"There's always a lot to learn, a lot to do, and a lot to consider when you're a beginner - not to mention the fact that technology is constantly evolving, new software is being released, and new trends are coming at you rapid-fire. Truth be told, it can get a little overwhelming. So, let's slow things down a little bit. This article will take you through 20 principles of design to hopefully give you a headstart in this creative environment. So, stay tuned, get comfy, and let's discuss some principles"

"Nobody can predict the future. And just because this blog post is on the internet does not make it true. If anything, it should make you very skeptical. But skeptical you should be. I'm simply suggesting that none of us fully grasp the enormity of Angular and the crushing influence that it has, even if they did decide to re-write it from scratch and break everything on the daily."

"A Dark Pattern is a user interface that has been carefully crafted to trick users into doing things, such as buying insurance with their purchase or signing up for recurring bills. Normally when you think of "bad design", you think of the creator as being sloppy or lazy but with no ill intent. This type of bad design is known as a "UI anti-pattern". Dark Patterns are different - they are not mistakes, they are carefully crafted with a solid understanding of human psychology, and they do not have the user's interests in mind. We as designers, founders, UX & UI professionals and creators need to take a stance against Dark Patterns."

"As a developer, you'll not only work with other web developers, designers, and engineers but also other teams across your company. You may find yourself working closely with a marketing, support or sales team, or working directly with clients. So, you must be able to work well on a team. Whether you're working remotely or alongside your team, collaboration and communication with your peers and stakeholders is paramount to success."

"This article is about sales and how to get more of them - by making people trust you, by removing frictions from your landing page, by engaging with potential customers."

"Since learning is a lifelong task that doesn't stop after pursuing a certain academic certificate, this round-up is not only dedicated to beginners. It's for everyone who wants to become an expert in a certain field or is simply curious about the Web and the latest tools and techniques around them. We hope that this round-up will bring you closer with many of the valuable resources that are available out there. Some are completely free while others can be obtained through quite affordable memberships. You may also be surprised to find that your local college or university is also publishing free classes and courses on all sorts of topics you can think of - make sure to keep an eye open!"

"Restangular is an AngularJS service that simplifies common GET, POST, DELETE, and UPDATE requests with a minimum of client code. It's a perfect fit for any WebApp that consumes data from a RESTful API."

"The touch events interfaces are relatively low-level APIs that can be used to support application specific multi-touch interactions such as a two-finger gesture. A multi-touch interaction starts when a finger (or stylus) first touches the contact surface. Other fingers may subsequently touch the surface and optionally move across the touch surface. The interaction ends when the fingers are removed from the surface. During this interaction, an application receives touch events during the start, move and end phases."

"Material is the metaphor A material metaphor is the unifying theory of a rationalized space and a system of motion. The material is grounded in tactile reality, inspired by the study of paper and ink, yet technologically advanced and open to imagination and magic. Surfaces and edges of the material provide visual cues that are grounded in reality. The use of familiar tactile attributes helps users quickly understand affordances. Yet the flexibility of the material creates new affordances that supercede those in the physical world, without breaking the rules of physics. The fundamentals of light, surface, and movement are key to conveying how objects move, interact, and exist in space and in relation to each other. Realistic lighting shows seams, divides space, and indicates moving parts."

"2015 has been an important year for PHP. Eleven years after its 5.0 release, a new major version is finally coming our way! PHP 7 is scheduled for release before the end of the year, bringing many new language features and an impressive performance boost. But how will this impact your current PHP codebase? What really changed? How safe is it to update? This post will answer these questions and give you a taste of what's to come with PHP 7."

"One of the most delightful parts of user testing is watching users do things in a completely different way to how you thought they would. As designer Marcin Treder advised in Interaction Design Best Practices, "never underestimate the path of least resistance". User behavior should surprise you. These are the sorts of findings that you test users for in the first place. It means that your testing was well worth the effort."

"So you want to learn programming. Maybe you have asked your developer friends for recommendations and get different answers. They explained with terms that you don't understand (what is object-oriented?!). To help you to pick your first programming language to learn, here is an easy-to-understand infographic that recommends the best option, depending on your purpose and interest. Details such as learning difficulty, popularity, and average salary for each computer programming language are provided too."

"The concept of the web as an application platform has never been more popular, but the tools used to create these so-called "web apps" are still fraught with pitfalls that are often ignored or misunderstood. Single-page web app frameworks have gained traction because they can easily be used to create fast, complex applications that feel much more solid and interactive than traditional websites. But this benefit, and the changes in mindset and development practices that accompany it, comes at the cost of basic browser functionality that web developers sometimes take for granted. "
