WELCOME

Considering JavaScript is used by 95.1% of all

websites, it’s no surprise it’s considered one of

the most critical tools in a web designer’s arsenal.

Given it’s dynamic, weakly typed, prototype-based

and offers a multi-paradigm approach, JavaScript

is well-suited to solving myriad programming

problems. However, this very versatility also means

that it can be hard to identify the right packages and

programs to serve your purposes.

Evidently, the dev and design community is crying

out for a detailed breakdown of the benefits of the

many packages on offer. Fortunately, they are in

luck. This issue Matt Crouch is outlining all of the

JavaScript tools you need to unleash your creativity,

whether they are helping you increase code quality,

perfect project testing or make use of interfaces.

And there’s far more JS where that came from.

This issue Neil Pearce is here to give you a grounding

in Vue.js and show how the flexible framework can

be used to build a single-page app. Meanwhile, Carl

Cahill runs down a range of power prototyping tools

to perfectly plan out your projects. Finally, Simon

Yeoman dives into the issue of net regulation and

whether tech companies can ever really be trusted to

police themselves.

Enjoy the issue!
