For a high-quality, in-depth introduction to React, you can’t go past Canadian full-stack developer Wes Bos. Try his course here, and use the code SITEPOINT to get 25% off and to help support SitePoint.When React was first introduced, one of the features that caught most people’s attention (and drew the most criticism) was JSX. If you’re learning React, or have ever seen any code examples, you probably did a double-take at the syntax. What is this strange amalgamation of HTML and JavaScript? Is this even real code?Let’s take a look at what JSX actually is, how it works, and why the heck we’d want to be mixing HTML and JS in the first place!What is JSX?Defined by the React Docs as an “extension to JavaScript” or “syntax sugar for callingReact.createElement(component, props, ...children))”, JSX is what makes writing your React Components easy.JSX is considered a domain-specific language (DSL), which can look very similar to a template language, such as Mustache, Thymeleaf, Razor, Twig, …

"Brainternet" was created by two fourth year students at a university in Johannesburg, South Africa.Source: PixabayFor the first time in history, researchers have connected the human brain to the internet. The invention links a small Raspberry Pi computer to a headset with 14 nodes that correspond to different parts of the brain. Each brain wave can be monitored on a screen. In the future, this technology could be used to transfer information back and forth between mind and computer.“Brainternet” came about as the fourth year project of biomedical students Jemma-Faye Chait and Danielle Winter from the Wits School of Electrical and Information Engineering in Johannesburg, South Africa. The students were supervised by Wits professor Adam Pantanowitz.According to Pantanowitz, the technology is much less scary than it sounds. “Brainternet is a new frontier in brain-computer interface systems. There is a lack of easily understood data about how a human brain works and processes i…

The Advanced Protection Program will use Google's USB Security key in place of two-step verification.Google will soon be offering an Advanced Protection Program to lock down the Gmail accounts of high-value targets.According to Bloomberg, the new Gmail service will block third-party apps from accessing user data and introduces a replacement for two-factor authentication based on Google's USB Security Key.Google will begin offering the Advanced Protection Program next month, which will be marketed to "corporate executives, politicians and others with heightened security concerns".The service appears to be aimed at raising defenses against sophisticated phishing attacks of the type that led to the Gmail hack of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign chairman, John Podesta, and the breach of the Democratic National Convention's (DNC) databases.Bloomberg notes that the service builds on USB Security Key, for which Google introduced software in 2014. Security Key is a ph…
