What follows is part one in a series of articles in which I build a blog using both VueJS and Svelte. To be clear, I’m actually going to be building two blogs simultaneously — one for each framework. In the first part of this article, I’ll discuss the tools…
If you like fast JavaScript apps, you’ll love Svelte. It works a bit differently than some of the other frameworks that you may be familiar with. Instead of shipping a large runtime, Svelte is compiled. This means the code you end up with is optimized and dramatically reduced in…
One of the reasons I love writing about JavaScript frameworks is that they are incredibly impressive pieces of engineering. That, and the fact that they have made my life as a frontend developer much, much better. That said, there is always room for improvement…
Welcome to the first edition of a new feature here on JavaScript Report. Each month we’ll go over the important things you need to know about what’s happening with front end JavaScript frameworks. We’ll be covering usage, performance, conferences, trainings and more.…

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Tom Dale, a member of the Ember.js core team who has been with the project since the very beginning. In our talk, we discuss how he got started as a programmer, a bit of JavaScript history…

Over the past week or so there have been some conferences and workshops announced that look outstanding. They are mostly focused on the front end, but the last one on this list will have a lot of great sessions on Node.js and other back end topics…
