Blog - Frontend

We often hide images using CSS with "display: none", but this doesn't actually prevent the browser from downloading these images. Using the HTML Picture element, we can serve different versions of an image depending on media queries. We can even use a data-img to prevent images from being downloaded at all and optimize our website speed.

A while back I started experimenting with the up and coming javascript library VueJS for an internal admin dashboard. I started learning about VueJS at Laracasts where they have a great mostly free series about VueJS. I was a little skeptical about yet another JavaScript framework/library to solve our modern day SPA needs. Though VueJS felt like a breath of fresh air. It is both refreshingly new, yet still very familiar (to AngularJS or MVVM in .NET.)
