Interesting and inspiring article!

To learn/practice a JS framework I always build the same (video game search) app to focus on the front-end without spending time on the API, build tools... It's also a good way to compare the frameworks. But it may be time to change to another app :)

Which video games api you used? Gamedb?

IGDB (api-docs.igdb.com), but there may be better ones. Since it's only to practice the front-end development, I just picked a random one.

To be honest, I didn't found better Games-related API than IGDB, it was swedish project at first, but acquired by Twitch. Data set is quite rich and useful, so anybody looking for the games database, this one is pretty decent.

I found that IGDB is having most of the handheld (GB, DS, PSP...) games data while others are lacking a lot in handheld department!

As Victor mentioned learning a JS frame is a easy way to master JavaScript. Before jumping into a JS framework, on appcode.app (web developer reference site), there is an article on some basic JavaScript concepts such as functions and variables you might find helpful for beginners. Also a image of a basic JavaScript function below.

I would recommend to use wemake-vue-template to get started with Vue and Nuxt.

It allows you to start easily with the full-featured project. Features:

  • Proven to work on both small and large scale projects
  • Always up-to-date with the help of @dependabot
  • Latest nuxt for server-side rendering
  • Full typescript support, including Vue's SFC, Vuex, and tests
  • Tools to write business logics including: DI, IoC, runtime type validation
  • Linting with eslint + stylelint
  • jest for unit tests and testcafe for end-to-end testing
  • docker optional support for development, testing, and production
  • Gitlab CI with full test and deploy pipeline configured by default
  • Meaningful docs, covering almost every aspect of the project, including jsdoc annotations
  • Full vscode support and list of suggested settings and plugins
  • Easy update process, so your template will always be up-to-date

Btw, I did all of them but I haven't got a good CSS knowledge. Yes JS and its frameworks are good but I need advice about CSS :) What are your suggestions?

I need a guide like a start zero to a hero guide.

For example, it should contain, "units of measurement", "PSD to HTML", "mobile design and desktop design" etc.

Let's assume, Think a designer who uses the sketch. He/She gave me a template and expecting me coding this template.

What should I do first?

Excellent overview of frameworks and tools to build Apps.
It seems to me that is a bit ambitious trying to master all of them.
I use React (and Redux for state management) and still I am struggling with that.
Might be it is better to get a approach to all of them that be proficient in one.

I think it would be a smart move to go for one major framework like Vue or React sooner or later then. So you could use this to get a good overview and then decided with what to go on. Nuxt(Vue) works well with express so this might be a good starting point!

Collapse

Also it would be a big transition from a mindset perspective. As a backend developer, we think about data, persistence, concurrency, scalability. Etc.

I guess frontend development needs a mindset shift and some focus areas to think about

Yeah it would be a pretty big shift. Not mentioned in the article is all the things like learning CSS, learning accessibility, and learning to build in an environment where there are many unknown variables that you have no control over (screen-size, device type, browser, input method, etc.)

I suggest you to try to build a (very very simple) framework.

Try to implement the basis of a frontend framework: Render components, change detection, spa routing...

I don't think you will get anything suitable/maintainable/performant enough for a production environment, but you will learn a lot about vanilla Javascript and the typical gotchas of the frontend.

Collapse
 
beitadev profile image
Zaheed B.

How do I go about that?

Thread Thread
 
yeraycat profile image
Yeray Catalá

There are a few articles over the internet from people that tried to do it as a learning experience and documented it, however I can't find one good enough right now.

Those 3 topics I think are the core of every frontend framework:

  • Render components
  • Detect changes on the data model and update those components (and viceversa)
  • Navigation without reloading (spa routing)

So you can start by trying to find out how you are going to implement components.

You can do the Angular/Vue way, that is to render the component from an html template and give it some capabilities based on custom html tags, or you can go with the React approach, that is the opposite, to create the components using javascript functions and return the template.

Once you have that, you should start with the actual rendering. The gotcha here is to render components recursively (one component has another on its template, so when you render the parent every child gets rendered eventually).

Once you have that, start with change detection. This is the most tricky point I think, because it has to be done recursively also, but it can be a headache to keep it performant.

You can check the source code and issue trackers of existing frameworks to try to extract some techniques and knowledge about how they solved it.

Nice high level aggregation. This is awesome for anyone, even experienced dev, to refresh the knowledge and keep up with things.

Collapse
 
simonholdorf profile image

Yeah that's true to some extent. But Nobody needs to fully know everything in and out, If you are capable to handle one of the major frameworks well and also have some good basics in JS you are well prepared for the future I think.

Hey Simon, excellent article.
In my case, I prefer to learn this way with a real-life example than see all simple articles and documentation about it. I will save so much time. Next weekend I will start to see it. I am working with react js and in the beginning, it was so hard to understand the react work way and after redux connections. Whether I had an article like that my life could be easier.

So I can become a frontend master by developing a to-do app with Svelte?

Great!

I don't think it's the good message for young out-of-the-school developers. You promise shiny and brilliant future to them with many libraries and frameworks that didn't even exist 3 years ago and that will be replaced by a more shiny one next year. It 's not with libraries & frameworks that we, developers, build a solid experience.

Moreover, it's not with to-do app and static blogs that we become masters. It's by practicing again and again, by learning fundamentals, best practices, design patterns, languages' principles, by trying, failing and not giving up. It's by building complex systems, working with many other devs, and putting code to production.

Hi, Simon. I think Mike North's workshop may be a good resource for those wanting to try out Ember (in particular, Ember Octane).

github.com/mike-north/ember-octane...
emberjs.com/editions/octane

Mike starts out simple by teaching how to component-ize your HTML files and how to render dynamic data. He then gradually introduces more advanced topics in web development.

The video recording is on Frontend Masters (members only), but Mike's notes are available for free for everyone who want to self-learn and conduct the workshop themselves.

This is a very great post, I will do all I can to create all these wonderful apps.

Building a lot of them with react though, then switching to Vue on the remaining.

Thanks for this great post

This is an awesome round up of web frameworks :) I'll be happy to try some of them out.

Edit: I was going to use vuetify, but I think Quasar is taking the cake!

Hi Simon, thanks for the article, but I really wish you had a more inclusive image set in the post header. Not all "masters" look like this. Hope for your understanding.
