Vue.js is already better...

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Learning... </title>
    <script src="https://unpkg.com/vue/dist/vue.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>

    <div id="app">
      <p>{{title}}</p>
    </div>

    <script>

      new Vue( {

        el: "#app",
        data: {

          title: "Hello World"
        }
      } ) ;

    </script>

  </body>
</html>

Trying to learn React.js....and jesus christ. Such a poorly designed library my god. Many of the frontend jobs ask for React knowledge but this shyt is painful as fukk. It's difficult to remember all of the nuances and quirks in a 6 month time span to do this professionally. And this is coming from a c++ programmer lol. Everyone and their momma recommends using Vue.js but there aren't many job postings that ask for that.



Javascript itself is a shytty quirky, poorly designed language.


Does it really take 6 months to learn react? Ive learned html css and a good deal of basic javascript although i havent done anything on frameworks yet, how close am i to getting gainful employment?

No. It could take you a month. Or it could take you a year. It depends on the person. The 6 month time frame is a self-imposed rule.

Simply knowing a language isn't enough for gainful employment. You have to study a framework and make a couple websites/apps with it.

Never heard of it.

Knockout is old school... It was popular before AngularJS I believe

Any Java brehs in here need to get up on JavaFX. The power of it is :whew:

The multithreading and concurrency capabilities, property bindings, observable values, integration with XML and CSS (you can really come up with some elegant designs), and dynamic UI changes are all :wow:

I've been delving in web development lately and everything I learned from JavaFX (MVC design, CSS, XML) has served me very well too.

Got an interview for a frontend position, and they asked me if I did any experience in advanced queries, I have having to explain structure of database over the phone.:gucci: not even under job description and if I didnt, it wouldn't take long to do it.

I haven't done much work with Java packages on web. I'll look into it.

It's not just for the web. You can also use it to develop desktop and enterprise applications, mobile apps, games, process 3D graphics and more. That's why it's so :whew:

I made a small application with it a couple of years back. Much better than Swing and AWT :scust:. At any rate, UI/UX isn't my forte, I'll stick to back end.
