20 Docs and Guides for Front-End Developers (#4)

It’s that time again to get learning! Well, in this industry, that time is always I suppose. This is the fourth of such posts I’ve put together and this might be the best one yet.

I’ve stumbled across and collected lots of different guides and learning resources in recent months and this is the latest installment.

Enjoy!

1. Loupe

This is “a little visualisation to help you understand how JavaScript’s call stack/event loop/callback queue interact with each other.” It’s interactive, allowing you to include your own custom code and then execute it, and there’s also a video presentation on the same topic.

2. First Aid Git

“A searchable collection of the most frequently asked Git questions.” This looks useful for anyone with average or below average skills with Git. Currently has 38 separate topics that can be found via an on-page search filter.

3. Periodic Table of ARIA 1.0 Roles & Attributes

This is two separate pages — which I suppose brings this list to 21 — documenting detailed info on ARIA roles and attributes.

Periodic Table of ARIA 1.0 Roles

Just click on a role or attribute and an overlay will display information from the spec on that feature.

4. Is Service Worker Ready?

The Service Workers specification is a promising (no pun intended!) new standard that isn’t quite ready for production because of lack of browser support and being still in flux. This little info site has a description of the spec’s features and how they measure up in the different browsers.

5. Browser support for broken/missing images

This is something we probably all take for granted most of the time. This is a CodePen-based document by Bart Veneman that outlines exactly how the different browsers/OSes handle broken images (with placeholder, alt text, border, etc.)

6. 2014 Responsive Report

This is an annual responsive survey conducted by the folks at Gridset. Over 1000 participants in this survey provide information on challenges they face in their RWD workflow, in relation to clients, testing, and so forth. The survey also looks at optimism (or lack of it), trends, and tools used in RWD.
