  • Transcrypt: Anatomy of a Python to JavaScript Compiler

    On the web front end, web development is one size fits all: JavaScript. The Transcrypt Python to JavaScript compiler is a relatively new open source project, aiming at executing Python 3.6 at JavaScript speed, with comparable file sizes. In this article, Jacques de Hooge talks about the requirements in building a transpiler and how Transcrypt is built to meet those demands.

  • An Angular Wish List

    Angular is an excellent, full-featured JavaScript platform, but a stagnant framework is a dead framework. New features enhance functionality and provide new opportunities for developers to build wonderful apps. In this article, Eamon O'Tuathail makes suggestions on how to expand Angular's reach into new, exciting ways.

  • Getting Components to Communicate in Angular

    Components are the building blocks of Angular and every visual element in an Angular application is made with components. When we start breaking components apart into smaller components, we need to make sure they're able to pass data back and forth. That's when proper component communication becomes essential in our apps to keep all of our data in sync.

  • More Than React: Why You Shouldn’t Use ReactJS for Complex Interactive Front-End Projects, Part I
