Read the full tutorial: Build AI-Powered Apps with Genkit & Angular Exclusive excerpts you can’t miss! ✍️ If your app or site is swimming in content, this one’s for you. Designing Information Architecture by Pabini Gabriel-Petit is a modern, practical guide to structuring digital spaces for clarity, findability, and real user flow. From foundational IA principles to modern, AI-powered search strategies, this book helps you build experiences where users don’t just scroll—they find what they came for. Whether you’re building a content-heavy site or refining an app’s navigation, this is one resource you’ll want close by. Preorder your copy today! Understanding an organization’s content “Organizational goals, real-world resources, who your users are, what your users want, competitor activities, and many other factors all affect whether … your Web content will be successful.”—Kristina Halvorson Before defining an IA strategy for an information space or product, you must first analyze and understand the content that already exists—including its scope, the topics it covers, and the types of content—any gaps in that content, and what content the organization needs develop or acquire to fill those gaps. If you’re working in partnership with a content strategist, you’ll be able to obtain much of the information you need about the organization’s current and planned content from your colleague. Otherwise, you’ll likely need to take responsibility for gathering that information yourself by interviewing your team’s content managers, content creators, and other content owners. To accelerate your information-gathering process, you should consider facilitating a content-strategy meeting, bringing together five to seven key content owners from a variety of disciplines for a discussion about the information space’s content. In the section “Content-owner interviews,” in Chapter 6, Understanding and Structuring Content, you’ll find a long list of the questions to which you might need to get answers during your content-owner interviews or content-strategy meetings, including questions about planning an information space’s content, assessing an organization’s existing content, creating new content, and learning about the organization’s content-development and content-management processes. In addition to content-owner interviews, Chapter 6 also describes a variety of other content-analysis methods in depth, including how to conduct content inventories, content audits, content mapping, and competitive content analyses. These methods enable you to gain a deep understanding of an information space’s content that can inform the definition of an effective IA strategy and drive the design of a successful information architecture. Once you fully understand the scope of the organization’s existing content, the topics and types of content that an information space already comprises, the content’s meaning and value to target users, its business value to the organization, what additional content your team needs to create or acquire, and how to create a coherent structure for the information space, you’ll also need to determine how best to structure the information space’s content on its individual pages and specific types of page templates. Content modeling focuses on the design of detailed page structures by decomposing the pages’ content into chunks and determining the order in which to sequence those chunks. The content objects on any given page can be static, dynamic, or a combination of the two. A content model’s key elements comprise the information space’s content types, content components, and access structures. You’ll find more information about modeling content in the section “Bottom-up information architecture,” later in this chapter. If an organization has not yet created all the content an information space would require, help your team’s content strategist to plan what content the content team should create. However, if there is no content strategist on your team, you might need to take on some of the responsibilities of that role as well to ensure that a viable content strategy exists and the content team can move forward with developing the necessary content for the information space. Plus, as you work on your IA strategy, you might discover gaps in the organization’s content. Be sure to share this information with your content team. As your organization identifies evolving content requirements for an information space, you must frequently realign your IA strategy with the organization’s business strategy, and your information architecture must continually adapt to accommodate those needs. In fact, an organization’s business strategy, content strategy, IA strategy, content development, and information architecture typically evolve in parallel with one another. Developer tip of the week 💡 Smarter CSS Cleanup with AI for Leaner, Faster Web Pages We’ve all been there—bloated CSS files, unused styles piling up, and performance taking a hit. But what if AI could handle the cleanup for you? A new study from researchers at Chosun University explores exactly that: using machine learning to automate CSS optimization in real-world web projects. The AI model they developed scans your CSS codebase, identifies unused or redundant styles, and automatically strips the fat—resulting in lighter, faster-loading pages without breaking your layout. Their system even learns from user interaction data to predict which styles are worth keeping. Why should devs care? Because bloated CSS isn’t just an aesthetic issue—it’s a performance killer. Especially for mobile users or low-bandwidth connections, every kilobyte counts. This kind of AI-driven cleanup could eventually plug right into your build process, making optimization as seamless as linting. The research is still in its early stages, but it shows huge promise for making front-end workflows more intelligent and efficient. Imagine a future where AI not only writes CSS, but actively maintains it for you. Take a deeper dive on ResearchGate.

