Kolade Dev Digest #10

Hello there 👋🏽

Welcome to the tenth issue of the Kolade Dev Digest newsletter.

The last week was a restful one for me, as I had to work partially due to a few family issues I faced. Thank God all is well with my family again, and thank you, yes you 🫵🏾, for being a subscriber of the Kolade Dev Digest newsletter.

The ruckus of the last week did not stop me from writing an article on a JavaScript concept you would like. I also gave my blog single post page a new look. You should check it out.

This week, I’ll get into writing some Python articles for you.

Latest Posts From My Blog

Yesterday, I published an article on how to format currencies in JavaScript. This is a topic that is not regularly talked about in the JavaScript world, so you should check it out.

Here are other articles I recently published:

• How to Use The JavaScript Intersection Observer API

Tech Tool of the Week

Laravel is a powerful and elegant PHP framework for web applications. It’s minimalistic yet packed with features that make building complex applications easy.

If you're still writing plain PHP code for routing, database queries, and authentication, it's time to switch to Laravel and experience faster, cleaner development.
