This article offers a perspective on the current state of front-end development, intended for both new and seasoned developers. As a front-end developer myself, I utilize modern tools regularly. However, my concern is that we are over-relying on JavaScript, even for tasks that could be efficiently accomplished with pure HTML. Also, we are making it more difficult than it needs to be in most…

If you are like me, who spends a big chunk of the time on the internet researching, learning, working, etc., you have found a lot of posts and ads that start with the words “Elevate your”. Other similar words immediately tell you that this content was written by AI. For that type of content, I ignore it completely and nothing past that gets my attention.

Should We Replace JavaScript?

It is undeniable that JavaScript has progressed drastically over the last 10 (or 15) years. In the 2000s, the version of JavaScript was dated and it took almost a decade for us to see development in JavaScript as a language. JavaScript enjoys a very active community that keeps pushing the boundaries of what can be done with JavaScript. Moreover, JavaScript has grown to be a top language even…

My UX Design Process

There are a lot of versions of the user centered design approach or the user experience design process.

Microsoft Edge is Now My Favorite Browser

Even though I don’t have Windows as my main operating system because I use Linux for software development, I appreciate the features provided by Microsoft lately. Microsoft started using Blink a while back and has enhanced its browsers with cool features. With all the common features included in the Blink browser engines, to me, Edge has become like Chrome++ in the sense that it has all the…

Correlation and Causation When Analyzing Data

In most statistics or data analysis books (at least the ones I have), there is always an explanation that states that correlation is not necessarily causation. With correlation, there is no prior assumption that two variables are dependent on each other but only estimates the degree of association between them (Sharda et al., 2021).

One of the daily struggles for designers is finding the perfect image that they can use in their designs, articles, and provide to clients. If the designer is already working at a discount for a friend or a very small company, it is not feasible to buy photos online because their prices are very high.

The Misuse of “User Experience”

One of the issues with the term User Experience (UX) is that everybody has their own definition. For example, Don Norman (who created the term) talks about the misuse of the term in general. User experience goes beyond the UI, and it is more about any point of interaction between the customers and a company. For instance, if you call customer service, talk to a salesperson in brick and mortar…

When Cloud Computing Makes Sense for a Large Corporation?

Simply stated, cloud computing is renting IT capabilities from an outside vendor over the internet (Brown et al, 2012). These capabilities could be hardware, software, or services. For example, the cloud services include accounting software, office suites like word processors, communication software, games, storage, processing capacity, and so forth (Fox & Hao, 2018).
