About 10 months ago I switched from Ghost blog to Hexo. I decided Hexo because it would be generating static site, which is great for SEO. It can be hosted on Github pages, which saves some £££. Then there is the most important reason: so I don't have to spend energy and time on maintaining the blog server and constantly migrating to newer Ghost versions.

We are always using JavaScript events when developing web application, it is what makes it interactive at the end of the day. In this blog, I'll go over what it is and the different ways to intercepted a JavaScript event.

After using Ghost blog for over a year, I decided to switch to Hexo. Here's a high level comparison framework the two very different blog framework.

Scrum development is great, it allows iterative development and much faster feedback loops. The concept is nothing new to a lot of people, and the adoption rate has been increasing.

The most difficult choice to make when creating a simple web application is not choosing the right framework or colour scheme (for any backend devs out there). Instead, the struggle comes from deciding if a backend is required or necessary. A lot of the time, it is hard to justify setting up a backend service for a simple web application.
