Frontend and backend web development from someone who's been writing PHP since the early 2000s. Frameworks, performance, security, and the decisions that matter at scale.
Web Development
Django is the Python web framework that ships with an ORM, admin panel, authentication, and migrations out of the box. Instagram built its 2-billion-user backend on it. Here is how it works and when you should use it.
Programming
Python runs Instagram, Dropbox, Netflix, Spotify, and Reddit. It trains the models that power modern AI. It processes petabytes of data in enterprise pipelines. And I ignored it for years because I thought it was just for academics. Here is what changed my mind.
Web Development
React for the UI, Vite for the build tooling, Tailwind for the styles. This is the stack most new frontend projects start with in 2025. This guide wires all three together from scratch and builds a real application structure you can actually start a production project from.
Web Development
Tailwind is a utility-first CSS framework. You style elements by stacking single-purpose class names directly in your markup. Half the dev community hated this idea, then started using it. Here's why it works and what you need to know.
Web Development
Vite replaced Webpack for a lot of teams without much fanfare. Native ES modules, a dev server that starts in milliseconds, and a production build that doesn't require understanding 300 lines of config. Here's how it works and why the switch is worth it.
Web Development
A production-focused deep dive into how the JavaScript event loop actually works — call stack mechanics, microtask vs. macrotask priority, connection pooling, atomic rate limiting, parallel async patterns, and graceful shutdown. Every concept is backed by enterprise-ready code you can use directly.
Web Development
React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Facebook built it in 2013, open-sourced it, and the entire frontend ecosystem reorganized itself around it. Here is how the component model works, why it took over, and what you need to know before writing a single line.
Software Development
Past the benchmark charts and feature matrices — here's what Deno's permission system and Bun's native APIs look like when you build something real with them. The gotchas, the sharp edges, and the parts that are actually better than Node.
Web Development
Three JavaScript runtimes. Three different philosophies on what the developer experience should feel like. Here's how they compare on performance, ecosystem, tooling, and the only decision that actually matters for production.
Web Development
Bun is a JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner in a single binary written in Zig. It's also the fastest thing to happen to JavaScript tooling in years — and it runs your existing Node.js code.
Web Development
In 2018, Ryan Dahl stood at JSConf EU and apologized for Node.js. Then he built Deno to fix the things he got wrong. Here's what changed, what the security model actually looks like, and whether switching is worth it.
Web Development
Node.js took the V8 engine out of Chrome and ran it on a server. That sounds like a small change. What it actually did was flip how developers think about I/O — and spawn an ecosystem of two million packages.
