In this article, we’ll take a close look at some of the changes we made on this very site — running on JAMStack with React — to optimize the web performance and improve the Core Web Vitals metrics. With some of the mistakes we’ve made, and some of the unexpected changes that helped boost all the metrics across the board. 

Angular CLI 1.1 is out and here are some notable new features:

• outputs smaller and faster bundles by default,
• now comes with a new welcome screen when creating a new application,
• has better support for serving with a different public URL, and
• now supports fixing generated code according to your linting preferences, e.g. use double-quotes instead of single quotes for strings.

Along with over 50 fixes! 

Here’s a look at a handful of the changes since our last alpha:

• Overhauled spacing utilities to use a numerical tiering (to avoid confusion with grid tiers).
• Continued refactoring efforts to replace markup-specific selectors with classes across several components (including pagination, lists, and more). Still more to do here with additional components.
• Reverted media queries and grid containers from rems to pixels as viewports are not affected by font-size. See #17403 for details. We’ve got a ton of grid work left, too. Feel free to follow along with#18471.
• Reverted .0625rem width borders to 1px for more consistent component borders that avoid zoom and font-size bugs across browsers.
• Renamed .img-responsive to .img-fluid to avoid future confusion on the various responsive image solutions out there.
• Replaced ZeroClipboard with clipboard.js for Flash-independent copy buttons.
• Inputs and buttons now share the same border variable to ensure components are always sized similarly.
• Updated all pseudo-element selectors to use the spec’s preferred double colon (e.g., ::before as opposed to :before).
• Cards now have outline variants and mixins to support extending base classes further.
• Utility classes for floats and text alignment now have responsive ranges. This means we’ve dropped the non-responsive classes to avoid duplication.
• Added support for jQuery 2.
• And hundreds more Sass improvements, bug fixes, documentation updates, and more. 

Those of you who worked with ASP.NET web forms will recollect that certain server controls such as DropDownList have a property called AutoPostBack. This property when set to true automatically submits the form to the server whenever the selection changes and raises some server side event. In modern web development people prefer to use Ajax over AutoPostBack but at times AutoPostBack is what you might need. To that end this article shows how AutoPostBack can be implemented in ASP.NET Core applications.
