Streaming HTML – Asynchronous DOM Updates without JavaScript
Web applications provide the best user experience when pages load quickly and display additional data as it becomes available. Developers typically use JavaScript to load data asynchronously, but this adds complexity when compared to server-side rendering. We review a technique that uses the Shadow DOM with HTTP streaming to load pages quickly and display data asynchronously without JavaScript.

You Don’t Need a CSS Framework
Developers use CSS frameworks to reduce boilerplate, increase quality, and drive consistency. However, these gains are hard to maintain as an application’s codebase matures. Developers must configure and override the framework to accommodate changes. Instead of using a CSS framework, developers should write their own custom CSS. CSS has evolved enough that this became the best option.

Spring Boot 3.2 and Spring Framework 6.1 Add Java 21, Virtual Threads, and CRaC
Spring Framework 6.1 and Spring Boot 3.2 run on Java 21. They make concurrent programming simpler and more efficient with virtual threads, as well as improving reactive programming and Kotlin coroutines. For “Scale to Zero” startup time reduction, the OpenJDK project CRaC received initial support, while the existing GraalVM Native Image integration got faster through a GraalVM release.

How to Sustain Quality and Velocity in a JavaScript or TypeScript Project?
The JavaScript language and its ever-changing ecosystem of packages and practices can make codebases quickly become hard to maintain. The resulting loss of development velocity and/or code quality can be prevented without rewriting everything from scratch, nor pausing the development of new features. In this article, we have analyzed a few best practices to help avoid that.
