Using a JS framework like jQuery or Angular or React isn't even remotely similar to Enterprise Java Beans and all that nonsense. You must be joking.

- jonathankoren 10y agoOh that's only because there's a new framework every 6 months.
- ak39 10y agoWhat's the difference between platforms, frameworks and libraries? Here's my attempt ... jQuery: library. (Others: D3, knockout). Salient feature: does not impose code structure or organization of code modules. Angular and React: frameworks. Salient feature: expects adherence to module separation and code structure protocol. Like other MVC frameworks. EJB: platform. Salient feature: provides entire terra firma and attendant oxygen for the entire solution. Frameworks and libraries are used on platforms.

- ak39 10y agoThanks. It's true that the word framework is buzzwordy. If you look at the general interpretation or the most common usage of that term, you'll see that it does refer to some type of "boundary setting" type of thinking. To work within the confines of a frame. So, IMO frameworks necessarily impose parameters within which to maneavure.

- mcintyre1994 10y agoUseful comment. EJB=Enterprise Java Beans right? Assuming that is the case, your other two examples were Javascript - is there anything in js that looks like EJB?
- ak39 10y agoYip. EJB is Java's version of another total waste of developer time introduced by Microsoft (MTS/COM+). These are larger constructs than mere libraries or frameworks. I call them platforms. You have to obey their large gravitational force fields. Failure to do that will result in catastrophe. Edit: I'd say the browser is the platform in the JS world. But analogies don't necessarily fold neatly.
- falcolas 10y agoI boil it down to a terrible analogy of a framework being like a bad date: "Don't call me, I'll call you."
