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

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

View transitions are pretty neat, and I was fortunate enough to write a piece for @piccalil.li about putting them to work.
They're such an exciting new part of the web platform, and I'm elated to see new and boundary-pushing effects making their way into production.

On the plus side, at least that Elementor WordPress plugin is named “Elementor,” so I can write things like “ah, Elementor—my old foe! Thine markup remains as shambolic as ever, I see” as wizardpost placeholder for myself in accessibility documentation.
There are no other plus sides to Elementor.

Kind of a long shot, but any of you dorks know of a tiny board like this male one available anywhere? I need to add a couple of keyboard-mapped buttons to a tiny ~1.5"×1.5" enclosure.

See, my Windows VM pipes audio out though my normal headset, but my Mac VM can only do audio if I provide it with a USB passthrough device, and that’s why I'm standing in a literal padded room wearing two sets of headphones and listening to NVDA and VoiceOver at the same time, like a normal person.

As I’ve mentioned, the JavaScript for Everyone lesson on iterators was one of my favorites to write (frustrating as it was at times).

JavaScript For Everyone: Iterators — Smashing Magazine
Here is a lesson on Iterators. Iterables implement the iterable iteration interface, and iterators implement the iterator iteration interface. Sounds confusing? Mat breaks it all down in the article.

There's a new #CSS Working Group poll to get feedback on different names for the infamous 'Pinterest' layout.
- Since it uses many of the grid-* properties, `grid` will be in the name somewhere
- We don't use metaphors in CSS names, so `masonry` is not listed here

See https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12022 for context.
