So you're a pretty great web developer already. You've got some killer CSS chops (cross browser even), perhaps you've been a Photoshop expert for years, and you've got enough jQuery knowledge to make almost any chained animation go smoothly. But certainly you ask yourself, what's next? In fact, one of the most asked questions about web development is, "how do I stay on the leading edge?" Chris Coyier recently presented a fantastic talk on the subject, and there are sites fully dedicated to staying up to date on the latest web design news. Addy Osmani's roundup on becoming a better front-end engineer sets some great content out on the board for you to consider on the subject; needless to say, a lot of smart people are thinking about this very subject, so you're headed in the right direction.

Outsourcing is great, but it may not be appropriate for certain functions. The Rule of Thumb is, 'If something comes in the first few sentences of your pitch, You probably don't want to outsource it.' For instance, Google's pitch is that its search algorithm provides better results than everyone else's. It is their core offering and prime differentiating factor. Hence, they probably should not outsource the development of the "PageRank" search algorithm. Now, even google may decide to outsource some non-­‐core software such as the front-­‐end work for the android web page or sales support CRM for their Adwords team. In fact, they do. According to Google, a business should "Eliminate, automate or outsource any of the non-­‐value transactional work-­‐ it has really freed up ourselves, and it is a never-­‐ending exercise to constantly refine that."

Sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development.

A very nice graphical front-end for 'du', in Common Lisp. I have tried it - it is trivial to use with SBCL. Version 0.3 works very well on the native Linux filesystem of my laptop, and on its VFAT (Windows) filesystem, provided I mount it with iocharset

Certain kinds of deployment are much more efficiently achieved with virtual servers. This article is a simple and almost hands-on introduction to the way a Sun Cloud deployment can be scripted or have another automated front end for deployment.

WordCamp Raleigh 2011 featured me talking about how to Debug in WordPress and how to file a bug report for WordPress. I talked about a number of tools that make debugging easier that everyone should check out.

React is an open-source, front-end, JavaScript library for building user interfaces or UI components. Just like Vuejs, It gives us the ability to create components, layouts etc in our application. In this article we will go through all the fundamentals of Reactjs in this React Cheat Sheet.

Today's front-end developers don't just need to understand how to write CSS, we need to know how to write it efficiently. And what "efficiently" means can depend on your project and environment. Perhaps you have a team with several members working in the CSS and you need an efficient way to work together. Or maybe you have a huge enterprise site and you need your CSS optimized for speed. You could even be working with a legacy system that restricts access to HTML, which means you need efficient selectors to effectively style elements without ids or classes. You might even face all these situations and more.

One of the most important aspects of a front-end framework is how it handles navigation. In this part of Foundation for Beginners, we'll take a look at several forms of navigation, along with some JavaScript tools which add extra flourish. I'll also introduce you to another helpful tool which will help you to become a better Foundation developer.
