If you're like me, you probably appreciate the simplicity of using a static site generator for your blog or website. Today, I want to share the beauty of Lume, a static site generator built for Deno.

If you're into tech, coding, or writing, you probably enjoy sharing your thoughts and ideas. Guest blogging is a fantastic way to reach a broader audience. In this post, I'll go through the benefits of guest blogging and why static site generators like Lume can make your life easier.

In this step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to create a simple but cool webpage that shows mouse pointers of all its visitors. From setting up a Deno server to optional perks like keeping your app alive with Pup and serving it securely through Nginx.

Welcome to the third installment of our Detris series, where we're building a web-based Tetris game using Deno. Having set up our project and understood its core files, it's time to turn our attention to the frontend. In this article, we'll explore the assets folder to understand how our game will look and feel. We'll delve into the index.html file and the accompanying CSS to give our game its visual appeal. Furthermore, we'll discuss how the frontend and backend communicate to create a seamless gaming experience. By the end of this article, you'll have a good grasp of frontend development and be well on your way to creating an engaging user interface for your Tetris game.

Welcome to the second part of our series on building Detris, a web-based Tetris game using Deno. In this article, we'll take you through the initial steps of setting up your project environment. We'll cover the importance of the deps.ts and main.ts files, setting the foundation for the game development that lies ahead. By the end of this article, you'll have a base for the project and be ready to dive into the exciting world of frontend development!

Welcome to the grand finale of our Detris series, where we've been guiding you through the creation of a full-featured Tetris game using Deno.

Welcome back to part six of our Detris series! After getting our hands dirty with multiplayer, let's tackle another cool feature: AI opponents. This article will walk you through the TypeScript code behind our Tetris AI. We'll look at how the AI decides to move and rotate blocks, and how to plug this AI into your game. Let's dive in!

Welcome to part five of our Detris series. In this article, we dive into multiplayer action, where we deal with multiple players, and real-time updates. Buckle up!

Welcome to the first part of our journey in building Detris, a web-based Tetris game using Deno. In this article, we'll introduce you to the classic game of Tetris and explain why I chose Deno as our runtime. We'll also give you a sneak peek into the special features of Detris, like single-player mode, multiplayer functionality, and even AI opponents. Get ready to dive deep into the world of Tetris, powered by modern web technologies!

If you're into JavaScript or TypeScript, you've probably heard about Deno. It's an exciting new runtime that's often described as a more secure and simpler alternative to Node.js. In this blog post, we'll go over what makes Deno awesome and how to get started.

Now that we've got our frontend ready, it's time to dive into the game mechanics. In this article, we'll focus on implementing the main loop and single-player mode. We'll walk you through the server-side calculations that make the game tick. You'll learn how the game board updates, how rows are cleared, and how the game state evolves. By the end of this article, you'll have a functional single-player mode and a deeper understanding of the server-side logic that powers it. Let's get those blocks falling!

Choosing a JavaScript runtime for your project? Then you've probably heard of Deno, Bun, and Node.js. They are all good, but each has its own set of features and trade-offs. This guide will break them down by features, ease of use, security, and other considerations.

Following our recent deep dive into the feature sets of JavaScript runtimes, I decided to put them to the test in terms of raw performance. I created a new benchmarking tool called jsrbench to provide a clearer picture of the performance of Deno, Bun, and Node.js under equivalent conditions. I also use another of my tools called primer to compare performance of prime number calculation using different approaches.

Planning to host your Deno service or server on your own but unsure about how to launch it at system boot and ensure its uptime? This guide is here to help. Dive into Docker and Pup as robust options for managing Deno apps at system boot, guaranteeing their continuous operation, resilience, and monitoring.

Meet Lumocs, a documentation generator powered by JavaScript through Deno and Lume. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to set it up, create your first documentation page, and deploy your site.

If you want a quick showcase, check out the Lumocs Documentation, which is generated by Lumocs itself.

A while ago, I wrote a post called How to Create a Dual-Mode Cross-Runtime JavaScript Package: How to Create a Dual-Mode Cross-Runtime JavaScript Package, and while possible - it sure isn't simple. There has to be a better way, and the creators behind jsr.io seem to agree.
