Working with Arrays in JavaScript is sometimes painful as there aren’t a lot of native functions/methods available to carry out common operations on arrays. For instance, an operation as simple as removing an element from an array takes a lot of amount of code. Check this.

There are always multiple ways of doing things. Programming is no different. For instance, in JavaScript, what would you do if you want to get the property of an object running some operation before returning it? Take this example.

A sometime ago I tried my hands on implementing some of the PHP’s native functions in native JavaScript. The result is quite interesting list of JavaScript functions you’ve never asked about.

Progressive Web Apps are great when you need to achieve things like offline capabilities, push notifications, background-sync and to give your website an overall app-like experience. While, the PWAs are great at implementing all of the above things and are the obvious choice, there are certain things which can be broken when you use ServiceWorker(which are the building blocks of any PWA) to make your webaite a PWA.

We all know how good is Chrome Dev Tools when it comes to the web debugging capabilities. There are number of features in the Dev Tools which are very useful but we are unaware of.

While working on an Electron app Pomolectron, I needed to handle different time intervals through setInterval() function of JavaScript. I basically needed to implement three timers in my app:

Today, We are going to build a progressive Notepad app which can very well be used in offline mode, be responsive on all available devices and which saves the content locally on device. So, the core functionality of this Notepad here is to make it work offline. To fulfill this requirement, we’ll use ServiceWorkers which I’m going to cover next.

Have you ever wanted to develop desktop apps while being a true web developer without even caring about the native architecture or the language most of the applications build for different platforms likes of Windows, macOS or Linux? Or you just wanted to get started with building desktop apps? Isn’t it great if you are able to build desktop apps using the technologies you already knows i.e. HTML, JavaScript and CSS? I was in the same urge to dive into world of desktop apps. So, I have been stuck on to GitHub’s Electron lately.
