This article aims to explore and compare the different tools available for JavaScript bundling.

This is the second part of this series. If you haven’t read the first part about module types yet, you may want to do so.

When working on a project with more than a few lines of JavaScript, you will want to split up the code into multiple files to make the structure easier to read and understand. This article explores the different module types that exist for JavaScript.

This article describes how to use CSS to make text look like neon signs. You can see the result in my CodePen showcasing this effect.

The core of this technique is using the CSS property text-shadow with multiple layers and a saturated color. The text-shadow is not used for an actual shadow, but the blurred and colorful glow effect around the text.
Each line in the value of the property represents one of the radii of the glow (for example, the first part of the value creates a “shadow” with a 10px radius). We want the inner shadows to be a brighter version of the color or even white, while the outer ones have a less bright version of the color.

The Web Audio API is a JavaScript API that allows for complex audio operations in JavaScript, such as creating oscillators or applying audio effects. All modern browsers support it.

This article shows how the Web Audio API can be used to create an oscillator that produces a simple sound. You can try the result on CodePen.