Analyzing case studies of JVM tuning To fully grasp the impact of JVM tuning, it’s helpful to see how specific configurations and optimizations might be applied in a scenario. Let’s approach case studies of JVM tuning to address performance challenges. Improving latency in a high-traffic web application (Case Study 1) A large-scale e-commerce application experienced significant latency during peak traffic periods. Users reported slow response times, particularly during flash sales when the application handled a high volume of concurrent requests. The root cause identified was long garbage collection pauses during Major GC in the Old Generation. The application used the default Parallel Garbage Collector, which focused on throughput but caused stop-the-world events that blocked request processing. A possible approach to address the issue could be: • Garbage collector selection: Switch to the G1 Garbage Collector using -XX:+UseG1GC, designed to minimize GC pause times. • Target pause time: Set the option -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis to target a maximum garbage collection pause duration. • Heap sizing: Adjust the initial and maximum heap settings with -Xms<Value> and -Xmx<Value> to ensure a consistent heap size and avoid the overhead associated with resizing. • Region size: In the G1 Garbage Collector, the heap is divided into equally sized regions, each serving as a flexible unit for memory allocation and garbage collection. The size of these regions can significantly impact performance, as smaller regions improve memory allocation granularity. Still, it may increase management overhead, while larger regions reduce overhead but can lead to less efficient memory use. We can configure the region size using the JVM parameter -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=<value>. Choosing the optimal region size depends on the application’s memory footprint and behavior. With the latency challenges of high-traffic web applications addressed, let’s turn to a different context: optimizing performance for a data-intensive analytics platform. Scaling a data-intensive analytics platform (Case Study 2) A big data analytics platform faced severe performance bottlenecks while processing massive datasets. The application frequently ran out of memory and experienced long garbage collection pauses, disrupting workflows and delaying critical analytics tasks. The root cause was identified as an overwhelmed Old Generation due to the accumulation of large, long-lived objects. The platform’s memory-intensive operations required a garbage collector capable of handling a large heap with minimal impact on execution. A possible approach to address the issue could be: • Garbage collector selection: Adopt the Z Garbage Collector (ZGC) for its low-pause characteristics and scalability. • Heap scaling: Set heap size dynamically using -XX:InitialRAMPercentage=<value> and -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=<value> to allocate memory based on available system resources. • GC logging: Enable detailed GC logs with -Xlog:gc* for real-time monitoring and fine-tuning. • Max pause time: Configure minimal pause durations using -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis. After scaling a data-intensive platform, let’s explore how JVM tuning can address memory constraints in containerized microservices architectures. Optimizing memory usage in a microservices architecture (Case Study 3) A microservices-based payment processing system deployed in a Kubernetes cluster frequently exceeded container memory limits, leading to pod restarts and service disruptions. This issue impacted the reliability of payment processing during peak transaction loads. The problem was traced to inefficient heap size configurations and suboptimal garbage collection in containers' constrained memory environment. A possible approach to address the issue could be: • Garbage collector selection: Switch to the Shenandoah Garbage Collector using -XX:+UseShenandoahGC for concurrent garbage collection and memory compaction. • Heap size management: Configure heap sizes as percentages of container memory using -XX:InitialRAMPercentage=<value> and -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=<value>. • Metaspace tuning: Prevent uncontrolled growth by setting -XX:MetaspaceSize=<value> and -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=<value>. These case studies demonstrate how JVM tuning can resolve performance bottlenecks and enhance application reliability. By carefully selecting garbage collectors, optimizing heap configurations, and exploring advanced JVM options, systems can achieve improved scalability, reduced latency, and efficient resource utilization. Next, we’ll explore JVM profiling and GC analysis tools. AI in the spotlight 🔦 OpenAI has just dropped some game-changing tools for developers: the Responses API and an open-source Agents SDK. These new offerings make it easier than ever to create sophisticated AI agents capable of tasks like web searches, data retrieval, and even executing computer operations.

This development signifies a pivotal moment in AI integration for web and app development, offering developers the resources to build more intelligent and responsive applications. Read more about it. Developer tip of the week 💡 Boost Your Core Web Vitals: Great user experiences start with performance. One of the biggest improvements to most websites is lazy-loading images beneath the fold, rather than downloading them all on initial page load regardless of whether a visitor scrolls to see them or not. Browsers provide this natively via the loading="lazy" attribute on the <img> element, and there are also many client-side JavaScript libraries that can do this For more tips on web performance, have a read through this documentation.

