BigInt

Hi everyone, and welcome to another exciting edition of Boring JavaScript! Today, I take on the BigInt primitive data type. How big is it? Well, you can create numbers that goes past the Decillion count (that’s 1 with 36 zeros) – and more. Great for counting the number of atoms in the universe. But watch out! Don’t mix and match with ‘normal’ numbers or you’ll break the fabric of time and space. Check out the video and see what the fuss is all about.

Array.at()

Hi everyone, and welcome to another sleep-inducing adventure in Boring JavaScript! Today, we take a look at the JSON object, and it’s two methods, stringify() and parse(). If you need to transfer data from one application to another, either on the computer or over a wire, then JSON is what you need. Throw away those sleeping pills and dive into our latest video.

Array.copyWithin()

Hi everyone, and welcome to another exciting edition of Boring JavaScript! Today, we take a look at the ‘copyWithin()’ method on Arrays. I’ll tell you exactly how to use it and attempt to tell you why to use it. But … frankly I can’t find a good use for it. If you know of one, watch the video and let me know in the comments. Maybe we’ll find a use for it together.

Increment, Decrement Operators

Bitwise Operators

Hi everyone, and welcome to another exciting edition of Boring JavaScript! Today, we take a look at Bitwise operators. It’s those operators that take one 32-bit number, compare it to another 32-bit number, and produce a result if you wish to AND, OR, or XOR the comparison. Real easy to use, real easy to understand – if you watch the video. Sit back, relax, and get your bit-twiddling game on.

TextDecoder, TextEncoder

Hi everyone, and welcome to another exciting edition of Boring JavaScript! Today, tackle the TextDecoder and TextEncoder classes – two classes important if you need to work with different character encodings, such as UTF-8. With them, not only can you get all the cool Unicode characters, but you’re guaranteed to have them in the standardized UTF-8 format. Sit back, relax, and learn how to work with Unicode/UTF-8 character sets.

String.fromCharCode(), String.fromCodePoint()

Hi everyone, and welcome to another exciting edition of Boring JavaScript! Today, we take a look at String.fromCharCode() and String.fromCodePoint() – two ways of taking a series of numeric arguments that represents character codes and convert them into a string. It’s a great way to output all those wonderful emoticons in your browser session. Take a look and see how easy it is to use them!

SpeechSynthesisUtterance

Hi everyone, and welcome to another exciting edition of Boring JavaScript! Today, we cover the SpeechSynthesisUtterance. We all know you can make your browser ‘talk’ by using speechSynthesis, but with SpeechSynthesisUtterance, you can change pitches, voices, volume, and all kinds of fun things. You can put on a real play with it! Draw up your favorite mug of hot drink, relax, and REALLY learn how to make your browser talk.
