Javascript is so widely adopted that most developers can't avoid it entirely during the course of their careers. Sooner or later, you need to face JS, and when you do, you need to be ready with practical and fundamental concepts of the Javascript programming language.

So today, I want to share 7 amazing GitHub projects that will help you become a better Javascript developer. These GitHub projects are quite popular and can be a go-to resource for anyone looking to learn, and let's face it - Devs are always learning.🤓

SigNoz / signoz

SigNoz helps developers monitor their applications & troubleshoot problems, an open-source alternative to DataDog, NewRelic, etc. 🔥 🖥

Monitor your applications and troubleshoot problems in your deployed applications, an open-source alternative to DataDog, New Relic, etc.

👉 You can find the root cause of the problem by going to the exact traces which are causing the problem and see detailed flamegraphs of individual request traces.

👇 Features:

Application overview metrics like RPS, 50th/90th/99th Percentile latencies, and Error Rate
Slowest endpoints in your application
See exact request trace to figure out issues in downstream services, slow DB queries, call to 3rd party services like payment gateways, etc
Filter traces by service name, operation, latency, error, tags/annotations.
Aggregate metrics on filtered traces. Eg, you can get error…

5. Front End interview handbook

⭐ Github stars: 29.5k

This repo promises to make you go from zero to front-end interview hero even if you don't have prior interview experience. And, from the number of stargazers it has, it looks like it delivers on that promise. It has answers to every question in the very famous question bank Front-end Job Interview Questions.

Front End Interview Handbook

Read on the website

What is this?

Unlike typical software engineer job interviews, front-end job interviews have less emphasis on algorithms and have more questions on intricate knowledge and expertise about the domain — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, just to name a few areas.

While there are some existing resources to help front end developers in preparing for interviews, they aren't as abundant as materials for a software engineer interview. Among the existing resources, probably the most helpful question bank would be Front-end Developer Interview Questions. Unfortunately, I couldn't find many complete and satisfactory answers to these questions online, hence here is my attempt at answering them. Being an open source repository, the project can live on with the support of the community as the state of web evolves.