Web Development TutorialAn excerpt from 'Django 5 by Example'By Antonio MeléUsing a class-based view to list postsTo understand how to write class-based views, we will create a new class-based view that is equivalent to thepost_listview. We will create a class that will inherit from the genericListViewview offered by Django.ListViewallows you to list any type of object.Edit theviews.pyfile of theblogapplication and add the following code to it:from django.views.generic import ListView class PostListView(ListView): """ Alternative post list view """ queryset = Post.published.all() context_object_name = 'posts' paginate_by = 3 template_name = 'blog/post/list.html'ThePostListViewview is analogous to thepost_listview we built previously. We have implemented a class-based view that inherits from theListViewclass. We have defined a view with the following attributes:We usequerysetto use a custom QuerySet instead of retrieving all objects. Instead of defining aquerysetattribute, we could have specifiedmodel = Postand Django would have built the genericPost.objects.all()QuerySet for us.We use the context variablepostsfor the query results. The default variable isobject_listif you don’t specify anycontext_object_name.We define the pagination of results withpaginate_by, returning three objects per page.We use a custom template to render the page withtemplate_name. If you don’t set a default template,ListViewwill useblog/post_list.htmlby default.Now, edit theurls.pyfile of theblogapplication, comment the precedingpost_listURL pattern, and add a new URL pattern using thePostListView class.Read the 'Django 5 by Example' book now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!Ruby on RailsSilence deprecate message during “app:update” commandWhen running theapp:updatecommand you previously may see warnings due to not adopting thenew_framework_defaults.

It would be ideal to have some helpers toassertagainst such event emission. Have heard such helpers could be helpful internal to Rails as well.Add “affected_rows” to “sql.active_record” eventTherecently addedrow_countvalue is very useful for identifying cases where a query would return a large result set as large results can end up using a lot of memory or even be blocked by databases like Vitess.However, somewhere thatrow_countfalls short is for queries that do not necessarily return their results back to the client. These queries that affect too many rows can lead to their own set of problems, such as overwhelming replication and causing replication lag.Allow “hidden_field” tag to accept a custom autocomplete valueIn#43280autocomplete="off"was enforced for all hidden inputs generated by Rails to fix afirefox bug. Unfortunately it’s also a legitimate use-case to specify anautocompletewith a value such asusernameand a value on a hidden input. This hints to the browser that (in this example) the username of a password reset form is what we’ve provided as the value and the password manager can store it as such.Allow to reset cache counters for multiple recordsThere is often a need to reset counter caches for multiple records. Achieving this before will generate many extra queries.Parallel tests with :number_of_processors uses cgroups-aware usable processor countWhen using parallel tests the default will now try to allocate a worker pool based of the total number of processors available to the system.Fix Mysql2Adapter support for prepared statementsIf you’re using the Mysql2 adapter and rely on prepared statements, you may want to wait for the next bug-fix release before upgrading to Rails 8.0.SvelteKitSnippets can now be used to fill slots (5.0.0-next.262,#13427)hidden until-foundandbeforematchare now available on DOM elements (5.0.0-next.266,MDN Docs,#13612)Breaking:State mutations are not allowed in logic block expressions (5.0.0-next.269,#13625)getContext()is now allowed within$derivedrunes (5.1.0,Docs,#13830)And that’s a wrap.P.S.: If you have any suggestions or feedback, or would like us to feature your project on a particular subject, please write to us.

A session will also contain the user datawithinreturnedSession.data.Since themiddleware.jsfile is executed before anything else, we can also use it as a guardian to check whether someone is authenticated and what resource is accessed. If there is an active session, we want to allow access to all routes starting with/tickets. You can easily achieve this with thefollowing code:export async function middleware(req) { const res = NextResponse.next(); const { supabase, response }= getSupabaseReqResClient({ request: req }); const session = await supabase.auth.getSession(); const requestedPath = req.nextUrl.pathname; const sessionUser = session.data?.session?.user; if (requestedPath.startsWith("/tickets")) { if (!sessionUser) { return NextResponse.redirect(new URL("/", req.url)); } } return response.value;}In this adaptedmiddleware.jscode, we first get the path of the URL. If it starts with/tickets, then we check whether the user data isnotavailable; if that’s the case, then it’s someone trying to access a protected area who isnotauthenticated. In that case, we would redirect back to the page where the login sits (atyour.domain/); we do so by using theNextResponse.redirect()function and passing it a newlyconstructed URL.Why don’t we simply useNextResponse.redirect("/")though? The reason is that Next.js expects an absolute URL (https://nextjs.org/docs/messages/middleware-relative-urls) – this can be constructed withnew URL()using the given URL (req.url) and changing itspath (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/URL).Read 'Building Production-Grade Web Applications with Supabase' now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!LaravelLaravel 11.30 Released - The Laravel team released v11.30, which includes defer testing helpers, the ability to define custom unique string IDs for Eloquent models, the use of backed Enums withAuthorizesRequests, and more.Laravel NewNow, you can install PHP and the Laravel installer with a single command.Laravel MongoDB releases version 5.0Version 5.0 of the official Laravel MongoDB integration is now available andLaravel Herd added native supportWireSpy for Laravel LivewireWireSpy lets you instantly debug and interact with your Laravel Livewire components.

