You'll certainly have a hard time if you think you can use any javascript framework without knowing javascript itself.
Not understanding how 'this' works is like not understanding how classes work in an oo language, and no framework will ever hide that from you.
- kelvin0 10y agoAlthough what you mention seems obvious, you have to remember that is quite easy nowadays to cobble up some functionality with minimal knowledge by applying ready-made 'recipes' and following the ton of tutorials available in any language/framework (especially as an experienced programmer). The gotchas become painful when you start to dig through without prior knowledge of the nuts and bolts for debugging/profiling/scaling your application. So I completely agree with you, but I've seen many programmers whip up something in a weekend and not be able to extend the functionality of their app because they had no idea how everything fit together in the 'magical framework' of their choice.
