 Crawlee is an open source web scraping and browser automation library for Node.js designed for productivity. Made by Apify, the popular web scraping and automation platform. Crawlee is the successor to Apify SDK and escaped Apify's labs after 4 years in development. While the Apify SDK was always open source, the library's name caused users to think its features were restricted to the Apify platform, which was not true. For that reason, the Apify SDK was split into two libraries, Crawlee and Apify SDK. full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/15803-scrape-the-web-with-crawlee.html

 New NodeJS Database Driver for Oracle Released Version 5.4 of node-oracledb, the Node.js and TypeScript module for accessing the Oracle Database, has been released and is available from npm. The node-oracledb add-on for Node.js allows applications to be written in TypeScript, or directly in JavaScript. Version 5.4 connects Node.js 14, or later, to an Oracle Database. Last month in "New Database Drivers for Oracle and PostgreSQL Released" w looked at another recent driver release for the Oracle database, but for another language - Python. That driver had a major name change from cx_Oracle to python-oracledb to signal the change that the new driver is a thin driver and therefore makes no use of the Oracle Client libraries. As such it was aligned with the rest of the language*-oracledb naming schemes as node-oracledb does. full article on i-programmer: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/15606-new-nodejs-database-driver-for-oracle-released.html

  Microsoft loves Open Source and loves Python. Now it seems, it loves JavaScript too? Who would have thought that someday Microsoft would promote and teach languages and frameworks not based on .NET? Ten or more years ago Microsoft's interest in dynamic languages materialized under the Dynamic Language Runtime project, a project that aimed to port such languages to the CLR to allow them to  inter-operate with the .NET languages under the same roof. I shared my thoughts about in a review of  Pro DLR in .NET 4.0 book . full article on i-programmer
