Sets & Maps in JavaScript

When it comes to picking the right data structure, developers often invest significant time in choosing what should be implemented.

For storing keys/value pairs, developers use Objects, and for storing indexed lists, they use Arrays. Iterable objects in ECMAScript 2015 presented two new types: Maps and Sets in JavaScript.

APIs and JavaScript: Maximizing Development Potential

For decades, businesses of all sizes have uncovered the value of application programming interfaces (APIs). However, it’s only in recent years that the implementation of APIs has exploded, often thanks to greater accessibility. From reducing costs to creating more interconnected experiences, the benefits of APIs for developers and business leaders are clear — but what are they, and how do they relate to something like JavaScript?

Angular vs AngularJS: Differences Between Angular and AngularJS

What is the difference between Angular vs AngularJS? AngularJS is the most primitive version of Angular that was developed by Google and is one of the oldest front-end frameworks for building SPAs. However, Google recently dropped support for AngularJS which makes Angular the obviously better choice out of the two. However, there are still some projects that use AngularJS and it can be helpful to understand the differences between the two in case you wish to migrate to Angular.