You’ll be able to write more consistent and idiomatic code. For newcomers to the framework, there’s less stuff to learn. Web Development TutorialImplementing the login functionality in our appLet’s enable theapp/Login.jscomponent to log us in with our freshly created user. To do so, open the component and go to your form tag where we have the followingonSubmitlistener and code waiting for us to bring itto life:onSubmit={(event) => { event.preventDefault(); if (isPasswordLogin) { alert("User wants to login with password"); } else { alert("User wants to login with magic link"); }}}As seen in the code logic, in our existing UI, we have prepared two login options:Sign in with Passwordand aSign in with Magic Link. Here, we will look at the password-based login first, and in theAuthenticating with magic linkssection, we will look at the magiclink variant.First, make sure that you initialize a Supabase client in theLogincomponent. Just add one right below yourinput references:...const passwordInputRef = useRef(null);const supabase = getSupabaseBrowserClient();...As you’ve seen in the first chapter, the Supabase services are neatly separated by concern but seamlessly connected; this is the same way the Supabase client exposes functionality to those services. If you want to do anything related to authentication, you’ll find it withinsupabase.auth. Within that, we get access to a method namedsignInWithPassword(..), which takes an email and password to authenticate with. That’s what we willuse now.Read 'Building Production-Grade Web Applications with Supabase' now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!LaravelIntegrate Unsplash in Your Laravel Application - The Laravel Unsplash package provides an easy way to integrate your Laravel project with the Unsplash API.

Given that one of the main sources of unreliability in IEEE 802.11 stems from the current distributed channel access, which is based on Listen-Before-Talk (LBT), the development of novel contention schemes gains importance for Wi-Fi 8 and beyond. In this paper, we propose a new channel contention mechanism, "It's Your Turn" (IYT), that extends the existing Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) and aims at improving the reliability of distributed LBT by providing ordered device transmissions thanks to neighboring activity awareness.payload - Payload is the open-source, fullstack Next.js framework, giving you instant backend superpowers.

Use Payload as a headless CMS or for building powerful applications.RepresentationAlignment for Generation: Training Diffusion Transformers Is Easier - Generative models based on denoising, such as diffusion models and flow-based models, have been a scalable approach in generating high-dimensional visual data. Recent works have started exploring diffusion models as representation learners; the idea is that the hidden states of these models can capture meaningful, discriminative features. We identify that the main challenge in training diffusion models stems from the need to learn a high-quality internal representation. We show the performance of generative diffusion models can be improved dramatically when they are supported by an external high-quality representation from another model, such as a self-supervised visual encoder. Specifically, we introduce REPresentation Alignment (REPA), a simple regularization technique built on recent diffusion transformer architectures.1 bug, $50,000+ in bounties, how Zendesk intentionally left a backdoor in Fortune 500 companies - Zendesk is a billion-dollar company providing a customer service tool used by some of the world’s top companies. Since Zendesk is just seen as a basic ticketing tool, companies often set it up without much thought Why is that dangerous? Many companies use their @company.com domain for Single Sign-On (SSO), which lets employees quickly log in to internal tools. By connecting Zendesk to the same domain, companies unknowingly create a potential security gap. A serious vulnerability in Zendesk allowed attackers to read customer support tickets from any company using Zendesk. All they had to do was sent a crafted email to a Support email handled by Zendesk.Electronic Arts streamlines game patching with AWS - Electronic Arts (EA) engages players around the globe in immersive games across PC, console, and mobile.

