- Stale-while-revalidate Data Fetching with React Hooks: A Guide (Publication)Inspired by stale-while-revalidate cache control logic, modern sites implement stale-while-refresh logic on the UI side. Thankfully, React Hooks make this logic painlessly reusable across components.
- Introduction to Functional Programming: JavaScript Paradigms (Publication)Functional Programming is a paradigm of building computer programs using expressions and functions without mutating state and data. In this article, we will talk about doing functional programming using JavaScript. We will also explore various JavaScript methods and features that make it possible. In the end, we will explore different concepts associated with functional programming and see why they are so powerful.
