[Js-Craft #36] First steps with TensorflowJs and Machine Learning, React Portals and the CSS accent-color

Good morning, friend! It's Daniel here, the guy who maintains the Js-Craft website! Two weeks had passed and it's time for a new edition of the newsletter.

The overall productivity of these 2 weeks was quite good and managed to publish 12 new articles on the site.

But most importantly, I've started to understand how machine learning works. Coming from the classic background of a web developer I really had a hard time understanding how machine learning and AI work, compared with the coding approach of Javascript programming. Or, in general, the classic if-then-else programming.

Hopefully, the next edition of this newsletter will come with a full tutorial on how to build a Javascript neuronal network from scratch. I am pretty excited about this one.

Please write me if you know of any good resources for explaining machine learning, especially from a Javascript point of view.

Below is the full list of articles I've published.

Articles on Machine Learning and TensorflowJs:

• Machine Learning vs Classic Programming
• TensorflowJs extract model.predict() result in a Javascript variable
• First machine learning app with TensorflowJs and Javascript – house price prediction
• A brief explanation of Machine Learning for Javascript developers

ReactJs articles:

• React Portals and Event delegation
• A use case example for React Portals
• Using React Context in NextJs 13
• Adding a key prop to a Fragment in React

CSS articles:

• The difference between : vs :: in CSS, or pseudo-classes vs pseudo-elements

🌴 Some non-coding things that I've enjoyed lately

On the fun side of things, and given that the temperature outside is freezing, I have been watching quite a lot of movies lately.

The biggest surprise was The Irishman. To my shame, I did not see it until now. But boy, it's so so so good! The classic Scorsese style with great acting and a perfect soundtrack. You can find it on Netflix.

Well, that's it, folks! See you in 2 weeks. Be smart, be kind, and keep coding!