Enter theAndroid Virtualization Framework (AVF), a groundbreaking innovation designed to enhance security, efficiency, and flexibility in Android devices. In this blog post, we’ll explore AVF and how its key components work together to create a more secure mobile ecosystem. Web Development TutorialImplementing a page to create a new ticketWe’ll now create a page that is shown when theCreate New Ticketnavigation buttonis clicked.Since, per our navigation component code, we wanted the ticket creation to be at/tickets/new, you now have to create theapp/tickets/new/page.jsfile.Then, we want to show a form that allows us to set the title and a description for a new ticket – that’s sufficient at the moment, but you can extend the form to allow more input later (such asUrgency,Reference Link, or whatever comes to your mind with regards toticket management).We also want frontend functionality, such asonSubmit, in the ticket creation form, so we’ll certainly need a client component ('use client';). This time, we will simply make the page itself theclient component.To do this, go toapp/tickets/new/page.jsand add thefollowing code:"use client";import { useRef } from "react";export default function CreateTicket() { const ticketTitleRef = useRef(null); const ticketDescriptionRef = useRef(null); return ( <article> <h3>Create a new ticket</h3> <form onSubmit={(event) => { event.preventDefault(); alert("TODO: Add a new ticket"); }} > <input ref={ticketTitleRef} placeholder="Add a title" /> <textarea ref={ticketDescriptionRef} placeholder="Add a comment" /> <button type="submit">Create ticket now</button> </form> </article> ); }Other than the fact that it’s a component to add a new ticket, there’s nothing in here you haven’t seen already. We will use the Pico.css Card (<article>) within a form, and then store references of the input fields so that we can easily accessthe value.Read 'Building Production-Grade Web Applications with Supabase' now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!LaravelCheck Env Variables Across All .env Files - The LaravelEnv Keys Checker packagechecks if all keys are available across all environment (.env) files.

Since Web Visual Editor has minimal functionality, the codebase is very small, making future expansions easy. It is designed to reflect changes made in the preview back to the code, so enhancing the editing capabilities within the preview may be beneficial in the future. For example, you can copy, cut, paste and delete elements within preview at this moment.The Copenhagen Book - The Copenhagen Book provides a general guideline on implementing auth in web applications. It is free, open-source, and community-maintained. It may be opinionated or incomplete at times but we hope this fills a certain void in online resources. We recommend using this alongside theOWASP Cheat Sheet Series.Large language models reduce public knowledge sharing on online Q&A platforms - Large language models (LLMs) are a potential substitute for human-generated data and knowledge resources.

To keep pages clean and readable, let’s create a component in a new filenamedapp/Login.js.Reminderapp/Login.jsis not a page but a component! In the Pages Router, every file within thepages/directory was a page. In the App Router, pages are always namedpage.js, and their routed path is defined by the directory they are in. This allows you to create non-page files (such as component files) co-located with the actualpage files.In this component file, we will start by defining theLogincomponent skeleton,like so:export const Login = () => { return ( <form> <article style={{ maxWidth: "420px", margin: "auto" }}> <header>Login</header> <strong>Hello Login!</strong> </article> </form> );};The<article>tag in Pico, as per the documentation, is used for slightly highlighted containers with gracious padding, and that’s what we want here. We also give the card two inline styles to center it and give it a maximum width, such that it looks more like a well-knownlogin screen.NoteEven though<article>might seem odd semantically, it is the best element for such a use case accordingtohttps://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/article.Before adding more elements to the component, we want to make sure it will be shown when visiting the main page. So, open upapp/page.jsand change thePagecomponent so that it only will return theLogincomponentfor now:import { Login } from "./Login";export default function LoginPage() { return <Login />;}Now, when you run the Next.js server, you should see a card with heading text that saysLoginand, below that,Hello Login!.Read 'Building Production-Grade Web Applications with Supabasebook' now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!LaravelThe Inertia.js v2 Beta is Here - The first beta version of Inertia.js v2 wasreleasedthis week.

