Mechanical engineer who dabbles with Vanilla Javscript and web development as a hobbby. I don't use any libraries or frameworks as they take the fun out creating your own solutions.

Just one question. Why not write all example code in Javascript? It is not only the number one web development language, it has become the world's most popular language. I think if you did it would attract far more readers because everyone who does any kind of web development is probably familiar with it.
As much as I agree with this and as much as it would be way easier for me*, articles of this series are loosely coupled with the language I am using for examples.
Plus, we deal with an industry changing on a daily basis and sticking with the fad of the day is not a wise choice in general. Also, I feel that playing with examples outside your comfort zone is the best way to actually understand the abstract ideas behind the topic, which ultimately are the takeaway of these articles. I hope no one really will copy paste code of those examples :D
*: as my colleagues say, I speak JavaScript more fluently than Italian :D

Love this series. I will continue to return to it as you write more articles.
Thanks for the support (:

It's not a fad.
I pay my bills mostly because of it. I hope it's not :D
