JavaScript for Everyone
A high quality, expansive written course that will elevate your JavaScript skills to a level you never thought was achievable.

At last, today is the day. I am immensely proud to announce that JavaScript for Everyone is here.
Tell a friend, tell a Slack channel — write it on a slip of paper, fold it once, and slide it across your boss' desk without breaking eye contact. _It's time to get weird._

A really common user interface pattern is a big clickable area, such as a card. Sometimes you need controls within that card that are also clickable. There's lots of ways to do it wrong, but fret not, @ericwbailey.website is here to show you how to do it right.

A team of scientists with ten uninterrupted years couldn’t come up with something more viscerally satisfying than slowly walking past a Cybertruck stuck in traffic while doing a full-eye-contact jerk-off motion at the waxy old driver, who looks more like a thumb hit with a hammer by the second.

Gonna be real thrilled when I no longer have to import moment or luxon just to deal with time in JavaScript.
Time and credit card info, two things I really want to leave to somebody else.

Around the thirty- or fourtieth time I heard a podcast ad for a “digitial photo frame” over the holidays, I decided to rig up a cheapo display to a Raspberry Pi that mounts a directory on my NAS and cycles through any images it finds in there. “Shitpost robot” is a working title.

Friendly reminder to use aria-label as a last resort. Use a visual label if you can! And if you need to use an aria-label to add supplementary text to already visual text, make sure the full visual text is included in the aria-label, at the start of the string.
