From desktop to browser-based and mobile, there’s a flavor for everything you’ll ever need. Yet some in our industry believe there is “JavaScript fatigue” happening. This, in a recent article in SD Times, is defined as the inability to keep up with all the tools and the constant changes in the developer ecosystem.

Angular for Designers initiative makes progress At the community ng-conf last month, the Angular team at Google announced it is advancing work on Angular for Designers. As we reported in SD Times, the public launch remains months away, but the team is hard at work on a WYSIWYG prototyping tool that will give designers the ability to create this mockups without writing any code.

Vue Vixens Every Friday on sdtimes.com, we turn the spotlight on open source by selecting a project of the week. Earlier this month, we chose a community program with the mission of introducing women to JavaScript. As SD Times news editor Christina Cardoza reported, other communities for women in programming exist (Django Girls, ng-Girls and more), but Jen Looper, a developer advocate at Progress, saw there was a lack of community around Vue.js, a progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces to help scale web applications. Here’s a video describing the effort, including a message from vue.js creator Evan You, founder of Vue Technology.
