io/series/introduction-to-reactive-programming), and you will be prepared for this course!

RxJS is a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences.

TypeScripts purpose, the reason it exists, is to add a solid type system on top of ECMAScript 6+. JavaScript is a dynamically typed language. TypeScript applies a fundamental change to the language and applies static typing to the code in our applications.

This course will dive into the type system that TypeScript provides. You will gain a deeper understanding of what types can do for your applications. 

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.

Building your web app with a fully customized design is a daunting task. If you aren't a CSS expert, applying a design style to your markup can consume hours and hours as you try to tweak pixels, align elements, and bang your head on the desk in frustration.

There are options. You can turn to a full-blown CSS framework like Bootstrap to help build your app. But, out of the box, you end up building an app that people will look at and say, "Hey there, nice Bootstrap app."

So if you want a fully custom design, you are back at step 1.

There's a middle way. An approach that gives you the freedom to apply your custom design, but in a way that greatly simplifies the CSS, providing you with core functionality without applying heavily opinionated design to your app.

This is Tailwind, a utility-first CSS framework for rapidly building custom user interfaces.

Design with Tailwind CSS is a series that teaches you how to build fully responsive, professionally designed UIs from scratch using Tailwind CSS.

Together we’ll build Workcation, a property rental app loaded with interesting details that will help you master Tailwind in no time.

Cycle.js is a framework where your app is described as a simple function taking an event stream as input and outputting an event stream. 

Cycle.js builds on functional and reactive streams and is a JavaScript framework. What does that mean? In the course, André Staltz, the creator of Cycle.js, will explain it to us.

We'll start this course with an empty project and build out our own toy version of Cycle.js to understand exactly what's going on under the hood. When we have a solid base of how Cycle.js works we will move on to use the Cycle.js API and build an app using the Model-View-Intent pattern.

***⚠️⚠️⚠️ This course uses an old version of RxJS and loads data using the jQuery library which is no longer fashionable. If you can look past that and understand that the principles André is demonstrating are timeless and useful, this course is a true gem. Otherwise, this is probably not for you! ⚠️⚠️⚠️***

*Reactive*

You've probably been hearing this word recently, and it's referring to the *Reactive Programming* paradigm. One of the biggest challenges people face when learning Reactive Programming is changing their way of thinking, and in this course, you are going to exercise your mind and learn to let go of that imperative and stateful mindset.

You will also learn how can practically apply these Reactive concepts using the RxJS library! 

If you are **brand new** to reactive programming, the course [Asynchronous Programming: The End of The Loop](https://egghead.io/series/mastering-asynchronous-programming-the-end-of-the-loop), will get you up to speed. 📚

Most examples for reduce show you how to take an array of numbers and reduce them to a simple sum. Reduce is a great tool for this, but it can do so much more. It is a powerful tool, and essential to functional programming techniques.

This course will dig deep into the Array#reduce in JavaScript and give you a solid understanding to start using it today.

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Vue is a "progressive framework for building user interfaces." Its core library is designed to be fast and flexible and is only focused on the view layer.

In this course, you'll gain a basic understanding on how to construct components and nested components and see how Vue reactively keeps the DOM up to date when data is changed. You should get a taste of what Vue has to offer and gain a better understanding of how you can use it for your own application development.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.
