Hey! My 2 cents! This is cool list but -- I'm sorry to say it loud; it lacks a clear comprehension of each tool. ReactJS is not "Angular but by Facebook". And Java developer should try Typescript, a more java-friendly approach to JS.

I second Typescript, especially if you're working in a team.

Indeed, Typescript is good language. Thanks for comments

As fullstack java developer. two years ago i had to change the way I work with. I studied ReacJS, ReactNative and since then I develop fullstack using Java as restful backend, react and reactnative as web and mobile frontend. because the new way I followed I had many chance to work on great systems. I believe every java developer should move on and learn react, angular or vue ( I prefer react ), I also had to learn nodejs for small system's backend
So you can be Java developer and fullstack at the same time as long as you follow a new way of developing systems

Hello Luisa,
Thanks for your comment. You are right that React is a library, and not same as Angular but they are same in the sense that both are used to develop front-end for your application. You can choose either of one.

Regarding Java fullstack developer, well a full-stack can use any backend technology like Node.js but Java full stack developer is someone who uses Java technology like Spring in backend.

You might not come across this term if you are purely from JavaScript or Python background but its common in Java world.

Nits are being picked here. This article is more than fine to give someone just starting out or even experienced developers ideas on how to improve themselves.

I find your lack of VueJS disturbing.

No doubt Vue.js is good choice but Angular and React.js is more popular and you will more likely find them in your project rather than Vue.js, at least as of now.

I agree Angular is a great path to consider. I've loved it the last 2 years. I'd like to get into vue.js and react.

But don't bother with AngularJs for anything new. AngularJs is sunsetting support, which ends June 30, 2021. Version 1.7 was the final feature release.

Vue.js is also on my todo list, another reason I haven't included that on the list.

Once I learned VueJS, I dropped Angular and React for good.

Good to hear that, but how easy/difficult was to convience your team/project managers to switch to Vue.js?

Java is a standout amongst the most famous programming dialects. In a not so distant future, there is somewhat chance for some other language to supplant Java, not at any rate in 2019.

A very good alternative to the always used bootstrap is Semantic UI (semantic-ui.com)

Great list and tracks my company's hype cycle. Wanted to point out that there were 9 list items. Was there an actual 10th or is the title wrong?

Hi Richard, thanks for pointing out. There were actually 10, but one was missing :-) I have added it back.

There is no doubt that JavaScript is the #1 programming language and Node.js has a big part to play on that. Traditionally JavaScript is used as client-side scripting language where it is used with HTML to provide dynamic behaviour on the client-side. It runs on the web browser but Node.js allows you to run JavaScript on the server-side.

Ah Sorry, I think its converted to paid course now. It happens in Udemy, once instructor reach their target they convert free course to paid one. Nevermind, you can see this list for more free jQuery courses if that helps. java67.com/2018/04/top-5-free-jque...
