The browser console is a frontend developers best friend. While we are all aware of the basic methods like `console.log()`, `console.warn()`, `console.debug()` or `console.error()`, are you aware of some of the lesser known, but still powerful, features? Let's dive in!
Ever since the 2015 release of ES2015 or ES6, we've had a yearly release cycle for the next version of ECMAScript. Before a feature can be added to a release, it must first go through four proposal stages before finally being approved for release. Here we'll be looking at the features that were added in ES2021 or ES12.
Throughout my career, I've had numerous friends and family ask me how would one gets started with web development today. With an sheer amount of courses and the variety of the topics in those courses, it can be very overwhelming and may seem harder to get anywhere with it all.
With my new site being built with Next.js, I needed to figure out a way to still provide RSS feeds and a sitemap using the MDX files as a source. I use `next-mdx-remote` from Hashicorp for the parsing and rendering of my MDX files and with the latest major version, v3, it got to be a little tricky so hopefully you'll find this helpful!
I've been a long-time WordPress user for my blog and thought it was about time for a change. I've been a big fan of Next.js for years now and even did a talk about it back at WordCamp Miami 2018, albeit with a non-working demo 😅. Since then, Next.js has come a long way with even more features.
