Show HN: A Drip of JavaScript
Over the past couple of years, I've been very impressed by Kale Davis's Hacker Newsletter and Peter Cooper's entire newsletter empire.
They're clearly meeting people's need to stay caught up on industry news without spending their entire lives watching HN and Twitter.
Their success has inspired me to try something similar. So I've just begun publishing a JS newsletter called "A Drip of JavaScript."
Rather than focus on the latest JS news (which JavaScript Weekly already does rather well), each issue is just a short article about some aspect of programming in JavaScript.
The newsletter is aimed at intermediate JS developers, or beginners at JS who already know another language.
Some of you might be wondering why I didn't just start a blog. I've found that there is something terribly compelling about having something just show up in your inbox without having to go looking for it. And I'm hoping that this will end up helping developers who want to improve their skills but don't have a lot of time on their hands.
If you have any feedback or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks!

- czottmann 14y agoGood idea. Subscribed!
- ZiadHilal 14y agoIn issue 1, in the third code snippet within the for loop. Shouldn't this code: finalParams[key] = defaultParams[key]; be written as finalParams[key] = paramObject[key];
- joshuacc 14y agoI think you may be right. :-)
- AlexOrtiz201 14y agoYou should consider making a section with all the older emails already sent.
- joshuacc 14y agoI'm planning to do something like that in the near future.
- nashequilibrium 14y agoI enjoyed reading the two articles, very quick and two the point. As a python programmer learning javascript , I like these little bits of info, hopefully we can get the links to the previous drips. Thanks