Rails 8 also brings several SQLite integration upgrades that make it a viable option for production use. This blogpost dive into everything that Rails 8 has to offer! Web Development TutorialAccess logic within a routeFirst, we want to have a look at when access logic is implemented as part of a specific route ofyour app.Imagine that you have a text editor app calledtext.myapp, wherein users can write documents and share those documents to be edited by others. Now, imagine a user who wants to save a document with the456ID. This is done with a request totext.myapp/document/456/save. As an example, the following backend code logic shows how the app could make sure that only the owner or people with shared access can savethe document:// route = /document/[id]/saveif (isLoggedIn()) { canSave = false; userId = getUserIdFromLoginSession(); db = getDbConnection(); document = db .select('author').from('documents') .where({id: documentId}); canSave = isEqual(document.author, userId); if (!canSave) { // check if shared, then also eligible to save canSave = db.exists('shared_docs') .whereEquals({ documentId, userId}) } if (canSave) db.update(content).whereEquals({ documentId }); }So, when data (contentin the code sample) is sent to the route for saving a specific document with a specific ID, the first check works out whether the user is logged in, while the second and third checks work out whether the user is either the owner of the document or if someone has shared this document with that user. In both cases, that user is allowed to update the document inthe database.These logic snippets can make the code unreadable pretty quickly. That’s why abstraction into functions such ascanEditDocument(documentId)is a must so that you only have something like this inthe end:// route = /document/[id]/saveif (isLoggedIn()) { canSave = canEditDocument(documentId); if (canSave) db.update(content).whereEquals({ documentId });}With this, all of the checks would be inside the logic ofcanEditDocument. This makes it cleaner but definitely notless work.Read the 'Django 5 by Example' book now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!AngularLatest updates to effect() in Angular - Angular’s developer preview process enables us to give developers a chance to try out APIs and features before they are promoted to production, and allows us the flexibility to adjust those APIs in response to real-world usage and feedback.

Web Development TutorialAn excerpt from 'Django 5 by Example'By Antonio MeléCreating forms from modelsWe need to build a form to let users comment on blog posts. Remember that Django has two base classes that can be used to create forms:FormandModelForm. We used theFormclass to allow users to share posts by email. Now, we will useModelFormto take advantage of the existingCommentmodel and build a form dynamically for it.Edit theforms.pyfile of yourblogapplication and add the following lines:from .models import Commentclass CommentForm(forms.ModelForm):class Meta:model = Commentfields = ['name', 'email', 'body']To create a form from a model, we just indicate which model to build the form for in theMetaclass of the form. Django will introspect the model and build the corresponding form dynamically.Each model field type has a corresponding default form field type. The attributes of model fields are taken into account for form validation. By default, Django creates a form field for each field contained in the model. However, we can explicitly tell Django which fields to include in the form using thefieldsattribute or define which fields to exclude using theexcludeattribute. In theCommentFormform, we have explicitly included thename,email, andbodyfields. These are the only fields that will be included in the form.Read the 'Django 5 by Example' book now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!LaravelTemPHPest PHP Extension for VSCode - TemPHPest is an extension for Visual Studio Code to improve writing PHP in VS Code.

Web Development TutorialAn excerpt from 'Django 5 by Example'By Antonio MeléCreating forms with DjangoLet’s start by building the form to share posts. Django has a built-in forms framework that allows you to create forms easily. The forms framework makes it simple to define the fields of the form, specify how they have to be displayed, and indicate how they have to validate input data. The Django forms framework offers a flexible way to render forms in HTML and handle data.Django comes with two base classes to build forms:1. Form: This allows you to build standard forms by defining fields and validations.2. ModelForm: This allows you to build forms tied to model instances. It provides all the functionalities of the baseFormclass, but form fields can be explicitly declared, or automatically generated, from model fields. The form can be used to create or edit model instances.First, create aforms.pyfile inside the directory of yourblogapplication and add the following code to it:from django import formsclass EmailPostForm(forms.Form):name = forms.CharField(max_length=25)email = forms.EmailField()to = forms.EmailField()comments = forms.CharField(required=False,widget=forms.Textarea)We have defined our first Django form.

