This week's issue leads off with 'Upgrading Frontend Dependencies with Confidence' by Sebastien Lorber: "Tests often provide a way to see if the logic in our apps isn’t working the way we expect, but what about if a frontend component is rendering incorrectly?

We love working with our client Lori Olson, founder of the WNDX School and the publisher of the DragonRuby Dispatch email newsletter. She gives us great latitude to help express her thoughts in unique and innovative ways. Read now with link below.

At this time of year it's really hot in Lori's hometown of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada so we ran a 'dogs days of summer' themed issue. It has lots of great technical content targeted at DragonRuby, RubyMotion developers primarily but all mobile app developers will find interesting.

Of course, as the dog days issue 🐶 we had a great excuse to bookend all that techy stuff with a great photo and a great quote from dog lover and advocate Jessica Gercke taken from the 2013 NPR article entitled 'Surfing Dogs: An Instant Conversation' by Linton Weeks.

For over three years and 161 issues we have been contributing to 'React Status', the premier newsletter for the React development community from Cooperpress together with Frontend Masters. Check out the latest issue by clicking the link below where you will also have the opportunity to subscribe.

Issue No. 350 kicks off with a great article from the Vercel blog: if you’ve struggled to get your head around the ideas involved with RSCs, Alice Moore's 'Understanding React Server Components' is a good, high-level explanation of the fundamentals that explains what problems they solve, why you might use them and how Next.js makes them easier to work with.

In the same issue Lydia Hallie tests your web development knowledge with 30 questions on a wide range of front-end development concepts. How many can you get right? There's also 'Everything Mux Learnt Migrating 50K LOC to Server Components' by Darius Cepulis. All that and a whole host of additional React-related content. We're proud that we're able to contribute to this great resource for React developers around the globe. 🌍

"I would have thought a well-established publishing platform like Medium would be able to tell me something about my audience. However, beyond some broad and vague generalisations, Medium can't tell me much of anything—at least anything they are willing to share—about precisely how many distinct human beings have read any, some or all of what I have written ..."
