Update jQuery UI Widget Options
We're all used to passing options when instantiating an object, whether it be JavaScript or any other language. Whether or not you can update those options later is usually up to the framework, and somehow many wont let you update them once they've been passed in. Depending...
![Require Parameters for JavaScript Functions]()
Require Parameters for JavaScript Functions
JavaScript is notorious for being "loose", something that some developers love but other developers loathe. I hear most of those complaints from server side developers, who want string typing and syntax. While I like strict coding standards, I also like that JavaScript lets me quickly prototype without having...
![Inspect jQuery Element Events]()

![Responsive Images with Client Hints]()
Responsive Images with Client Hints
It doesn't take being a performance fanatic to know that images can really slow down a page's load time. We've come a long way when it comes to images, from lazy loading them to using better image formats like WebP, but they all involve loading the...
![Node.js Raw Mode with Keystrokes]()
Node.js Raw Mode with Keystrokes
I find the stuff that people are doing with Node.js incredibly interesting. You here about people using Node.js to control drones, Arduinos, and a host of other devices. I took advantage of Node.js to create a Roku Remote, a project that was fun and easier than I thought...
