Performance of applications on the web platform is becoming increasingly bottlenecked by startup (load) time. Larger amounts of JS code are transferred over the wire by more sophisticated web properties. While caching helps, these properties regularly release new code, and cold load times are very important.
This guide will take you through the basics of setting up WebRTC data, voice and video channels between two peers as well as whole rooms of users, sending files, manipulating video or sharing your screen. The goal is that once you’ve read through it you’ve gained a solid, hands-on understanding of what it takes to build WebRTC apps and enough additional knowledge to know where to go next.
ES6 provides a convenient syntax for dealing with object creation and factory functions. Most of the time, that’s all you’ll need, but because this is JavaScript, there’s another approach that makes it feel more like Java: the class keyword.
Globalizing an application requires a tremendous amount of information. Beyond language-specific messaging, applications must also account for locale-aware string sorting, formatting and parsing dates, lists, currencies, and units. Even within a single language, applications may need to cater to multiple dialects — adapting to regional variations in grammar and vocabulary. There are also technical considerations like proper Unicode and bidirectional text handling. Further, JavaScript itself has not made globalization easy.
In a world before social media, a lot of online communities existed around blog comments. The particular community I was part of – web standards – was all built up around the personal websites of those involved.

鹅厂技术专家是什么样子？硬实力+软实力。硬实力是基础能力，对操作系统、网络算法等的掌握。软实力分为三个力，思考力、学习力、沟通力。对成长的解读非常实在。
游戏服务器端，是一个会长期运行的程序，并且它还要服务于多个不定时、不定点的网络请求。所以这类软件的特点是要非常关注稳定性和性能。这类程序如果需要多个协作来提高承载能力，则还要关注部署和扩容的便利性；同时，还需要考虑如何实现某种程度的容灾需求。由于多进程协同工作，也带来了开发的复杂度，这也是需要关注的问题。
HTML5 indexedDB和Web SQL Database都是本地数据库数据存储，Web SQL Database数据库要出来的更早，然并卵。从2010年11月18日W3C宣布舍弃Web SQL database草案开始，就已经注定Web SQL Database数据库是明日黄花，未来一定是indexedDB的。
Best practices in designing performant #ReactJS applications, and highlights on some of the more complex issues that can come back and bite you. Plus libraries that help you get the job done.
State management is difficult. A view library, such as React, enables you to manage local component state. But it only scales to a certain point. React is just a view layer library. Eventually you decide to move on to a more sophisticated state management solution such as Redux. Yet there are certain things, that I want to point out in this article, that you should know about React before you jump on the Redux train.
We are living a new today, every day, filled with new tools and paradigms. Often, we catch ourselves trying to apply yesterday architectures on new technologies, and that can end bad. One of these cases is BEM – a CSS naming convention – which solves a problem that we maybe don’t have anymore.
In this article, we will be using Firebase along with Create React App to build an app which will function similar to Reddit. It will allow the user to submit a new link which can then be voted on.
This post reviews available tools for end-to-end testing web applications using Javascript (i.e. tests that click buttons, type text etc). Many UI frameworks comes with a tool for this, but I’m looking specifically for a framework neutral tool so I’m not considering for example Protractor (Angular), Capybara (Ruby on Rails), Mirage (Ember) etc.
Much work has gone into optimizing runtime performance over the last few years, and with that we learned many lessons. We have collected many of these learnings in a practical blog post about porting games from native to web, and look forward to your input on other areas for improvement. As multithreading support lands in 2018, expect to see opportunities to further invest in improving memory usage.

One of the great things about being a CI/CD company is that we get to practice what we preach. Instead of long dry spells between releases, we push several changes per day to keep our feedback loops short and our codebase clean. We’re small enough that we can move quickly, but large enough that our teams have the resources they need.
To effectively serve Uber’s global user base local teams create and publish content specifically for the riders and drivers in their city or region. To make the content creation process streamlined and scalable, the Uber.com Content Platform team developed Chameleon, a global content management system (CMS) for Uber.com. Named after the colorful reptile known for its ability to adapt to its environment, Chameleon allows teams to deliver content tailored to their regional markets, and provides an intuitive user interface (UI) so that anyone at Uber can easily build a customized web page.

We’re excited to announce that Google Cloud Platform (GCP) now features a cutting-edge new congestion control algorithm, TCP BBR, which achieves higher bandwidths and lower latencies for internet traffic. This is the same BBR that powers TCP traffic from google.com and that improved YouTube network throughput by 4 percent on average globally — and by more than 14 percent in some countries.

Working with the PAIR initiative, we’ve released Facets, an open source visualization tool to aid in understanding and analyzing ML datasets. Facets consists of two visualizations that allow users to see a holistic picture of their data at different granularities. Get a sense of the shape of each feature of the data using Facets Overview, or explore a set of individual observations using Facets Dive. These visualizations allow you to debug your data which, in machine learning, is as important as debugging your model.
When we think about a slider, we usually imagine an image gallery slider, or the infamous carousel, or perhaps off-canvas navigation, with the overlay sliding in from the side. However, this article is not about those kinds of sliders. Instead, we’ll look into the fine details of designing better slider controls for selecting a value or a range of values. Think of price range sliders, 360-degree-view sliders, timeline sliders, health insurance quote calculators, or build-your-own-mobile-plan features.
At GitLab, we are taking big steps towards refining our interface in an effort to make the idea to production workflow more productive. After a series of research and brainstorming sessions, we are excited to share with the community our redesign of GitLab’s navigation.
How products we build today can make the world more sustainable tomorrow. Sustainability focuses on efficient and effective solutions that are better for society, the environment, and companies via effectively using natural resources, and reducing waste and toxins in the environment.

Mozilla helped the Web win but Firefox is now losing an unwinnable marketing fight against Google. This does not mean Firefox is not a great browser. Firefox is losing despite being a great browser, and getting better all the time. Firefox is simply the victim of Google’s need to increase profit in a relatively stagnant market.
Last year, over nine thousand developers took part in the first ever edition of the State Of JavaScript survey. And now, we’re doing it again: from React to Polymer, from Service Workers to Webpack, let’s find out together which buzzwords are here to stay and which ones will soon fall to JavaScript fatigue!

每个产品诉求，都需要从整体考虑，场景的兼容性，用户的操作成本，操作友善度；为了兼容更多场景，而牺牲操作成本，操作友善度，未必是对的；取舍这个问题其实没有谁有绝对的答案，可能需要长期的运营观察和对用户行为的深刻理解；一些初级的产品经理，往往热衷于去增加功能，增加场景兼容性，而忽视了用户的操作成本，操作友善度问题，会觉得我的产品明明符合你的需求，你为什么不用？
