The JavaScript ecosystem stretches across frontend, backend, and middleware. There are newer tools such as GraphQL, Gatsby, and WebAssembly. There are frameworks like React, Vue, and Angular. There is complex data handling with streams, caches, and TensorFlow.js. JavaScript is unlike any other ecosystem, because a single language can be used to construct every part of The post JS Party with Kevin Ball appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Java has been popular since the 90s, when it started to be used as a programming language for enterprises.  Today, Java is still widely deployed, but the infrastructure environment is dramatically different. Java is often deployed to containers in the cloud. If those containers can share resources, then those containers can share the same underlying The post Java 13 with Georges Saab appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

HTTP is a protocol that allows browsers and web applications to communicate across the Internet. Everyone knows that HTTP is doing some important work, because “HTTP” is at the beginning of most URLs that you enter into your browser. You might be familiar with the request/response model, and HTTP request methods such as GET, PUT, The post HTTP with Julia Evans appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Frontend software development has become as complex as backend development. There was a time when frontend web development was simple. There was a small number of JavaScript frameworks and templating systems. Your CSS was simple configuration for the colors on your webpage. Today, there is a giant ecosystem of frontend tools, APIs, and middleware delivering The post Gatsby with Kyle Mathews and Sam Bhagwat appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Webflow is a platform for building applications without programming. Software engineering has barely been around for 30 years. Over that period of time, there have been many attempts to create a platform that allows for the creation of software without writing a line of code. Most of these systems have not been able to fulfill The post Webflow: No-Code with Vlad Magdolin appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Isolation is a fundamental concept in computer science. Software workloads are isolated from each other in order to keep resource access cleanly separated.  When programs are properly isolated, it is easier for the programmer to reason about the memory safety of that program. When a program is not properly isolated, it can lead problems such The post WebAssembly Isolation with Tyler McMullen appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

The browser has become the central application of the consumer operating system. Every piece of client software, from email to document management, has become usable through the browser. Even modern desktop software such as Slack is built using Electron, a tool for building client applications that essentially run inside of a browser without an address The post Repl.it: Browser Coding with Amjad Masad appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Facebook was built using PHP, a programming language that was used widely in the late 90s and early 2000s. PHP allows developers to get web applications built quickly and easily, although PHP has a reputation for being difficult to scale.  In the early days of Facebook, the company was scaling rapidly on every dimension.  New The post Facebook PHP with Keith Adams appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Edge computing allows for faster data access and computation. When your client application makes a request, that request might be routed to the edge. Edge servers are more numerous and more widely distributed than normal data centers, but an edge server might not have all of the data or the complete application logic for the The post Edge Storage with Steve Klabnik appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Google Earth allows users to explore the imagery of the real world. Imagery for Google Earth is taken from satellites, cars equipped with cameras, and other sources. Google Earth renders a data intensive 3-D model of the world on a client application such as a desktop browser or virtual reality system.  WebAssembly is a runtime The post Google Earth WebAssembly with Jordon Mears appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

Software projects are organized and planned using project management software. Examples of project management software include JIRA, Trello, and Asana. There are hundreds of tools for managing a software project because there are infinite ways that a project could be managed. Google Docs changed project management by allowing documents to be easier to share and The post Project Management with Kurt Schrader appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

WebAssembly allows for web-based execution of languages other than JavaScript. Programs written in Rust or C++ can be compiled down to WebAssembly and shipped over the browser for on-the-fly execution in a safe, memory controlled environment. WebAssembly has been in development for more than two years, and is still an immature ecosystem because building the The post WebAssembly Compilation with Till Schneidereit appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.

WebAssembly is a binary instruction format for applications to run in a memory-constrained, stack-based virtual machine. The WebAssembly ecosystem consists of tools and projects that allow programs in a variety of languages to compile into WebAssembly and run in a safe, fast, sandboxed runtime environment. WebAssembly is a transformative technology for the Internet. Most users The post Web Assembly Runtime with Tyler McMullen appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
