RSVP team members made a great video last November but looks like it never got publicly released. I will check on this on Monday.

In the meantime, here's a more recent paper: https://robotics.jpl.nasa.gov/media/documents/IEEE_AERO_2023... screenshots in there are focused on the newer "add-on" tools to RSVP -- not enough Hyperdrive for my taste!

Svelte should also be considered before React/Vue/Angular, because it's a generation ahead of all of them -- in many ways. The recommendations for React in here are no bueno unless you're just looking for the framework with the most job postings.

Glad to see this. I used Preact and htm to build a small, events-flying-everywhere app that helped me get my current job, which I love. https://github.com/spaceaardvark/react-control-chaos

Highly recommend.

Reading and using YUI3 (https://github.com/yui/yui3) took my JavaScript to the next level. It's no longer relevant because of improvements to the language, but it's the best model of readable JavaScript I've ever seen.

DOS - high memory and expanded memory. It allowed games (OK, and maybe some productivity apps boooorrrinnggg) to take giant leaps.
