HTML is the bones CSS is the skin and JavaScript is the muscles

One less dependency is the best dependency.

Seriously though, what issues are you running into? Web debugging is a beast, but we have tons of tools to accomplish what we need.

No need to debug if you never make any mistakes!

I learned the most when I built my first portfolio website. The website had CRUD functionality, had a contact form, and then I built a calculator for the site and let users export the results as a PDF. I stumbled through all of it, but I’m a significantly better developer for it.

Best advice I can give is pick up a couple of books. Eloquent JavaScript and JavaScript: The Definitive Guide are two that I recommend that helped me get past just understanding the syntax and actually understanding the language. Then it’s just a matter of writing a lot of code.

I’m more of an is-string guy myself.

I’m doing both and I agree pick one

Low barrier to entry, the blind leading the blind, and a whole lot of misinformation makes the ecosystem hard to love. JavaScript is my favorite language, but it’s not hard to understand why developers coming from other languages might feel this way.

If I had to guess this has something to do with how JavaScript handles prototypal inheritance. JavaScript provides a lot of freedom to do things the worst way, and a good chunk of developers never learn how to do things the right way.

Sure, and this is a cracker.

It’s actually Ecmascript, we just think that name is stinky and call it JavaScript instead.

My point, learning to code has made me better at math.

Being able to visualize abstract math equations in code allows me to gain a better understanding of what’s actually going on. For example, I can use the Math.sin() function to visualize a wave form, then modify its variables to understand how they each change the wave.

The CSS is a programming language was unexpected! Let’s go! For fun, here’s a functional pure CSS calculator! codepen.io/vrugtehagel/...

Did you know CSS is on the path to support Functions and Mixins? Forget debating whether HTML is a programming language, it’s time to tackle the growing beast that is CSS. github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

Lots of ways to accomplish this! Codepen sometimes provides better inspiration than StackOverflow. codepen.io/hqdrone/pen/...

Prediction: Whether HTML is a markup language or a programming language will once again be the center of debate for web developers across the web in 2025.

Why would I test when I never make mistakes?

Hey there, the best way to accomplish this is by using a browser source and linking it to an overlay on the streamlabs website. It’s not the exact solution you’re looking for, but it avoids the need to work with JavaScript or you don’t need a desktop app.

Oh just because I live here doesn’t mean I want to. :(

I would argue that your Google analytics skills probably went a little further than my RuneScape skills haha.

Anytime, good luck! GSAP is so much fun once you get it down.

A simple micro-library for defining and dispatching keyboard shortcuts. It has no dependencies.. Latest version: 3.13.9, last published: a month ago. Start using hotkeys-js in your project by running ...

Hotkeys is the most popular package out there for handling this. I’d start there. If you don’t want to use the package, check out their github to see how they’re implementing it. www.npmjs.com/package/hotk...

You’re going to find this implementation isn’t possible without JavaScript. If you do, I’d love to hear about it.

100

It has even more drawbacks unfortunately :( Depending on the browser and element, using the access key simply sets focus to the element that has the accesskey (the user must then press Enter to activate it), otherwise it will immediately activate it. Great idea, poor implementation.

JavaScript and all abstractions of it are where I live!

In JavaScript arrays are objects! For example an array myArray = [“dog”, “cat”, “mouse”] is turned into: myArray = { 0 : “dog”, 1 : “cat”, 2: “mouse” } When you access an array with myArray[0] you’re actually accessing the key 0, which returns the value “dog”.

Not only is it more performant but we also get bounds checking with the at() method! Very easy way to make your code less error prone and cleaner with a simple switch from length-1.

This is sweet! Even with indentation I am constantly getting lost in the messes I’ve made.

Books are awesome and never go out of style! Do you have him programming in the terminal? That’s a brutal start!

Rather than an image, maybe pressure should be put on browsers to indicate websites that have passed these checks. Similar to how we check for certificate issues.
