Top 7 Featured DEV Posts from the Past Week

Every Tuesday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week.

Attacke! Your Expectations

This is how @iamschulz built Attacke!, a simple 2D fighting game in JavaScript.

Goodbye IE

@alvaromontoro has been publishing a webcomic for four months: a comic about CSS (and web development) without images, all coded in CSS and HTML.

A companion guide to JS hoisting

A handy breakdown of hoisting in JavaScript, with a focus on variables and functions.

Go Anatomy 101

@vigneshm243 recently started learning Go! Here, we’ll try to break down a simple Go program that prints a line to understand the anatomy of a Go program.

Frameworks are Overrated

This blog is about yet another javascript framework but with a twist, you don't have to make those .js files to use it, it integrates right with your HTML! ;)

You don’t need a JS Library for your Components

Have you ever asked yourself how many times you wrote a Button component using different libraries or frameworks? To solve this problem, Web Components can simplify this process since they work natively with the Browsers and can also be integrated into any JS Framework/Library.

CSS Isn’t Magic: Positioning

@melnik909 talks about the position property! We'll consider many cases that often confuse developers.

That's it for our weekly Top 7 for this Tuesday! Keep an eye on dev.to this week for daily content and discussions...and be sure to keep an eye on this series in the future. You might just be in it!
