Designing Learn JavaScript’s course portal (Part 3)
This is the third article in the Learn JavaScript design series. Today, I’ll talk about how I built the Account and Component Page.

Two interesting JavaScript books
I deleted many resources I found useful because I restricted myself to sharing only blog posts here.
I want to change things up by sharing things I found helpful. I’ll send them once a month. Let me know if you enjoy this new format, or if you have any feedback!
Without further ado, let’s jump in.
Designing Learn JavaScript’s course portal (Part 2)
This is the second article where I explain how I designed Learn JavaScript’s course portal.
Installing MongoDB on Mac (Catalina and non-Catalina)
I had to reconfigure my Macbook after sending it for repairs. During the reconfiguration period, I noticed the instructions I linked to in “Setting up a local MongoDB connection” were outdated.
Here’s an updated version on how to install MongoDB on a Mac.
Designing Learn JavaScript’s course portal
Learn JavaScript is my flagship JavaScript course. It helps people go from knowing nothing about JavaScript to becoming a professional JavaScript developer.
Today, I want to share with you how I designed Learn JavaScript’s course portal.
Building a login system with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
I built a login system with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript when I made Learn JavaScript’s student portal. I’d like to share this system with you since it seems to work well.
Getting keyboard-focusable elements
If you create JavaScript widgets, one of the key parts to accessibility is managing focus.
To manage focus, you need to find keyboard-focusable elements.
Multi-line gradient links
When I saw the CSS Tricks redesign, I was hooked. I loved the links with gradients. I told myself I’m going to use gradient links for my next project.
That’s what I did for Learn JavaScript’s course portal. The links look like this:

Year-end review: 2019
2019 has ended. Once again, I want to conduct my year-end review in public. This time, in a lot more depth and rawness compared to the previous years.
Mongoose 101: Population
MongoDB documents have a size limit of 16MB. This means you can use subdocuments (or embedded documents) if they are small in number.
For example, Street Fighter characters have a limited number of moves. Ryu only has 4 special moves. In this case, it’s okay to use embed moves directly into Ryu’s character document.
But if you have data that can contain an unlimited number of subdocuments, you need to design your database differently.
One way is to create two separate models and combine them with populate.
