EDITOR’S NOTE

FEATURED AUTHORS

WELCOME

It’s hard not to feel a little reflective when

you’ve just waved goodbye to a decade. And it’s

safe to say that, as far as the web goes, the 2010s

were a bit of a mixed bag. Sure, we enjoyed the

revolution that was HTML5, reshaped the online

world with responsive design and broke free of

formulaic web templates with CSS grid. But the

internet’s rep also took a bit of a beating, thanks to

the NSA, #gamergate, Donald Trump, Cambridge

Analytica and so many other scandals.

But when it comes to technology, I’m nothing if not

an optimist and I’m confident that there are bright

times ahead for the web. That’s why we’ve dedicated

our latest issue to the exciting things coming up in

the future.

First of all, Louis Lazaris rounds up the tools worth

adding to your workflow in 2020, whether they’re

JavaScript libraries, CSS and HTML tools or testing

tools. We also look at React, Angular and Vue.js and

how they’re set to evolve over the next decade.

On top of that, we’re offering up plenty of practical

projects, including how you can build a time-based

UI animation and add particle effects to 3D sites.
