Learn the basics of GitHub Copilot - an AI-powered tool for writing code faster. It is built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 model and uses training data from public places like StackOverflow to suggest and write code automatically.  

In this post I’ll quickly explain the minimum you need to know in order to publish an Angular component to npm. By the end of the post you’ll know how your module to: 

• Be platform independent (i.e. run in Web Workers, Universal).
  
• Should be bundled and distributed.
  
• Work with the Angular’s Ahead-of-Time compiler.
  
• Play well with TypeScript and allow autocompletion and compile-time type checking. 
  

We decided to use Qt for our next Geospatial Intelligence Desktop App, but the .NET Core performance was close to Qt and both easily outperformed the JavaFX prototype. So, we are going to use .NET Core for our Geospatial Intelligence Services backend. 

This is a guide that everyone can use to learn about the practice of front-end development. It broadly outlines and discusses the practice of front-end engineering: how to learn it and what tools are used when practicing it in 2019. 

Here’s a quick list of what’s new in TypeScript 4.8!

Improved Intersection Reduction, Union Compatibility, and Narrowing
Improved Inference for infer Types in Template String Types
--build, --watch, and --incremental Performance Improvements
Errors When Comparing Object and Array Literals
Improved Inference from Binding Patterns
File-Watching Fixes (Especially Across git checkouts)
Find-All-References Performance Improvements
Exclude Specific Files from Auto-Imports
Correctness Fixes and Breaking Changes
