[The Best of the Rest in August 2022](#five) ## LastPass Hacked The popular password manager LastPass became a victim of a security threat. The intruders got access to the server via an exposed developer account. They managed to access and steal source code along with proprietary technical information. No other information became accessible to the intruders. As a result, 33 million users’ data remain safe and users are not required to change their passwords. Currently, they have ongoing investigations to reduce further attacks and strengthen the environment. ## Source [Info Security](https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/lastpass-hackers-stole-source-code/) ## Calling All Students Stack Overflow is launching a student ambassador program. This allows students to engage, learn and have input on the future development of its platform. Teaming up with Major League Hacking (MLH) as part of this program. You will have to gather a team together to compete in challenges and hackathons over the next 3 months. As an ambassador, you may get featured on the Stack Overflow blog or podcast. The site attracts over a million developer views each month. ## Coding Resources If you are familiar with JavaScript and want to learn more about how to build with a JS framework.

There are many reasons [why developers should have their own blog](https://dev.to/wulfi/why-you-must-start-blogging-as-a-developer-1h3l). Such as bringing in another source of income as well as you get the opportunity to help others. You can build your own projects and share your experiences. With this, you can gather feedback which can also help you see things from a different perspective. Sharing this information can lead to gaining a good reputation. If you are looking for new project ideas for your coding adventure. As a learner at the start, you need to build simple projects, such as a calculator, [todo app](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2021/yet-another-simple-javascript-to-do-list) or a [guessing game](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2021/easy-javascript-guessing-game-part-2). As you learn more the projects need to become a little more challenging. If you are stuck for ideas or need something a little more challenging check out this [2 part series](https://dev.to/wadecodez/5-fresh-project-ideas-for-web-developers-15l2) on fresh project ideas for developers. ## Web Tool Of The Month You could argue that the tool of the month is not a tool, but you can build with it. [System.css](https://sakofchit.github.io/system.css/) is a CSS library for building interfaces that resemble the Apple Mac OS from 1984-1991. Currently, it has components such as buttons, checkboxes, inputs, and select menus. You can also build window dialogs, content boxes and title bars. The code is not tied to a framework, so you can use it with any front-end framework or with vanilla JavaScript. It’s currently in beta and there are more features planned for future releases. If you like a bit of retro give it a whirl in your next project. ## The Best of the Rest in August 2022 - [Supabase and Svelte Quickstart Guide](https://dzone.com/articles/supabase-and-svelte-quickstart-guide) - [Read The F\*\*\*\*\*\* Manual!](https://dev.to/themfon/read-the-f-manual-571o) - [5 Linux Utilities to Improve Your Programming Workflow in 2022](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/5-linux-utilities-for-better-programming-workflow/) - [7 Software Development Methodologies](https://dev.to/makendrang/7-software-development-methodologies-5fc5) - [Awesome GitHub Repository for Web Developer – Part 1](https://dev.to/surajondev/awesome-github-repository-for-web-developer-part-1-3a67) ### Share [X](https://x.com/intent/tweet?text=Hot%20New%20Web%20Dev%20%20-%20%20August%202022&url=https%3A%2F%2Fworldoweb.co.uk%2F2022%2Fhot-new-web-dev-august-2022&via=worldoweb "Share on X") [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fworldoweb.co.uk%2F2022%2Fhot-new-web-dev-august-2022 "Share on Facebook") [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fworldoweb.co.uk%2F2022%2Fhot-new-web-dev-august-2022&title=Hot%20New%20Web%20Dev%20%20-%20%20August%202022 "Share on Reddit") [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fworldoweb.co.uk%2F2022%2Fhot-new-web-dev-august-2022 "Share on LinkedIn") [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/intent/compose?text=Hot%20New%20Web%20Dev%20%20-%20%20August%202022%20https%3A%2F%2Fworldoweb.co.uk%2F2022%2Fhot-new-web-dev-august-2022 "Share on Bluesky") [Email](mailto:?subject=Hot%20New%20Web%20Dev%20%20-%20%20August%202022&body=https%3A%2F%2Fworldoweb.co.uk%2F2022%2Fhot-new-web-dev-august-2022 "Share via email") #### Tags [ Apps](https://worldoweb.co.uk/tag/tag:Apps) [ Resources](https://worldoweb.co.uk/tag/tag:Resources) [ JavaScript](https://worldoweb.co.uk/tag/tag:JavaScript) [ Magazine](https://worldoweb.co.uk/tag/tag:Magazine) ##### Next [ ← Clever Programmer Lawsuit - 3 Month Bootcamp ](https://worldoweb.co.uk/2022/clever-programmer-lawsuit-3-month-bootcamp) OR ##### Previous [ Are you looking for a Gaming Laptop? → ](https://worldoweb.co.uk/2022/are-you-looking-for-a-gaming-laptop) --- ## Navigation - Previous: [Clever Programmer Lawsuit - 3 Month Bootcamp](https://worldoweb.co.uk/2022/clever-programmer-lawsuit-3-month-bootcamp.md) - Next: [Are you looking for a Gaming Laptop?](https://worldoweb.co.uk/2022/are-you-looking-for-a-gaming-laptop.md)
