Week 35 - 2019
The weeknote for 8/26 - 9/1.

Tailwind CSS
- Found an interesting CSS framework called Tailwind CSS ( https://tailwindcss.com ). This framework doesn't provide any "component" like Bootstrap or Bulma, but it only provides more low-level classes such as mr-6, text-center, etc. The users of the framework mixes these utility classes to make their own "components". I think that's an interesting approach. It has more than 14K stars in github. There are only a few CSS frameworks which has more than 10K stars. So it feel like it could be a new trend in CSS frameworks.
perl6
- https://github.com/perl6/problem-solving/issues/81
- Found an interesting issue about renaming perl 6 to
CameliaorRaku. I don't use perl 6 that much, but I've been interested in it since its start. I remember it was first impelemented in Haskell, and eventually it produces serveral VMs. Now perl6 ecosystem looks so big that I can't see the whole picture of the project.

Book
denobook 02
🦕 denobook 02 is the 2nd volume of denobook by deno-ja
- Finally I finished the most part of my chapter ☺️ My chapter is for ultimate beginners who start programming without any background knowledge about any sort of programming. I personally don't remember how it is like to start programming in such early stage. My chapter heavily rely on the book of Python by Masahiro Kamata. His book is really good at explaining the basic concept like variables, data types, if structure, for structure, functions etc. I followed the first half of his book in my chapter, and borrowed many ideas about explanation of basic concepts.
- During writing this, I compared many JavaScript and Python books for beginners in book stores. Usually Python books are better at explaining basic concept because Python run by itself without any other tools. So the authors don't need to explain many things when start explaining python programming. On the other hand, JavaScript books are usually full of technical terms from the biginning such as browsers, servers, HTML, CSS, DOM etc. This is natural because JavaScript is (or used to be) browsers' language. So the books of JavaScript need to explain or assume these terms before starting explaining any of JavaScript. Because of this constraint, most (or probably all) of JavaScript books are not actually for beginners.
- However, I thought that the situation was different for Node.js and Deno because they could been seen as a general purpose programming language like Python, Ruby, Go, etc. We could introduce Deno without any knowledge of browsers or servers. I thought it should be possible to introduce Deno as their first language to the beginners without any programming knowledge, and that's my attempt in the first chapter of denobook 02.
MyProject
kt3k/saku
saku is a markdown based task runner.
- https://github.com/kt3k/saku/pull/35
- Migrated to go modules. Go modules is a official module system for golang, which going to be default from the next minor version 1.13. We can use it from go v1.11 with setting GO111MODULE env var to the string 'on'.
Job
SQ-2
- The production model of our robot SQ-2 started working on a building in Otemachi, Tokyo.
Event
Build Battle Saga Frontend
- An interesting event about build techniques of frontend development organized by @euxn23 and @sadnessOjisan. The speakers talked about their techniques, experiences, practices, etc about frontend build tools such as gulp, webpack, etc.
