Basic concepts of CSS grid layout

What is a grid?

A grid is a set of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines defining columns and rows. Elements can be placed onto the grid within these column and row lines. CSS grid layout has the following features:

Fixed and flexible track sizes

You can create a grid with fixed track sizes – using pixels for example. This sets the grid to the specified pixel which fits to the layout you desire. You can also create a grid using flexible sizes with percentages or with the fr unit designed for this purpose.

How ArrowJS compares to React and Vue.js – LogRocket Blog

What is ArrowJS?

ArrowJS is an experimental tool for building reactive user interfaces using pure JavaScript. It uses modern JavaScript features, such as template literals, modules, and proxies, to implement its templating structure, observable data, and declarative/reactive DOM rendering capabilities.

The creator of ArrowJS believes it’s not necessary to have a complex framework to create impressive and performant user interfaces on the web because JavaScript has evolved to be powerful enough to handle these tasks natively.

As a result, ArrowJS has no dependencies, no Virtual DOM, no build tool, and no special templating language. It is also very lightweight, weighing less than 3kB (min+Gzip). This makes it ultra-fast compared to frameworks like React and Vue, which have comparable features.

.NET 8 – The minimal API AOT compilation template

One of the big focuses of .NET 8 is Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation. In this post, I look at the new “AOT-ready” template shipping in the .NET 8 SDK preview releases, point out some of the interesting features, and demonstrate one of the main benefits of AOT – faster startup times.

Chrome for Testing: reliable downloads for browser automation – Chrome Developers

The infrastructure around Chrome for Testing unlocks interesting opportunities beyond Chrome itself. For example, the difficulties we previously mentioned around finding a matching Chrome and ChromeDriver binary can be completely eliminated by integrating the ChromeDriver release process into the Chrome for Testing infrastructure. In addition to solving this user-facing pain point, this also aligns ChromeDriver releases with Chrome’s, and eliminates the manual ChromeDriver release process.

TDD vs BDD vs ATDD : Key Differences | BrowserStack

This guidepost aims to describe different testing methods or practices like Behavioral Driven Development (BDD), Test-Driven Development (TDD), and Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD). It will also help clarify the key differences between these techniques. By the end of this article, one is expected to understand how each method works, its key differences, and its particular roles in the development process. First, let’s start with the difference between TDD and BDD and then move on to ATDD. www.browserstack.com/guide/tdd-vs-bdd-vs-atdd

Angular Signals Study Guide – by Gergely Szerovay

A new primitive type called “Signal” has been introduced in Angular v16. It’s designed to store a value similar to a regular variable. When the Signal’s value changes, it notifies the interested consumers. Signals store both primitive data types and objects.

Feature toggle management in .NET Core

There are several techniques for implementing feature toggles, such as storing configurations in a file or database, or using an external service with a GUI for management. In this article, we will focus on Microsoft’s official open-source package called Microsoft.FeatureManagement(along with its companion package Microsoft.FeatureManagement.AspNetCoredesigned for use with ASP.NET) for managing features.
