This week has been about low-code in Node.js, Julia and Bayesian statistics, generative art with SVG and Prolog.
# Amplication
A development tool to develop low-code Node.js applications. The generated server exposes a GraphQL API and the generated client uses React with Apollo.
The tool is in alpha but looking promising already.
# Data Science in Julia for Hackers
A book with a gentle introduction to how to use Julia on Bayesian statistics, forecasting, machine learning, etc.
# Using Google Sheets as a simple database with Papa Parse
A quick tutorial on using Google Sheets as a CSV data source. This tutorial uses JavaScript and Vue but it's easily translatable to any other technical stack.
# A Generative SVG Starter Kit
A tutorial on generative art using SVG.js. A great step by step to get started on computer-based generative art.
# Why I Don't Like Tailwind CSS
An article with an in-depth analysis on why Tailwind CSS is not delivering what promises and actually makes it worse.
# Prolog Under the Hood
An article describing how Prolog works so you gain the right intuitions. Hint: It's not about logic programming but unification and backtracking.
