JavaScript Optional Chaining � An Introduction

There is a new exciting feature coming to JavaScript in the not-so-far future. That
feature is Optional Chaining. At this moment, Optional Chaining is in Stage 3 of
the TC39 process, so it�s in late stages of the process and will be here soonish.

In general terms, Optional Chaining is an approach to simplify JavaScript

expressions for accessing deeply nested values, array items, and methods when there
is a possibility that a reference may be missing.

In this blog, we give an introduction to Optional Chaining in JavaScript. We

discuss what problems Optional Chaining solves, the various ways you can use it,
and relatable code examples.

Both React and Angular are very popular front end development frameworks. In this
post, I will discuss the similarities and differences between the two, and consider
when one should be used instead of the other.

React is an open-source JavaScript library introduced by Facebook to build dynamic

user interfaces. It is based on JavaScript and JSX (a PHP extension) and is
considered widely for developing reusable HTML elements for front-end development.

Angular is an open-source front-end development framework powered by Google. It is

a part of the MEAN stack and is compatible with a large number of code editors and
is considered for creating dynamic websites and web apps.

In this post, we will begin by going over the benefits of React and Angular, then
break down the differences between the two frameworks using thirteen attributes. By
comparing each framework side by side, it can help decide which is the best
framework for your specific app project.

Elm Language

This blog is about my dalliance with Elm; a purely functional, statically typed
language that has type inference. It compiles to JavaScript. Functional programming
is compelling, but heretofore, I�d only woven cherry-picked techniques into large
object-oriented projects. In FP parlance, I�m partially applied! The times, they
are a-changin�.

In this article, I�ll:

� touch on the reasoning for giving a nod to functional languages and data
immutability;
� move on to Elm; a blazing-fast, statically typed, purely functional browser-side
language that compiles to JavaScript and follows the principles of functional
reactive programming;
� survey background items and the Elm environment;
� show a simple type-and-click application, followed by a more realistic To-do
application;
� end with my impressions from functional-programming semi-outsider point-of-view.
Spring Boot and React: Happily Ever After

So you have mastered Spring Boot and started toying around with React. Now you want
React to talk to your Boot app as your back-end API. That�s fabulous. You probably
already know how to do this, but there is a kicker. You want to package them and
start both of them as just one project.

Well, you�re in luck! This blog is going to take a couple of simple projects and
combine them into one project. Lace up your boots and get ready to React!

Machine Learning enables a system to automatically learn and progress from

experience without being explicitly programmed. It�s a subset of the artificial
intelligence (AI) technology space being applied and used throughout your everyday
life. Think Siri, Alexa, toll booth scanners, text transcription of voicemails �
these types of tools are used by just about everyone.

Image recognition and computer vision are also widely being used in production;
recently just heard that Los Angeles, CA has made it illegal for law enforcement to
use face recognition technology in its numerous public video cameras. The current
state of the art allows real-time identification.

Interestingly, the algorithms and know-how for Machine Learning have been around
for a long time. Artificial Intelligence was coined and researched as far back as
the late 1950s, the advent of the digital computer, and expert systems and neural
networks, that theoretically mimics how our brain learns.

The increase in Machine Learning production-ready applications started around 2012,

with increased processing, bandwidth, and internet throughput power. This is
important as deep learning algorithms like Neural Networks require lots of data and
FPUs/GPUs to train.

In this blog, we introduce a conceptual overview of Neural Networks with a simple

Neural Net code example implementation using Go. We will interact with it by
building a ReactJS interface and train the Neural Network to recognize hand-drawn
images of the numbers 0-9. Let�s dive in�.
