nothing, in fact, I love Django but this list focuses on Java + JavaScript stack. Django is the first choice if you love Python.

There is bootstrap on the list for some reason but not Django or Flask 🤷‍♂️

Why Hadoop is included here? It makes me think that this article has been written carelessly. There is also a mention to Apache Spark.

@Shirish, come-on jQuery is not that bad, it has been a savior for me for many years :-)

Agree! jQuery had its good run. However when as frontend dev try to learn more advanced frameworks like React, Vue or Angular then they keep thinking in context of DOM manipulation and honestly, they have hard time wrapping their head around thinking in terms of reactive data rather than manually updating the DOM as they used to do in jQuery.

I have also used jQuery in the past and it was great, but now after using Vue.js and React for a while I don’t see the need of jQuery at all.

Django needs to be on this list. Elixir is becoming popular as well.

Django is definitely a framework worth learning if you are choosing Python stack. This list focuses on Java and JavaScript stack.

jQuery is and will remain the foundation of all major js frameworks for sometime to come. Learning it is good esp if ur into frontend dev.

completely agree. I have been on receiving end for including jQuery but it has been a very useful library for me over the years.

Flutter is waaaaay better than Cordova. Please try to play around with flutter and know for yourself. Cheers!

I think Flutter is a very good alternative of Cordova and it's seeing a lot of adoption too.

No Svelte.js? no Sapper? no Next.js? No serverless?

Let's just change that number in the title. 1990 should work

Every single course link has some kind of redirection/tracking on it. An affiliate program?

Anyway, it's good practice to disclose when you're using the article for more than sharing information.
