forloop Wednesday

Hello amigo!
I hope you've had a good day.

If you're Nigerian, happy democracy day to you! [We won't be having another holiday in a while, I hope you made the most of it.]


+ Yesterday, Java's fraternal twin, Scala, released version 2.13.0. Some features that come with the new version include a 5 -10% faster compiler, improvements to language with literal types and partial unification, and updates to the standard library with
Future.

+ Not all websites are built equal; some are more responsive than others, but you know what else can and should be responsive? It's images. If you'd like to create responsive images fast, you should try Responsive Breakpoints.  It determines optimal breakpoints, generates
<img srcset> code, and creates a zip file of responsive images. Try it out now!


+ If you're working on a Laravel project, here's a simple way to set up SEO

+ If you just started coding, here's a super cool guide to GitHub. [Share with a friend who's a beginner, will you?]

+ Working with the Nuxt.Js framework and want to be nimble? Here's a cheat sheet created by @christo_kade.

+ Are you a CTO of a SaaS company? Take a look at this security checklist that helps you ensure that your code, infrastructure, users, and company are protected.

+ If you're in Accra, join DevCongress at a meetup this Saturday (15th of June) to discuss software development and work productivity. Limited seats available, RSVP here.
