View Port
The browser’s viewport is the area of the window in which web content can be seen. This is often not the same size as the rendered page, in which case the browser provides scrollbars for the user to scroll around and access all the content. Narrow screen devices (e.g. mobiles) render pages in a virtual window or viewport, which is usually wider than the screen, and then shrink the rendered result down so it can all be seen at once. This virtual viewport is a way to make non-mobile-optimized sites in general look better on narrow screen devices.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">The width property controls the size of the viewport. The special value device-width, which is the width of the screen in CSS pixels at a scale of 100%. The initial-scale property controls the zoom level when the page is first loaded.

Immutable JS
Much of what makes application development difficult is tracking mutation and maintaining state. Immutability means that once you call that data structure in being, you can’t make changes to (a.k.a. mutate) the data structure and the data it contains at that particular memory location.
In Javascript, we have both immutable and mutable data structures. In JavaScript, strings and numbers are immutable by design. Examples of native JavaScript values that are mutable include objects, arrays, functions, classes, sets, and maps.
// Code from https://benmccormick.org/2016/06/04/what-are-mutable-and-immutable-data-structures-2
let a = 'test';
let b = a;
a = a.substring(2);
console.log(a) //st
console.log(b) //test
console.log(a === b) //false// Code from https://benmccormick.org/2016/06/04/what-are-mutable-and-immutable-data-structures-2
let a = {
foo: 'bar'
};
let b = a;
a.foo = 'test';
console.log(b.foo); // test
console.log(a === b) // trueBenefits of Immutablity : Easier to Debug, Persistence, Easier Deep Value Comparisons, Concurrency
