• Easy Learning curve
• best community support

Which stack will you choose and why?

Comments

[Jeferson Brito]

• React for Web
• Node.js for Backend
• React Native for Mobile

[Sarthak Sharma]

Why ?

[Tom Collins]

This is the stack I would choose as well.

Advantages:

• JS front end + back end
• Commonality between Web + Mobile
• Established communities in both
• Larger pools of developers to hire from
• React scales well. Lots of packages available and lots of good tutorials, documentation and other resources.

[Jeferson Brito]

Exactly!

You can use the same language that you are comfortable on front end, backend and mobile.
Also build incredible UI's for both, Mobile and Web, with one of the most used UI Libraries on the market : React 💜

• Great Community
• Lots of plugins and packages for all sort of stuff
• Fairly easy to pick up and get started

[Sarthak Sharma]

What about graphQL ? 🤔

[Jeferson Brito]

I haven't used that much but you can use the apollo client for React/React Native and express-graphql for Node

[Tom Collins]

Yep. I would include graphQl and possibly prisma as well. graphQl makes front end development far easier as your app gets more complex

[Mike]

I agree with this one. It is such a bonus to have developers who can work full-stack with them both being javascript.

[Taras Chuiko]

Vue + Node.js (Koa)

[Sarthak Sharma]

Why ?

[Taras Chuiko]

They are easy to learn and have nice community. Also Vue is kind of fast and lightweight.

[Sarthak Sharma]

What about learning curve ?

[Taras Chuiko]

I knew React. And I've learnt Vue to the level of creating of simple apps very quickly. I like both of them and use them for different projects.

[Andrew Baisden]

I would use the MERN Stack.

MongoDB - Database Storage
Express - Web framework for Node.js
React - Front End Framework
Node.js - Back End server environment

React is basically just javascript so if you learn the fundamentals of vanilla javascript then its easier to pick up. And with Node.js you are basically just writing javascript on the server. Combine all of that with a NoSQL/SQL database and you are basically full stack. Making you significantly more valuable compared to other developers who can only work on the front end or back end only.

Hmm I am relatively fluent with Angular and like it very very much. Project Organization, RxJs, and the separation of html, css and js are all very nice concepts.

However I am keen on trying out Vue :) But I am missing a nice project idea.

[German Bobadilla]

I'd say Vue, Django.
Vue is easy to learn and more powerful than react. Django is like all the backend in one technology.
It will also expose you to two different peogeamming languages. Javascript and Python.

If Django doesn't stick, go with the MEVN stack.

jQuery.

I am very serious about it.

[Sarthak Sharma]

The OG

Most projects don't need an SPA framework. That's a fiction that has been sold.

Some structure is good. I have nothing but great things to say about Stimulus. It's worth a look. stimulusjs.org

[Eddy Vinck]

The one that gets you a job you like. It depends on where you live. For me it was React.

[Bennett(he/him)]

Best community support

[Sarthak Sharma]

[LeeWHoward]

Isn't this an Angular vs React vs Vue discussion?

Personally I really like Angular, but it seems that most jobs in California are for React.
