Highlights from the Microsoft Ignite event

Microsoft organized its 2019 version of the Ignite conference where we found out a lot about the company plans for the near future. The team maintaining the @MSEdgeDev Twitter channel was kind enough to put together highlights for the two days of the event. This way you can the latest updates even if you missed the live session.

The Svelte Handbook

freeCodeCamp and Flavio Copes strike again with yet another handbook. This time it's one for Svelte, one of the up-and-coming frameworks that come to challenge the Angular-React-Vue trio. The book is meant for developers who know nothing about the framework but are looking for an alternative to the current industry landscape.
