TF #32 | Your weekly frontend digest

🗞 Article of the week : Happy 40th Birthday, Macintosh
The Macintosh Classic II was my very first computer. I was just playing lemmings!

---

This week, we've got 2 articles on swift, lots of articles on node, typescript, alpine, adonisJS, vue and a very good topic on react and Openlayers.
On the UX side, a case study from N/N group on indicators, validations and notifications, not to be missed.

For managers, there's a lot more to come: classics on estimating and team management, as well as the article "The 'errors' that mean you're doing it right", which I really enjoyed!
In other news, Apple is in the spotlight with the Macintosh anniversary and icloud. A good article on the English government and the migration of their PostgreSQL db.
