What is this?
This is the personal blog repository of Chinese frontend engineer fouber, sharing articles and thoughts on frontend engineering, performance optimization, and career growth.
Is this a blog with its own posts, or just a list of external links?
It is both: a table of contents linking to the author's own article series on frontend engineering, plus curated links to sample projects, industry practice write-ups from other engineers, and classic books and articles.
How is the content organized?
The README index is split into sections: article series on frontend engineering basics, career development essays, sample static-resource-management projects, industry practice articles from companies like Meituan, and lists of classic books and articles on web performance.
Is this list of articles still being updated?
Not stated whether the list is actively maintained; the repo was created in 2014 and reads as a snapshot of the author's thinking at the time, with an explicit request not to fork it.
Who is this collection useful for?
Frontend engineers, especially Chinese-speaking developers interested in frontend engineering practices, performance tuning, and career progression.
Where should a beginner start reading?
Start with the '前端工程——基础篇' (Frontend Engineering - Basics) series, which is listed first under the article series section and covers foundational concepts before moving to performance and automation topics.
Does it cover automated testing and XSS security?
Yes, the list includes an article specifically on setting up frontend automated testing and a multi-part series on XSS firewall techniques by another author.
What classic books does it recommend?
It recommends 'High Performance Web Sites', 'Even Faster Web Sites', and 'High Performance Browser Networking', all focused on web performance.
Why does the author ask people not to fork the repo?
The repo description explicitly says 'star or watch if you like it, but please do not fork', since the author treats it as a personal, evolving journal rather than a project meant for derivative copies.
