SurviveJS - Webpack book v3.0 (Amazon Release) + Status update
Hi,
I've reached a major milestone with the webpack book as it has reached its 3.0 release. Compared to an earlier version you might have seen, here are the main changes:
- It's lighter but still informative - 302 pages
- It has been written with webpack 5 in mind
- Where possible, I've made the chapters work standalone so you can read it better in a "random access" way
- I've added new content on topics such as module federation while modernizing the book overall
- The new release is available online, at Leanpub, and via Amazon
Although webpack has been mainly hidden by tooling these days, it still feels great to be able to give the book polish it deserves. I hope you'll find it useful in your work as a reference if you have to delve into webpack configuration or wish to have a refresher on web techniques.
To learn more about the book, please read the release notes or skip straight to the book.
My next target with the content is to port it to a course platform and then modernize the remaining two books before planning something else.
Since the last email you've received, the blog has grown a lot. I've run roughly one developer interview per week although I've had to take an occasional pause due to other work. Currently I'm more flexible and having a lot of fun in developing new content.
I hope to have something cool together in the next mail but that might take a while again as these things do take their time. :)

PS. The next React Finland online mini-conference takes place 2nd of December and we'll focus on performance. There are free tickets available as well.
PPS. We launched a new font for developers this year and we call it MonoLisa. It's a bit wider than normal and that has made it something special.
PPPS. As an experiment, I wrote my own state container called Sidewind. It's extremely light but I've found it somewhat useful in my limited experiments so far.
