Integrate Tailwind and Next.js today
In this article, I want to tell you why Tailwind CSS and Next.js form a great combination.
Some people hate writing CSS, while others love to write it. I’m one of the latter, but using a tool that helps me create a website a lot faster and brings stability into my work will always make me excited.
On my blog, I’ve used Tailwind CSS before — and I’ve been convinced to use it in more of my web development projects. If you don’t know Next.js, I would recommend reading my previous article.

Building Websites in 2010
When I started with front-end development, I used only HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since the back-end developers in my team needed to connect it to the CMS at the time, I was building it into PHP files.
I didn’t use any framework like Angular or React. It was just HTML, CSS, and a bit of jQuery. Also, there was no CSS pre-processor that could help me. Well, they existed, but I didn’t know that.

If you work in a Scrum team, you are familiar with a retrospective. For the people who aren’t, let me explain it in short.
In the Agile framework Scrum, we have a couple of events. One of them is the retrospective during which we watch back our sprint. A sprint can be a period of a few weeks (in my team, it’s two weeks). In those weeks, we commit ourselves to a set of user stories. Those user stories define what we have to build.

During the retrospective, we check how we performed as a team. Did we do our work well? Did we deliver our work on time? …

1. Start with the theory first!
When you think about learning JavaScript you propably know what you can build with it. Diving into the cool stuff and complicated stuff sounds nice but can make you feel like drowning!
I started with jQuery in early 2009, but it wasn’t the best idea. I got some things working and that felt good! …
Want to write more tutorials but you aren’t sure where to start? Start here
I have written this after writing programming tutorials for eight years online. In that time I learned so much — still do — but wanted to share it with a lot more people. I hope this will bring you more practical information so you can start to create cool programming content.
Last year I tried so much. I started writing after I’d worked for two years as a developer. It felt good to share my knowledge! Years later I tried video and audio. But I felt that was not my thing. …
Code readability is a feature of your application (even if your users don’t see it)

WSL2 is so powerful to make the switch from Mac a breeze.
I’m a fan of Apple products for a long time! I love the ecosystem, the way everything works together without any problems.
But I’ve seen that the Microsoft of the current time is working hard to embrace opensource. They don’t discriminate Linux or mac systems with their software and tooling.
I leaped faith and switch from a Macbook Pro to a Windows 10 machine. The reason I did this was because of work. I could choose a Macbook Pro again, but with the current Windows laptops on the market, you’ll get a lot more bang for your buck.
What pulled me over the line? Windows Subsystem for…
I’ve seen a lot of job applications from junior developers. Most of the applications are made with the best intentions but don’t include a few important things.
In this post, I want to share with you 3 things you should prepare before you apply for a (junior) developer job.
With these 3 tips, companies will notice your preparation and will be more willing to invite you for an interview.
1. Prepare Code Examples
A developer writes code, right? Yeah duh!! Well before you get hired by a company, that company wants to see your capabilities off-course.
Most of the time they like it when you include your Github profile, portfolio, or blog. …
Isolated, Shallow, Integrated, and End to end testing. What is it and when do you use it?
In Angular, we have a lot of different types of testing. I can imagine that you have many questions when you see them. I had that question so I went into a deep dive to make it all clear. At the end of this post, I hope this all makes sense for you as well.
Test tooling for Angular
In Angular, we use a few different tools to set up automated testing.
If you have created the Angular project with the CLI and didn’t say it should ignore the testing then the testing capabilities of the CLI are set up for you.
By default, the Angular CLI sets Jasmin as our testing framework and Karma as our test runner. But if you want to make use of Jest or another testing framework, you are free to do so. …
