One of the oldest forms of strong joinery in woodworking is the pocket hole system. What has advanced is the new method of boring the holes with simple commercial jigs coupled with the new screws that is very easy to master. Here is an example of a project where every joinery is done with screws that can be mostly hidden from view and the ease of assembly makes for a fast construction, yet aesthetically sound.
The ease of construction is possible because all the cuts re 90 deg. straight cuts.
The Kreg Pocket hole system is one of several commercially available jigs.
Assembly is easy and quick and can be done with or without glue. Even when glue is used, there is no waiting time for it to dry.
Hoes can be plugged but even if left exposed they're not unattractive.
