The Blog Section
New article!
It's been a while since the last post. But now it's time to end the argument of single quotes vs double quotes. → One Tick To Rule Them All
The blog section is exactly what it sounds like. Find published posts in the left navigation. Entries are sorted latest to oldest.

Some random resources
Here is a list of resources that I find relevant to share. They also give some clues of what you can expect from this blog.
Composing Software by Eric Elliott
https://leanpub.com/composingsoftware
One of my favourites. It's a refreshingly modern approach to JavaScript that shows very nicely that JS pretty much already has everything it needs to write brilliant software. It also does a great job in explaining things like functors and monads.
Highly recommended to everybody involved with JavaScript.
Also available as a blog series.

Eric Elliott also tweets about it on Twitter.
JavaScript doesn't need class syntax
Class syntax was basically introduced because of familiarity bias. Which is quite a terrible reason to make something part of the standard. Remember, once it's in, it will NEVER be removed again. Don't make the language adjust to you. Get familiar with the language you choose to use. Nobody would consider introducing dynamic types to Haskell just because JavaScript developers are used to them and want to use Haskell now. Or maybe introduce JavaScript's double-equals to Java, anyone?
