Recently I started using Vue and I don’t think I ever want to go back

A simple utility to execute a callback when a webfont loads.  Demo

This uses the CSS Font Loading Module when available (currently in Chrome 35+ and Opera 22+). When that isn’t available, it uses a very similar approach to the one used in the TypeKit Web Font Loader (which is currently 7.1KB GZIP).

Basically, it creates an element with a font stack including the web font and a default serif/sans-serif typeface. It then uses a test string and measures the dimensions of the element at a certain interval. When the dimensions are different than the default fallback fonts, the font is considered to have loaded successfully.

If you’d like a full polyfill for the CSS Font Loading Module, follow along with Bram Stein’s Font Loader. I believe the specification has changed since he launched this polyfill, but he’s working on an updated version. 

For the back-end part, we will use ASP.NET Core 2. And for the front-end part — React and Redux. I will use VS Code as a code editor and Ubuntu 18.04 as O.S.

In response to overwhelming user requests, Microsoft has started a project to add support for a React JavaScript component to Visual Studio 2015.  

The most popular programming languages in 2024 (and what that even means)

We aggregated data from nine different rankings to produce the ZDNET Index of Programming Language Popularity. Here's which languages came out on top and what to make of this information.

5 JavaScript Security Best Practices for 2024

Any JavaScript web application needs to have a Content Security Policy (CSP), a browser security standard that dictates what the browser is allowed to load — whether that be a domain, subdomain, or resource. Without a CSP, hackers can exploit cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, potentially resulting in a data breach.

In May 2024, over 65,000 developers responded to our annual survey about coding, the technologies and tools they use and want to learn, AI, and developer experience at work. Check out the results and see what's new for Stack Overflow users.

We are happy to announce ASP.NET documentation and guidance has been migrated to docs.microsoft.com!
