A really interesting piece about how the proposed/prototyped if() functionality could work in a theme context.

A great walkthrough of creating your own web server with Node JS. It’s surprisingly more simple than I anticipated.

Nodding so much, I’ve got neck-ache. But that’s no surprise based on how my CSS course is heavily focussed on communication skills.

P.S. this is a good demo.
