Web Weekly #17
Accessibility
It has become more important for developers to think about accessibility when building a website. Often when I go to a website I try to see if the developer had accessibility in mind when creating the site. Although it is great that developers think more about accessibility many thinks it is just about getting the focus right on buttons and links. Accessibility is more then that. What is better then asking people with disabilities to see what they find most frustrating on the web today?
Contributing to Node.js
Have you been thinking about contributing to Node.js but don’t know where to start? This great article gives a few tips on how you can start contributing and slowly get familiar with the project. Every single contribution to an open source project is appreciated even if it is a small typo.
NPX
This is really cool new features from the NPM team. I highly recommend reading this article to learn more about NPX and all neat features it has. The NPM team are doing really great things at the moment. I’m very impressed! Last week I talked about browser diversity and how that helps pushing the web forward. Maybe we see something similar between Yarn and NPM right now?
Grid Layout
In March, 2017, Firefox, Chrome and Safari released a new version of their browsers with Grid Layout support. It’s a spec that has been worked on for years and a wide support like this in such a short time is very rare. So the browser support is good but is it safe to use it today in a website? Rachel Andrew has all the answers for you!
Currying
Currying is a term named after Haskell B. Curry and has been around for about 40 years. It is a more advanced topic but it becomes more and more important to have some knowledge about it. Especially today when functional programming is becoming increasingly more common. Take your time and go through the examples and really try to understand how it works.