Find it all out here.Understanding Web Storage: LocalStorage, SessionStorage, and Cookies - In modern web development, managing data on the client side has become an essential skill. Developers often rely on localStorage, sessionStorage, and cookies to store data in the user’s browser. While these three mechanisms serve similar purposes, they have distinct differences in terms of capacity, persistence, and use cases. In this blog, we'll explore these differences, with examples, to help you better understand when and how to use each one.Frontend Resources V2 - This collection is packed with a wide range of tools that cover everything from building stunning user interfaces to fine-tuning performance and much more. These resources have been invaluable. Hoping they’ll be just as useful for you.9 open-source gems to become the ultimate developer - For me, AI is everywhere.But sometimes, it's hard to understand what a fun project is and what project you can use for your website. I have curated a list of 9 open-source repositories you can implement into your repository tomorrow!Comparing The Top React Frameworks - When learning React, we all start with the CRA (create-react-app) library. It is a good place to begin the journey of React but using it for building a project today is not a good idea. There are many reasons to switch from traditional CRA to the modern framework of React, which can offer many more features. There are various alternatives based on your requirements such as SSR, performance, etc. In this blog, we are going to investigate some of the top alternatives that you can use instead of CRA.Get Window Size in Pure CSS - We all know that CSS used to be the most challenging part of web development. However, it has become even harder nowadays. You wouldn't believe it, but now CSS can define properties, do the math, and even directly get the window size! This article will show you how to do it.Web Dev ReposCheck this space for new repos, projects and tools each week! This week we bring you a collection of Tailwind CSS tools:Tailwind Grid Generator- Drag and drop Tailwind CSS grid generator.Tailwind Box Shadows Generator- Box Shadows generator.Windframe- Tailwind CSS drag and drop builder to rapidly build and prototype websites.Static Tailwind- The most used Tailwind classes, precompiled, with no build step.Design GUI- AI-powered Chrome extension for managing colors in daisyUI and shadcn/ui.Internet Jibber-JabberRandom curious musings and interesting words about Mobile Dev on the Internet.CSS @property and the New Style - The@propertyat-rule recently gained support across all modern browsers, unlocking the ability to explicitly define a syntax, initial value, and inheritance for CSS custom properties. It seems like forever ago that CSS Houdini and itsCSS Properties and Values APIwere initially introduced. The ensuing demo explores what's possible in the next generation of CSS.Announcing The Kagi Assistant - Kagihas been thoughtfully integrating AI into our search experience, creating a smarter, faster, and more intuitive search.

Inspired byNanoGPT,Tinygrad,Pytorch, andMLX, TinyGPT aims to be as educational as possible, avoiding complex optimizations that might obscure the underlying concepts.The web's clipboard, and how it stores data of different types - If you've been using computers for a while, you probably know that the clipboard can store multiple types of data (images, rich text content, files, and so on). As a software developer, it started frustrating me that I didn't have a good understanding of how the clipboard stores and organizes data of different types. I recently decided to unveil the mystery that is the clipboard and wrote this post using my learnings. We'll focus on the web clipboard and its APIs, though we'll also touch on how it interacts with operating system clipboards.Major book publishers defeat Internet Archive appeal over digital scanning - A U.S. appeals court sided with four major book publishers that accused the nonprofit Internet Archive of illegally scanning copyrighted works and lending them to the public online for free and without permission. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan agreed with Hachette Book Group, HarperCollins Publishers, John Wiley & Sons and Penguin Random House that the archive's "large scale" copying and distribution of entire books did not amount to "fair use." Web Development TutorialAn excerpt from 'Django 5 by Example'By Antonio MeléUsing a class-based view to list postsTo understand how to write class-based views, we will create a new class-based view that is equivalent to thepost_listview. We will create a class that will inherit from the genericListViewview offered by Django.ListViewallows you to list any type of object.Edit theviews.pyfile of theblogapplication and add the following code to it:from django.views.generic import ListView class PostListView(ListView): """ Alternative post list view """ queryset = Post.published.all() context_object_name = 'posts' paginate_by = 3 template_name = 'blog/post/list.html'ThePostListViewview is analogous to thepost_listview we built previously. We have implemented a class-based view that inherits from theListViewclass. We have defined a view with the following attributes:We usequerysetto use a custom QuerySet instead of retrieving all objects. Instead of defining aquerysetattribute, we could have specifiedmodel = Postand Django would have built the genericPost.objects.all()QuerySet for us.We use the context variablepostsfor the query results. The default variable isobject_listif you don’t specify anycontext_object_name.We define the pagination of results withpaginate_by, returning three objects per page.We use a custom template to render the page withtemplate_name. If you don’t set a default template,ListViewwill useblog/post_list.htmlby default.Now, edit theurls.pyfile of theblogapplication, comment the precedingpost_listURL pattern, and add a new URL pattern using thePostListView class.Read the 'Django 5 by Example' book now!What's Happening in Web Development?Your dose of the latest releases, news and happenings in the Web Development industry!AngularThe future is standalone! - Angular v19 will makestandalone: truethe default for components, directives, and pipes.
