9 Minimal Frameworks for Front-End JavaScript Development Imagine for a second the fact that, five years ago, we already had frameworks like jQuery to play with, and while not as functional and feature rich as today – it was already possible to configure and play with the web in hardly imaginable ways.

The Great Baikal Trail was created to develop system of environmental trails around Lake Baikal. The projects are based on work done by volunteers from all over the world; Russia, Australia, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, United States, Canada, Mongolia, and many more places. To show the amount of work done in different areas of the lake I used: number of volunteers involved,man-days (=number of volunteers*number of projects' days). I encourage you to interact with my visualization and take part in the Baikal's projects.
Web Nerd Terminology (Explained) As happens with any weird niche societal group, us web nerds have developed some language of our own.
