This mini book is packed with useful information about the JavaScript and the web platform. I bought it initially as a way of supporting Giammarchi’s open source projects but I found it a pretty good read in its own right, densely packed with stuff you may or may not know about the browser environment.

Great stuff.

I’m finally taking Ramin Honary’s advice and looking into the Elm programming language.

Elm is a pure typed functional language which is focused on web development and cross-compiles to JavaScript. I’d been hearing the name mentioned in many contexts so I thought I’d better start finding out about it.

The Redux state management framework for example which is used with React and is now gaining popularity among Angular2 developers took its inspiration from Elm.
