About

I started working on this blog for two reasons:

  1. I wanted a place to try applying some of the things I had been learning about the Web and JavaScript in particular
  2. I wanted a place to write down my thoughts on all the things I was learning every day on the job

Tech specs

The core technical aspect of this blog is that it is a responsive web site that acts as an SPA on the frontend while also working in full with JavaScript disabled. The site is currently architected as follows:

  • The frontend, found in the src/app directory is the view layer that gets rendered universally on the server and client
  • The browser entry file, found in the src/browser directory is the file root that webpack will use to compile the JavaScript/CSS/Assets bundle that will finally get delivered to able browsers and handles rendering the view layer on the client
  • The server frontend, found in the src/server/frontend directory handles rendering, caching and serving the view layer on the server (it also handles handing over non-ajax form submissions to the forms api)
  • The server content api found in the src/server/api/content directory handles processing, caching and serving api requests for content stored in the articles github repository
  • The server forms api found in the src/server/api/forms directory handles processing form submissions from the frontend

Credits

This project was initially loosely based on the este project but has deviated significantly since.
