The Challenges of Building a Reliable Real-Time Event-Driven Ecosystem
Globally, there is an increasing appetite for data delivered in real time; we are witnessing the emergence of the real time API. When it comes to event-driven APIs engineers can choose between multiple different protocols. In addition to choosing a protocol, engineers also have to think about subscription models, too: server-initiated (push-based) or client-initiated (pull-based).

Interview about Wallaby.js and Quokka.js JavaScript Productivity Tools
Wallaby.js and Quokka.js are JavaScript/TypeScript productivity tools that provide additional capabilities within IDEs such as VS Code, WebStorm or Atom. Quokka.js provides additional runtime value introspection information within context in an IDE, while Wallaby.js provides distraction-free testing by providing test results within the IDE. Today we’re joined by Simon McEnlly, COO at Wallaby.

Programming Microcontrollers with JavaScript -- Q&A with Peter Hoddie and Lizzie Prader
JavaScript developers can now write IoT software on a large range of devices, including low-specs micro-controllers with as little as 32KB of memory. As the TC53 committee and companies like Moddable create standards and software for the interoperability of heterogeneous hardware, IoT companies may tap in a large pool of JavaScript developers, and leverage the productivity of a scripting language.

Don’t Mix the Paint! Primitives and Composites in the World of Software
Because software is created from synthetic primitives (code, interfaces, requirements, etc.), engineers must accept that assumptions are often wrong, and adopt a mindset of challenging everything. Creating a system that continually tests the assumptions can help actualize the mindset.

Deno Loves WebAssembly
The much anticipated Deno project has finally reached v1.0! Deno is created by the original developer of Node.js, Ryan Dahl, to address what he called “10 things I regret about Node.js”. Without an NPM-like system to incorporate native modules, how do we write server-side applications that require native performance on Deno? WebAssembly is here to help!
