According to google, the definition of “lint” is “short, fine fibres which separate from the surface of cloth or yarn during processing.”

Since I had quite some fun redacting my 2017 Reading List, I thought it would be a good idea to write an article about learning JavaScript, something I would have loved to read when starting out, or during various stages of my ongoing learning process.

A few days ago I gave this presentation (in italian) about Atom Editor at the FrontEnd Milano Meetup, it’s now uploaded to YouTube!
Flexbox has been getting lots of attention lately, and rightly so, as it makes it possible to solve problems in unique and responsive ways.
You might want to take into consideration Flexbox-based layouts in case you are building a truly responsive web application and you want to take advantage of cool Flexbox properties like ordering, direction, wrapping, growing, etc.
I’ve recently started falling in love with the Atom editor. So much so, that I’m planning to hold a presentation about this little piece of software during one the upcoming local front end meetups.
