Frontend Dogma

2000s + 2010s = 10,000

by @frontenddogma@mas.to on , tagged , (toot this?)

Frontend Dogma just added archives for the 2000s and 2010s, and with that hit the 10,000 posts mark (at more than 700 topics)…! 🍾

Including the 2000s and 2010s had been the goal soon after providing the 1990s archives. On the one hand, to close that two-decade gap between the 90s and the year 2020, the year that Frontend Dogma originally started covering. On the other hand, not to discard material that was also important, useful, and interesting to frontend developers.

(Why is this exciting? Because by linking from a single website as well as by tagging, the archives unlock access to a vast amount of information. A little plug, it’s similar to Frontend Dogma’s Web Development Glossary: Sure, you can look for terms whenever you want—but there’s no way to browse the field and and discover new terms if it wasn’t for a concise glossary.)

Now, what would be interesting from the newly covered time? Let’s have a look at select topics and authors:

Topics

For example, here’s a choice of topics particularly common in the 2000s and/or 2010s:

Authors

Here’s a small selection of authors whose 2000s/2010s work is being covered and honored in the archives:

(Many more authors and publishers are being covered—and even more are to be covered. Featuring authors and publishers is generally only limited by the time and resources available to add them.)

—Now, this is one milestone for Frontend Dogma, and there are other sites that (so far!) link to or even host more content (like SitePoint, with more than 15,000 articles). But it’s only one milestone, on the impossible quest to meaningfully map all of frontend development, over all the time.

Follow and support the journey: Enjoy exploring the 2000s and 2010s archives, send suggestions on glaring omissions (Frontend Dogma is continuously updated), and follow Frontend Dogma by feed, on Mastodon, on Bluesky, on Twitter/X, or on other platforms hopefully soon to be fed. Cheers!
