What's the best choice as per today February 2

I'm an experienced former Software Engineer that's being away from coding during the last three years. Now I have a project on mind on which I'd like to develop a frontend and show data from a noSQL database. Also I'll make calls to some remote APIs in order to provide with machine learning the app.

I've kept an eye on the internet about the new frameworks/languages that have been released since then. Also I remember giving a try to Angular and was awesome.

The real question here is quite easy, what languages/frameworks/technologies would you use as Software Developer that's up-to-date with such technologies?

回答1:

There are currently three front-end frameworks/libraries you can use and you can achieve what you what with each with more or less effort based on what you choose.

Note: Ignore any buzzword in each section. You won't need them until you choose one. But it gives you a sense of why your question is very broad and it cannot be answered easily.

Polymer

Polymer is a new open source library made for using Web Components to build web applications. It is similar to React in that it is a library and not a complete framework. It approximates features like the Shadow DOM, Templates, and HTML imports via JavaScript libraries called polyfills so that you can start building custom elements today that will be forward compatible with Web Components in the future.

It is a very easy to use library and google experts + community are supporting it, so you can be sure that you can invest on learning and get what you want out of it.

Angular

Angular is an in-depth, comprehensive framework developed by Google that will give you everything you need to set up the front end side of a website. Angular manipulates DOM by extending HTML with directives. Anything that changes in the view also changes in the data, thanks to the two-way data binding.

With the latest version of this framework you will get these out of the box:

Fully isolated components
Dependency injection
Two-way data binding
A solid templating engine
progressive web apps
Better speed and performance
A CLI which makes life easy for starters
Typescript and typing
Rxjs

React

This is an open-source library for rendering views with JavaScript. It stores two copies of a virtual DOM, including a second updated version that reflects changes fed in from the view. React is best when the developer has a good amount of dynamic content changing within the view, such as social media networks (obviously, because React was developed by Facebook). Perhaps this is why it is called React, because the quick reaction to change can save even a half second of delay in rendering.

Conclusion:

There are many factors involved when it comes to front-end development like size, performance, community support, standards compliance, separated presentation, obtrusiveness.

So make sure you know your requirements and that you are choosing without bios and with intention.

If you not start with something yet. I suggest to try VUE.JS this framework quite fast and easier to use. Vue.js are had VUEX(Redux) and VueRouter. It make people can do something like react but easier.
